The addition of the 300 megawatts to the national grid is commendable.

In the short run, there will be some improvements in terms of reliability with limited blackouts.

But I am sure when the economy seriously takes off, our electricity will not be enough, we will start to import again.

Electricity is still expensive for industry and that can only be corrected if we generate more electricity.
