Energy White Paper provides the spark for revitalising power sector

The Energy Sector White Paper issued by the Ministry of Energy last month is a good starting point in reviving the electricity sub-sector to achieve power accessibility, reliability, and affordability.

The Paper correctly defines energy as a public good and enabler of national productivity. Energy planning should be an integral part of national socio-economic planning. The Paper is not a government policy document but an expert analysis requiring stakeholder input for completeness and concurrence.
