The Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate Change is optimistic that the Malawi Electricity Access Project (MEAP) will help the government meet its target of increasing the country’s electricity access to 50 percent by 2030. The committee’s Chairperson, Werani Chilenga, made the remarks on Saturday after visiting households that have benefitted from MEAP which the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) Limited is implementing. Chilenga, who is also Chitipa-South Member of Parliament, expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress while also acknowledging resource challenges ESCOM is facing.
