National Energy Sources Development Program
In 1993, a National Energy Sources Development Programme was implemented to reduce energy imports and obtain maximum benefits from domestic energy sources. The document proposed energy efficiency as the first national source of energy and mandates exploration and exploitation of the biomass-based energy generation potential of the country, increase in electricity cogeneration, adoption of efficiency measures in the fisheries and transport sectors, and support to development of hydropower, wind and solar sources especially in isolated areas.
