The Policy notably seeks to reduce energy costs by allowing the private sector to engage into electricity production. It aims in parallel to 1) diversify sources of supply, 2) exploit indigenous renewable resources, 3) adopt energy efficiency measures on the production, distribution and demand sides, and 4) implement appropriate pricing and other regulatory policies.
