La croissance de la consommation d’énergie est induite par la croissance économique et l’industrialisation du pays, ainsi que par le changement de mode de vie de sa population. S’il est vrai que toutes les formes d’énergie ont enregistré un taux de croissance plutôt élevé, la consommation d’électricité a crû de manière exceptionnelle, suscitant de fortes préoccupations quant à l’éventail des combustibles utilisés par le secteur de l’énergie, à la dépendance accrue à l’égard du pétrole et au fardeau excessif qui pèse sur le budget de l’État. Ainsi, le gouvernement est résolu à diversifier les sources d’énergie et à accroître l’efficacité de la consommation d’électricité.
