In order to achieve climate change mitigation objectives, the electricity sector should considerably reduce the carbon emission by 2030, which will be achieved through intensive expansion of the use of low carbon electricity generation technologies, such as renewables, nuclear and potentially Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), while incorporating segments of heat and transport sectors into the electricity system.
