Overall Summary:
It is the second revision version of PDP 2007-2021. Contents cover reliability of power supply, fuel diversification, power purchase from neighboring countries, and power demand forecast. Revision is mostly due to inappropriate forecast of peak load and inclusion of energy from the Very Small Power Producers to the load. Total additional generation capacity minus retirement of aging power plants is forecast at around 22,652.5 MW. Of which, new power plant projects include combined cycle power plant, Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects, small hydro/solar/wind projects, power purchase from Small Power Producers (SPPs) and Very Small Power Producers (VSPPs), coal-fired power plants, nuclear power plants.
