Officials said proposed work could cover expanding, rehabilitating and building transmission facilities, alongside governance changes intended to support private participation in power generation and improve distribution efficiency. For mining, the government is considering legal and regulatory reforms to strengthen its ability to assess agreements and protect national interests. An electricity options and readiness study is expected to recommend investment options by January 2027. The announcement describes planning; it does not confirm financing or construction. ## Data ### Compact-development milestones Meeting and study timing reported by the government.
