The Institute of Energy and Climate Change Policy (IECP) has said it will be difficult for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to achieve its 2016 manifesto target\u00a0in the energy sector in the next four years.<\/p>\n
According to the institute, the target can only be achieved in 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to our projections, it will take about 20 years for the NDC to fulfill it targets in the power sector,\u201d IECP said in a report analyzing the NDC\u2019s 2016 manifesto on energy.<\/p>\n
IECP said it arrived at the conclusion following assessment of previous promises and achievements of the NDC government in the energy sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the analysis of the NDC\u2019s 2016 manifesto and the government\u2019s previous achievements, IECP is of the view that, the NDC cannot achieve all of these promises in the next four years. This is grounded on the fact that, between 2012 and 2016, the government has only achieved 35.06% of the power sector promises.\u201d<\/p>\n
IECP among other things also urged government to implement power sector policy reforms\u00a0to enhance private participation.<\/p>\n
