The programme was firstly launched in 2003 with a goal to support households in meeting their primary energy needs. It was quickly understood that that scope and format of the programme ware not suitable for on ground conditions. It was realized that many households are allocated in remote area where geographical barriers posed serious problem in project realization. After modifications programme was re-launched in April 2007 with a main objective to support indigent households allocated in un-electrified areas with free basic alternative off-grid energy to meet people basic need, e.g.cooking and lightening.

Other goals were to: 1) minimise health risks by promoting safe use of energy (e.g. populate usage of modern cooking stoves), 2) maximize energy efficiency by energy producers, carriers and promote energy efficiency habits among end-users, 3) address, where possible, wide socio-economic issues that arise from inadequate provision of electricity to the community. The above objectives will be achieved by joined implementation of 3 different programmes: National Electrification Programme, Free Basic Electricity and Free Basic Alternative Energy. The programme can not target areas where a) Solar Home System Programme is already carried out or will be; b) immediate plans to electrify the area exist. The programme will be implemented in areas most distant from the electricity grid and where energy poverty is most prevalent. Municipalities will be heavily involved in the programme. They will compile and provide list of beneficiaries suitable for a programme, manage on-ground activities and will be responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Ministry on the programme fulfilment, also they are responsible for implementation of fraud prevention measures.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese refiners were…

The World's Biggest Energy Bet Is No Longer on Fossil Fuels

For years, critics of the energy transition have made essentially the same argument. Renewable energy was supposedly too expensive, too dependent on subsidies, too intermittent, and too vulnerable to survive a serious energy security crisis. Sooner or later, they argued, governments and investors would return to the comfort of oil, gas, and coal. The latest figures from the International Energy Agency suggest the opposite is happening. According to the IEA's newly released World Energy Investment 2026 report, global investment in clean energy has…

The World Is Racing to Develop New Nuclear Fuels

In the age of the nuclear renaissance, several countries are strategising to significantly increase their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades, as part of efforts to diversify their energy mix and boost long-term energy security. However, securing fuel to power operations has been complicated, particularly following the introduction of sanctions on Russian energy products. Now, alternative uranium fuels offer promise for the nuclear energy industry. Nuclear fission, used in all existing nuclear power plants, is the process in which an…

China Eyes a Major Opportunity in Post-War Iran

Beijing is positioning itself to lead the post-war reconstruction effort in Tehran - a move analysts suggest could secure China long-term access to critical Iranian oil reserves. The diplomatic groundwork was laid during a recent meeting in New Delhi between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to Nikkei Asia. The talks underscore China's broader strategy to expand its economic and diplomatic footprint in the Middle East amid the vacuum left in the wake of one failed US…
