This is a newly established Division created to initiate, coordinate and support the establishment of viable, sustainable and efficient energy sources. These will largely be determined through evidence based interventions. Thus the Division will be coordinating and supporting research on power generation, transmission, import/export, and distribution of electricity as well as primary energy resource development including renewable sources of energy as basis for policy advice. It will also be involved in coordinating and supporting exploration and development of efficient energy technologies and infrastructure for economic utilisation of energy sources in the country.

The Division will exist “To initiate, coordinate and support research and development on energy services.”
