new projects that aug<strong>me</strong>nt capacity e.g. geothermal, thermal, wind<br />

Green energy invest<strong>me</strong>nts through Feed-in-Tariff<br />

A total of 1,789.6MW of new generation capacity is being developed<br />

between 2011 and 2015 out of which 857MW will be green energy<br />

(hydro, geothermal and wind), 732MW of new thermal plant (MS<br />

Diesel and coal) and 200MW of imports.<br />
