CEB Long Term Generation Expansion Plan 2018-2037
Overall Summary: 
The CEB Long Term Generation Expansion Plan 2018-2037 includes information on the existing generation system, generation planning methodology, system demand forecast and investment and implementation plans for the proposed projects and recommends the adoption of the least cost plant sequence derived for the base case and also emphasizes the need to implement the plan to avoid energy shortfalls.
Governance
National policy structure: 
The objectives of the generation planning studies conducted by CEB are, (a) To investigate the feasibility of new generating plants for addition to the system in terms of plant and system characteristics. (b) To specifically investigate the future operations of the hydro-thermal system in order to determine the most economical operating policy for reservoirs, hydro and thermal plants. (c) Toconductsystemsimulationstudiestodeterminetheeconomicallyoptimummixofgeneratingplants to meet the forecast demand and the acceptable reliability levels in the 20 year period ahead. (d) To investigate the robustness of the economically optimum plan by analyzing its sensitivity to changes in the key input parameters.
