Said Matola: \u201cMalawi lost about 130megawatts due to damage caused by one of the power stations by Tropical Cyclone Ana. This has significantly affected power generation and supply in the country\u2026in this regard, Malawi needs to build disaster-resilient structures for electricity generation and distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aspirational resilient growth path for the energy sector is anchored mainly in the design of energy infrastructure to better withstand climate shocks and support the same aspirations of reaching 50% electricity access by 2030,\u201d explained Matola. At the forum, Matola is accompanied by Water and Sanitation Minister Abida Mia.<\/p>\n
