Electricity is artificial energy and won't help Berbera, I'm ensuring PL govt focuses on tree planting, especially selecting tree species that add more moisture in a dry climate.

Trees are far more better and longer lasting and has better impact on weather altering. Good luck Berbera with your wasted $. 20 million. Electricity is only needed as secondary back up not a primary solution.
