How will you make power more reliable and affordable?
I'll unbundle state power assets and concession national grid transmission to private investors, opening generation through transmission to full private investment. I'll secure gas supply guarantees so plants run steadily, push distribution companies toward full cost recovery with proper metering for every customer, and tackle electricity theft through real partnership between investors and government backed by legislation. For industrial zones, I'll encourage captive power generation so businesses get dependable, affordable supply.
