The third Malawian Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS III) recognises this central role of energy, citing it as “the lifeblood of the economy”, and laying out a goal to “provide sufficient sustainable energy for industrial and socio-economic development”. Improved access to reliable [Photo to be added, and sustainable energy supply is one of the core outcomes the MGDS III seeks to achieve. pending validation] In response to these commitments, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining (MoNREM), acting through the Department of Energy Affairs (DoEA) and Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA), has worked to put in place policies, regulations and a framework that will allow increased investment and rapid growth in the power sector. The National Energy Policy (2018) and the Malawi Renewable Energy Strategy (2017) build on the targets laid out in the Sustainable Energy for All Action Agenda (2017) and provide high-level policy direction, complemented by detailed technical analysis made available in the most recent Integrated Resource Plan (2017). To translate these goals into reality, the Ministry will rely on clear plans to move key investments forward, based on transparent funding arrangements that aim to provide reliable and sustainable energy for Malawians at the lowest possible cost.
