The State plans to connect 2.4 million households to subsidised power in the year starting July, inching closer to the ambitious goal of universal electricity access.
In the Budget Policy Statement for the year ahead, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani said the increased connections will be achieved through a mix of geothermal, coal, and wind, solar and hydro sources that will more than double power generation to 6,700 MegaWatts (MW) from 2,819 MW.
