To achieve the national objectives, the Government is pursuing the following strategies: -

Secure supply
Diversification of fuel type and sources, technology, maximize use of indigenous energy resources, adequate reserve capacity to cater for contingencies [adequate reserve margin for generation, upgrading transmission and distribution networks and distributed generation (islanding)

Sufficient supply
Forecast demand, right energy pricing and formulate plans to meet demand.

Efficient supply
Promote competition in the electricity supply industry.

Cost-effective supply
Promote competition and provide indicative supply plan to meet demand based on least cost approach using power computer software such as WASP;
 
Sustainable supply
Promote the development of renewable and co-generation as much as possible.
 
Quality supply (low harmonics, no surges and spikes, minimal variation in voltage)
Match quality with customer demand with variable tariffs;

Efficient utilization of energy
Bench marking, auditing, financial and fiscal incentives, technology development, promotion of ESCOs, Labelling, Ratings, correct pricing, energy managers; and

Minimizing Negative Environmental Impacts
Monitor the impacts, improve efficiency of utilization and conversion and promote renewable.
