The issuance of the energy licence underscores the government's efforts to attract investment and promote private sector participation in the energy sector, in line with its broader objectives of achieving energy security and promoting sustainable development. It is anticipated to stimulate competition, drive innovation, and improve service quality in the state's power distribution segment.
