7. Key Policy and Regulatory Issues in the Energy Sector(1) The policy of the energy sector especially of electricity is supported by an arsenal of the documents in particular : Policy of the sector of Electricity Program government Program National and Strategy within the framework of SE4All Diary of Action Country and Leaflet of Investment

7. Key Policy and Regulatory Issues in the Energy Sector (2) About PPP…. the Government defined a certain number of principles which guide the reform of the public companies. It is about : the progressive disengagement of the State of the commercial sector to allow the private sector to play a driving role in the development of the national economy; reinforcement of the normative and regulating role of the State in the economy; the promotion of the sector deprived like instrument of creation of the richnesses and engine of the economic growth.

7. Key Policy and Regulatory Issues in the Energy Sector (4) The law (2014) relating to the sector of electricity devotes the liberalization of the sector of electricity and creates the conditions of securisation, profitability of the investments, by recourse to formula PPP. As an example : the SNEL within the framework of rehabilitation and development of the infrastructures is today in partnership with especially the mining companies.

7. Key Policy and Regulatory Issues in the Energy Sector (5) The same law also created a new institutional framework in particular by the installation of the Authority of Regulation and National Agency in charge of promoting and financing Electrification in rural and périurban area . Currently, while waiting for the effective installation, there exists for the two institutions the preparatory committee which finalized measurements of application.
