Grant Description

Malawi - Power Sector Reform Project - Power Sector Reform Activity: Rebuilding ESCOM into a financially strong, well-managed utility and developing a regulatory environment that supports public and private investment in new generation capacity and expanded access.

The Power Sector Reform Activity complements the Infrastructure Development Activity by providing support for the Government's policy reform agenda and building capacity in pivotal sector institutions: ESCOM, the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority or its successor ("MERA"), and the Ministry of Natural Resources Energy and Environment ("MNREE").

The Power Sector Reform Activity consists of two sub-activities: the ESCOM Turnaround subactivity and the Regulatory Strengthening sub-activity.
