Doubts raised as gov’t fast-tracks power projects

Although few details have been provided about the review of the IRP, it is understood the fast-tracking of several projects is in line with supporting the country’s energy transition from its current near-total reliance on fossil fuels such as coal.

The IRP, launched in December 2020, details six major renewable energy projects government intends to procure from independent power producers to cover the country’s electricity demand over the years to 2040.
