Government has this universal tariff pricing policy where regardless of where you produce electricity you are charged the same amount. So it really isn\u2019t logic for private people to go into these areas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In recent times, there have been calls to reduce the electricity tariffs as the nation prepares to venture into renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Citi Business News, Ishmael Edjekumhene was hopeful the private sector will be able to delve into renewable energy soon especially with the passage of the renewable energy law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there are some grey areas, some regulatory issues that would have to be resolved but we started the right path by passing the renewable energy law, and following up with all these plans subsequently, I think once we tackle some of these challenges, we should be good to go\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke to Citi Business News at the sidelines of the launch of the new Exeron hybrid off-grid system by Metka Energy.<\/p>\n<p>The Exeron Technology is designed to offer power for areas with limited access to grid or bad grid connection, whilst providing significant cost savings. The product is developed and manufactured by International Power Supply (IPS).<\/p>\n<p><b>About Metka<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Metka is an engineering contractor and industrial manufacturing group, active within the Energy, Infrastructure and Defence sectors.<\/p>\n<p>It is active in carrying out major power plant projects throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with strong emphasis on highly-efficient combined cycle gas turbine technology.<\/p>\n<p>The company has significant experience in gas turbine based power generation, including combined cycle, co-generation and simple cycle technology, providing solutions and optimal performance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Sunday, 10 December 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-12-10 The current energy regime is not favorable for the private sector to go into renewable energy Energy research firm, KITE has cautioned that the current energy regime is not favorable for the private sector to go into renewable energy.
