By their nature, renewable electricity technologies are generally modular and are ideal candidates for improving rural electricity access situations in the country. Grid power extensions over long distance to serve low load densities are usually technical and financial a poorer option than decentralized renewable electricity. Third, until now, renewable electricity has never really been part of the national power planning process. The policy guideline provides a common framework to integrate renewables into the energy technology mix in meeting national electricity supply. Fourth, renewable electricity provides more diversity and improves the reliability of electricity supply through the grid. This could potentially be important in ensuring the stability of grid electricity supply, especially in times of localized disruption of sources of power supply.
