• 10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is asking about incentives. I think the feed in tariff that has been gazetted by the Government is one incentive to allow the private sector to develop and generate power to feed the grid. Those tariffs are very conducive. I could not tabulate them here because the table is long. There are power various energy; there are many hydro, geothermal, biogas and many other bio-fuel types, and the tariffs are given.

In fact, we have not been investing a lot in power generation. We want to get it from every source. Power is very expensive to invest in.
