#1 And here, for a moment, I thought we're talking about USA.

#2 If I had a vote(?) I would say help them do it. More electricity ~~will~~ may help bring them into the 20th century. TV, refrigeration, stored food, light to read by, a buildup of the power distribution infrastructure brings utility jobs, etc.
The dark turn of course will be the generation of toxic fissionables and a possible loss of access control, worse than the general insanity we see today.
Balance this risk against the very desirable progress of the first point with the very real likelihood the whole solution will fail in less than 10 years, perhaps disasterously, when the trained Homers forget to activate a cooling pool pump.
All good.

#3 More electricity will may help bring them into the 20th century.

Sorry Skidmark, its Thursday, 15 Dhul Qa'ada 1434 AH for them, and the 20th century won't arrive for them until 2576 AD, bit of a wait don't you think.
