Master Plan for Renewable Energy Development (2012-2026)
The objective of the Master Plan is to formulate a strategy for the use of renewable energy between 2012 and 2026.
The plan does not set renewable energy targets, but provides scenarios for capacity addition of different renewable energy technologies by 2026, in three stages (2012-2016), (2017-2021) and (2022-2026):
| Capacity additions (MW) | |||
Technologies | Existing capacity (MW) | 2012-2016 | 2017-2021 | 2022-2026 |
Small hydropower (<20MW) | 35 | 102.5 | 51.8 | 16 |
Wind power | 10 | 20 | 30 | |
Solar PV | 0.5 | 18 | 21 | 51 |
Solar thermal | 60 | 80 | 60 | |
Geothermal | 204.4 | 5~9 | 55~80 | |
Biomass | 109.5 | 45 | ||
Biogas | 6.3 | 10 | 25 |
The plan also includes handbooks for the development of small hydropower and wind energy.
