The General Telegraph urges experts in the energy sector to work diligently toward the establishment of an appropriate generation mix that would result in a national self-sufficiency in energy. According to the Paper, it is necessary to address the issue of power, to encourage greater investment in power generation.

This regime must also be incorporated in a formula that would ensure that energy is not rendered inaccessible to the disadvantaged in society.
