The program provides for the establishment of a competitive
electricity market, strengthening energy security, the efficient
use of hydropower and renewable resources, and the development of

capacity in the country is expected to increase by 2,680 MW.
Significant reductions in electricity losses across the grid are
also planned, and electricity exports are projected to reach up to
5 billion kilowatt-hours per year.
