Primarily focusing on electricity and heating networks, maintain a robust energy network and avoid failure of the country’s tightly interconnected heating and natural gas distribution networks. Prioritise critical areas; consider reinvesting income from rehabilitated areas in subsequent stages of system upgrade and/or rehabilitation.
Plan a staged phasing out of energy subsidies, with a gradual move to cost-effective electricity, heat and natural gas tariffs, allowing to maintain the energy infrastructure intact. Improve investment climate and elaborate on modalities for government investment programmes.
Provide measurable incentives to maximise energy efficiency gains, elaborate on national policies and institutional set-up, promoting development of energy efficiency and renewable energy on a larger scale, with clear targets and workable programmes.
Continue development of the country's vast solar potential; assess developments of off-grid solar in remote areas.
Continue application of the latest technologies for enhanced oil and gas recovery, opening up new fields for oil and gas exploration and production; assess the country's shale oil and gas potential and encourage foreign direct investment in the country's upstream oil and gas sectors.
Promote R&D activities on the most pertinent aspects of conventional, alternative or unconventional energy resources, to encourage smart investments in the country’s conventional and alternative energy developments.
