CEB Long Term Generation Expansion Plan 2020-2039 (Draft)
Overall Summary: 
The CEB Long Term Generation Expansion Plan 2020-2039 (Draft) 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 base case plan. It also emphasizes the need to implement the plan to avoid capacity shortfalls. Long Term Generation Expansion Plan 2020-2039 (Draft) was Submitted to PUCSL for approval on 24th May 2019.
Governance
National policy structure: 
The objectives of the generation planning studies conducted by CEB are, (a) TodeterminetheDemandForecastfornext25years. (b) To investigate the feasibility of new generating plants for addition to the system in terms of plant and system characteristics. (c) 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. (d) 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. (e) To investigate the robustness of the economically optimum plan by analyzing its sensitivity to changes in the key input parameters.
