CEB Long Term Generating Expansion Plan 2015-2034
Overall Summary: 
The ‘Report on Long Term Generation Expansion Planning Studies 2015-2034’, presents the results of the latest expansion planning studies conducted by the Transmission and Generation Planning Branch of the Ceylon Electricity Board for the planning period 2015- 2034, and replaces the last of these reports prepared in April 2014. This report, gives a comprehensive view of the existing generating system, future electricity demand and future power generation options in addition to the expansion study results.
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) To conduct system simulation studies to determine the economically optimum mix of generating plants 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.
