The planning objectives aim to assess electricity consumption needs over the past years, review electricity demand forecasts for the years 2021-2024, and propose electricity demand scenarios for the periods 2025-2030 and 2031-2050.
Simultaneously, research options for developing power sources and grids, selecting several options with good economic and technical indicators and high feasibility, ensuring safe and continuous electricity supply for socio-economic development, using energy resources efficiently and economically, considering the strong development of renewable energy sources; taking into account electricity import and export with countries in the region, proposing options for the development of the national power system for the period 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050.
This study analyzes the feasibility of the power system development plan in terms of: the construction schedule of power sources and the synchronized power grid; funding sources and the ability to mobilize capital; environmental impact assessment and preparation of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) report for power development; and researches and proposes key solutions regarding mechanisms and policies for power sector development, plan implementation, and ensuring sustainable development of the power sector.
