The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) are set to release new guidelines on the competitive selection process (CSP) for the country's power sector to protect consumers from sudden increases in power rates and power interruptions due to canceled supply deals.

The new CSP policy is set to be released in May, according to the ERC.
