Domestic solar expansion: National companies will lead the construction and immediate commissioning of new solar power plants across five provinces to diversify the energy mix.

Efficiency-driven cost reductions: The Cabinet has mandated a 3% reduction in electricity and heat transmission and distribution costs, to be achieved through operational efficiencies in the short term.
