Encourage innovative strategies for technology transfer through reliance on special programmes under global funds, such as the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and funds from other bilateral and multi-lateral cooperation agencies.  Explore technologies such as hydrogen-based electricity, gasification and fuel cells on pilot basis subject to appropriate funding from donor agencies. Three key principles underpin Government strategy in electricity generation and supply. Firstly, availability, security and diversity of supply with particular focus on renewable energy; secondly, affordability with a view to ensuring socio-economic development of the country taking into account the financial sustainability of the utility and thirdly, energy efficiency and conservation, given the high volatility of the prices of fossil fuels, in particular oil.  Secure adequate investment by putting in place the proper market conditions for such investment in view of massive investment required in electricity section in next 25 years.

The CEB will continue to generate electricity in line with the policy outlined in the 2005 Presidential Address. Regulator to ensure level playing in relation to electricity generation. Encourage modern coal power plants using clean coal at improved efficiency of 40 to 45% to substitute oil.  Address issue of ash disposal and particulate emissions in an integrated environment strategy.  Set up a coal plant of 110 MW with all the mandatory environmental safeguards at Pointe aux Caves. Installation in the short-term of six new engines, each of 15 MW capacity at Fort Victoria to replace the old inefficient ones at St Louis. ENERGY STRATEGY FOR TRANSPORT SECTOR
