Context
National Development Plan 2010-2014 (chapter 6):
• The mining/energy sector is considered a growth “locomotive” (key
productive sector), and has the responsibility to ensure the energy
provision for the development of the other sectors
• The sector’s commitment focuses on supplying the demand with
high quality energetic, in a reliable and environmentally sustainable
manner.
Context
Sets the general framework for its Climate Change Agenda
