Power generation and transmission expansion planning procedures in Asia: market environment and investment problems

The panel will review the present status and prospective ideas of power generation and transmission planning procedures in a market environment. This problem is very important for different countries in Asia, as well as for any other countries which took part in the liberalization of electric power industry. Japan, Korea, China, India, Russia and others are now on the way of transition of their electric power industries to a new market structure and new economical conditions. One of the main aims of electric power industry liberalization is the attraction of investment for new more effective generation and transmission development. The objective estimation of needed investment can be made on the basis of new advanced procedures of generation and transmission expansion planning in a market environment. There are many issues in the discussed problem: the technology of power generation and transmission expansion planning procedures; methods of making decision on generation and transmission network in a market environment; specific features of solving the discussed problem in different countries of the region; use of the correlation state regulation and market mechanisms for attraction of investment; improvement of surplus generation for effective electricity market operation; etc. The Session will stimulate the discussions and studies in this important area.
