SV ENERGY SECTOR MODERNIZATION

closed

The Energy Sector Modernization Project will: (a) improve service reliability and increase coverage by rehabilitating, modernizing and expanding power generation, transmission, subtransmission and distribution systems; and (b) assist in the restructuring of the sector's legal and regulatory framework through the preparation of secondary legislation and procedures, and to support the Electricity and Hydrocarbons Regulatory Commission (EHRC) and the National Energy Council (NEC) when their respective laws are enacted. At the same time the government is introducing policies to promote environmentally sound investments and operating procedures by establishing project guidelines and quality standards and by strengthening management and enforcement capacities.
