Article Abstract:

Energy supply expansion have been prescribed as the necessary foundation for industry expansion, job provision and the raising of standard of living in developing countries.

There is a need to refocus the provision of energy services to the real keys of economic and social development. This can be done by the utilization of more energy-efficient technologies and the development of less costly and ecologically destructive energy supplies.
