It took some time today. In two long articles, Reuters talk about the future of energy in China, and India's Vice President of the draft speech at the conference are all for energy. Both, the issue of energy efficiency and economic growth, and the amount of energy to the problem have a common point.
Reuters coverage of China starts that Beijing suburb east ring road 5 line from the story of the Sinopec gas station has begun. The gas station is unable to supply gasoline to the truck in the raw, and saying go somewhere another. Trucks say, we do not go anywhere, because we can not move without gasoline. At the end of the article, the recent drastic increase in the wholesale of diesel per liter up 5.29 yuan to 6.23 yuan. Then, Sinopec stand has a shorter raw of trucks, because of the impact of energy policy, it is said.
China is blessed with natural resources is likely, if per capita it is not. China’s coal is the world's third largest reserve, and, in 2007, the China)s production was accounted for 40 percent of the world. However, if used as it does, coal would be disappearing in 80 years, oil in 15 years, and natural gas in 30 years. China’s energy consumption per GDP is three time an eight times of the United States and Japan. That has been we are paying attention.
The Chinese government has a plan the current energy per 10,000 yuan GDP, equivalent to about 1,460 dollars , to be go down to a 20 percent cut in 2010. That means , in 2005, TCE was the equivalent of 1.22 tons of coal and will be 0.98 tons in 2010. In the 11th Five-Year Energy Development Plan, for 2005-2010, the growth of energy consumption reduced to 3.5 percent and, energy consumption in 2010 will be to 2,446,000,000 tons of coal equivalent.
Vice-President of India has touched on this point, but it is not match with our sense. According to him, Indian to earn a dollar GDP1 with 0.16kg of oil equivalent using electricity, China's response 0.23kg, the United States 0.22kg, and the world's average of 0.21kg. The loss of power problem, it is important for India. It is now 36 percent loss in India and it is worse than the world average of 28 percent.
Both of the two articles have, on renewable energy, a lot of character. Both the development of hydropower is considered as a major pillar of renewable energy. China's nuclear power is also still planning on going to be room for expansion. Both have a point of how to curb coal-fired to be saved. It is going to say with a common point.
For bio-fuels, Vice President of India has an important point. First, solar and bio-fuel dependence on the land, his saying “land intensity”, are his concern. For example, cover with solar power in Japan and 250 million people are said to be sacrificed. Shikoku Island in Japan is comparable to the population and land on this point. Also, for a scattered collection of bio-fuels, Google saying is that the intelligence network of transmission lines is required and it may be a
revolution.

Accelerating India’s nuclear development
I was playing a baseball at the junior high school students. I missed passing the ball and watch the front of a grounder for stones hit, and the embarrassed explanation. Yesterday's prime minister, Taro Aso, is responsible for the economic slump, the shy, it's because of the United States, and had an excuse. The U.S. Senate on bill deliberative discussions between the finance and twist one, and the U.S. sign a nuclear cooperation agreement, approved by 86 to 13, and ratification was established.
As a result, on October 10, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice come to New Delhi to stand down, for the stage of signing the agreement. President Bush has promised that flowed from the fourth of the year. According India's Economic Times newspaper today, the Indian Chamber of Commerce Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) asked for the government to the next step forward and encourage the Indian companies. They are ready to accept help.
India has the plan, for the next 25 years, 60,000 MW of nuclear power development, expected cost of 1,000 billion dollars. The government has set 10 nuclear power stations at a particular point. India has more than a plan than China has for nuclear development program. China is planning 4 percent in 2030. Nuclear industry, even more than China and India vie for entry into the world.
Standing as a partner in a local company, National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC), Reliance Energy, Tata Power, Larsen and Toubro, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, and the overseas companies are in the starting line, General Electric, Westinghouse, Areva, Atomstroy and so on. Japanese companiesworry that, even though the Japanese government agreed to supply the efforts of a group of nations, they are hampered by the lack of agreement between contries.
But the clear trend in the industry and the nuclear power industry, will lead a group of three; the United States Westing house and Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and French AREBA, Hitachi and the U.S. GE. In the building a larger flow, Toshiba has a partnership with Larsen and Toubro of India. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has actual records, in the state of Texas in 2007 based on 1,700 MW 2 units, pressurized-type light-water reactor, at the latest with the momentum. Such a framework, which like India to work in?
However, before the U.S. signs the agreement, India has been in Russia's nuclear cooperation. With the Indian side of the U.S. signs agreement, also, India get Russia signed a military agreement. Thus, India is in a neutral stance of international in keeping with the stick. Even the Prime Minister Singh has done to assess the efforts of the ruling party, the opposition parties have accused saying that it is surrender to the United States. In world opinion, Israel and Pakistan, Iran and North Korea in the future what will become of the Public opinion. Japan, who has experience of the atomic bombing, has several opinions. Those are the challenge that is you need to know.

Tibetan Plateau water source for continent
Indian professor has given his view with a long article to the Japan Times. The Professor, a head of the world water institute in Delhi, described in this article, by beginning with the tenacity of China's water content to be focused on tight. "The battles of yesterday were fought over land. Those of today are over energy. But the battles of tomorrow will be over water. ", the professor gave a serious expression in short writing.
We see at the world that Asia is rich in water. The Middle Eastern countries are visiting Cambodia to secure lands for agriculture because of uncertainty for their food security in the future. I know that tunnels of trees in roads like in South Asia could not see, because these phenomena can happen only rainfall more than 2000mm per annum.
But, the professor is explaining that water resources for drinking water are very small. Two-thirds of the earth is water, but, the water without salt is only 2.5 percent, and, if excluding the Antarctic and Arctic ice, it will be decreased to 1 percent. He had a conversation on the seriousness of water problems in China saying that China's Tibetan Plateau Water is irreplaceable.
President Hu Jintao, in 1989, implemented the martial law to maintain the movement of Tibet, and Premier Wen Jiabao said, " Water scarcity, threatens the very survival of the Chinese nation." The problem of water shortage is thanatobiologic shedding of China, the word originated. The more ominous words, the Minister of Water Resources Wang Shucheng, in the words of the "To fight for every drop of water or die, that is the challenge facing China.", Said. Tibet, in the vast area of the glaciers and underground water, has enormous water resources.
Professor emphasized that the characteristics of the water resources of Tibet is not content but with the altitude 5,000 m above sea level, and this means immense value. Literally, if possible gravity irrigation in agriculture as in Japan, but in India, irrigation pumps to increase the capacity of this preferential electricity rates for agriculture due to the power sector in India is poor. Japan's power to favor agriculture, but fewer pumps, is not a problem.
The Tibetan Plateau, because of the amount, and due to the height, are so dominant in the Asian continent's major rivers. In particular, India's Brahmaputra River and the Indus River is thoroughly dependent to Tibet. China, in Brahmaputra River at Gorge's famous "flex point of a large Great Bend", has a plan to build a dam. And, this point is in China's territory just before reaching the border with India. Beijing can get water with gravity alone to carry the water.
He has, not just Tibet China trying to attack, but said the role of the International Rivers Institution. This happens in major international rivers to the inclusion of some international institutions is needed, has said. The requirements of the institutions are to ensure transparency and information sharing, prevention of river pollution, and prevention of diversion of the river basin to the outside, he said. Mekong River Commission, in the absence of China, is not fully functional.

Renewable Energy Bill in Philippines
The August 26 article reported that the Department of Energy has implemented the rule of bio-fuel, which is mandatory usage of coconut methyl for gasoline in the car for more than 2 percents. It is enacted on October 2008 and, by February 2009, to be full implementation. Is it really possible? ASEAN countries, are watching closely for breath. In Indonesia, oil production is beginning to decline. According September 28 article, Indonesia’s ministerial order of the Department of Energy has implemented the rule that a 5 percents of bio-fuel should be used for fuel of power plants and so on. The full scale of the mandatory rule shall be effective from January 2009.
The Philippines’ senate passed the Renewable Energy Bill. This might come from ASEAN agreement. In the Senate, Senators Edgardo J. Angara and Juan Miguel Zubiri is the heart for the bill. They are saying, within five years, the market will be 10 billion dollars scale. Oil saving may reach to 36 billion pesos.
NEDO has been describing that, in the end of January, the 15th ASEAN Summit held in Cebu has agreed on "Energy Security in East Asia Declaration (Alternative Energy Agreement)". The Philippines suggested , at that time, four points for energy; efficiency of fossil fuel, hydro and other renewable, bio-fuels and the globalization of markets.
I believe that the Philippines is in a dilemma, I think. The nationals are complaining the most expensive electricity prices in neighboring countries, but as a country poor in natural resources, high electricity prices will require the development of renewable energy, namely, using domestic resource as much as possible. I have confidence in the international market, while imports of coal and coal-fired by the expansion of the electricity, at least, for 10 years.

India's fight against global warming
On today's topic, I do not know about the field, but it is too exaggerated to Items, which is saying , in India, to solve the power shortage with this, and so I tried to read it. It was India's Mumbai and a challenge to the Green Building, and another the northern Indian hill state of Himachal Pradesh state government is a challenge to renewable energy.
Regarding India's challenge for human beings to global warming, it is substantial how to curb coal-fired and go. I think the most important recently, the Japanese Government and JICA is working for the efficiency of India's power sector. Even though a green building and renewable energy is small for earth, it is in India to boost people's awareness, mobilize a force.
Green Building, is currently in India, the land area of only 20,000 square feet, which by 2012 expanded to a billion square feet, he said. Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has the idea. From the building structure itself, the use of solar and rainwater has been considered, compared to the usual construction, 40 to 50 percent of the amount of electricity used is to be saved. Building demand is 20 percent of the total electricity demand.
I do not want to be said by India people, but I am concern what's going on in Japan. I check up but there is no significant move. Of course, I have to expect, perhaps, big power companies would be interested, and they are going to study. In the United States, in July 1994, the National Green Building Association (US Green Building Council) is established, building industry, of course, electricity and gas companies, financial, real estate, local governments, universities, environmental groups, general manufacturing, manufacturers, etc. Participation in the industry beyond the framework of the activities, he said.
I, as in Bangkok and Jakarta's demand for electricity to a historic move, consider the following. After a high level of economic growth, the day peak is higher than the evening peak. This is why the economic growth of the city's major building companies has been increasing rapidly, especially with increased demand for air conditioning. So, make sure the morning at nine, air-conditioning turned on, most turn off at five o'clock that evening, eight hours of peak demand the ultimate form of it.
So, for example, such as Thailand, Laos to see the current situation of the hydraulic load to 15 hours of daytime driving and has asked for, but it should converge on the peak eight hours. So, for example, a 15-hour Nam Theun 2 hydropower is now 1,000 MW, and in the near future, be sure to 2,000 MW and the need to expand. From this perspective, green building, have a major impact on electricity demand.
Today, more of the Green Building, Himachal Pradesh state's efforts to develop renewable energy, and it will be held tomorrow from a Nepali and Indian Water Resources Committee in Kathmandu. Nepal's water resources can solve the problem by constructing the height of the dam, Pancheshwor the 315m, Kosi High dam 269m. They are very large-scale plans for the dam and power plant. Runoff and sediment from the Himalayas, flood protection downstream, considering the need of this magnitude, but the financing and construction period, considering the mind-boggling.

Indonesia's bio-fuel
Indonesia fell down from colleagues of oil-producing countries and it was quite a shock for Indonesian. Even in the National Assembly, the tops of related companies were summoned and asked whether to really go down crude oil production. For the mandatory use of biofuels, the Philippines recently made legislation. But, at that time, ASEAN countries said in a calm, watching the Philippines how going it's mandatory of biofuels.
However, Indonesia was unable to stand with fears, and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has implemented the mandatory registration as a ministerial ordinance of 2008, from October 1 as fuel to generate a certain amount of mandatory biofuels incorporation, and attempts, 2009 From January 1, said bio-mass and the incorporation of 5% duty due to go into full operation. In particular, cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum for bioethanol can take from the current 192,349-kilo-liter, but in 2010, it is target significantly to increase to four-million-kilo-litters.
The total amount of the current world production, according to sound information and materials, at the end of 2005, is 3,650 million kilo liter of bioethanol. Bioethanol is the mainstream in the future, and the United States, Brazil's production of two prominent countries, followed by EU, China, India, and the amount of production is expanding. The production of bioethanol is for blending with gasoline directly. Some states in the United States and Brazil, the ratio of mixing is made mandatory.
Mr.Suzuki Takamura, as also I introduced before. His macro figures are into easy-to-head. "The current arable land in developing countries untapped has potential of l 2,054 million ha, and farmland will be developed as a 1,059 million ha, with the rest of the rotation 995 million ha for the forest bio-methanol (methanol is not bioethanol), equivalent to oil in 5.8 billion tons.

Government mandates gradual phase-in of biofuel for industries
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/09/27/government-mandates-gradual-phasein-biofuel-industries.html
However, Indonesia was unable to stand with fears, and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has implemented the mandatory registration as a ministerial ordinance of 2008, from October 1 as fuel to generate a certain amount of mandatory biofuels incorporation, and attempts, 2009 From January 1, said bio-mass and the incorporation of 5% duty due to go into full operation. In particular, cassava, sugarcane and sweet sorghum for bioethanol can take from the current 192,349-kilo-liter, but in 2010, it is target significantly to increase to four-million-kilo-litters.
The total amount of the current world production, according to sound information and materials, at the end of 2005, is 3,650 million kilo liter of bioethanol. Bioethanol is the mainstream in the future, and the United States, Brazil's production of two prominent countries, followed by EU, China, India, and the amount of production is expanding. The production of bioethanol is for blending with gasoline directly. Some states in the United States and Brazil, the ratio of mixing is made mandatory.
Mr.Suzuki Takamura, as also I introduced before. His macro figures are into easy-to-head. "The current arable land in developing countries untapped has potential of l 2,054 million ha, and farmland will be developed as a 1,059 million ha, with the rest of the rotation 995 million ha for the forest bio-methanol (methanol is not bioethanol), equivalent to oil in 5.8 billion tons. ", He said. "The total demand for 2100 will be 11,2 billion tons, and 6.0 billion tons from hydropower and nuclear, 5.2 billion tons by bio-methanol."

Salween river dam development
My first see of the Salween River was on October 3, 2000, when we were going to Kohkan district, a special autonomous region, in the vicinity of the border between Myanmar and China. It was exposed on the road side. The river water looked dark as I have imagined. There was absolutely no dam in the basin; completely virgin river.
In the time of Thailand's economic development in the late 1980s, the Salween basin was a garden of Japanese consultant, and they were planning not only hydropower but introduction of its water into Bangkok. As Myanmar's military government increasingly isolated in the process, China's economy has been growing. The dam development was controlled by Chinese companies, most of the Japanese withdrawal. It is heard that the dams are proceeded in cooperation between China and Thailand.
Thailand's environmental experts are saying that China's current government should have to control the Chinese companies in the Myanmar. The experts say the Salween river should be developed with more comprehensive consideration in cooperation with upstream development plan in the territory of China. The problem in the Mekong River, is treated in an article yesterday.
In the downstream of the plan, Hutgyi and Tasang dams are being proceeded. The Hutgyi dam is relatively small and proceeded ahead of Tasang. The Tasang dam development project had 40% of share. But, the Myanmar government took over it and gave to Chinese companies. A a results, the Chinese group become a majority for the project. In today's article, the Wai Gyi dam project may be upstream of Tasang and near the border of China.
In the upper reaches of Salween in China territory , several dams of cascade are planned. In the past of Time magazine, it was argued that the plans of upstream and downstream should be cooperated. Also, it was said that the local government should consider the residents in the basin.
The Chinese new government, in an age of Premier Wen Jiabao, said about the development of the dam, quite negative. the purpose of the National understood that, while quite negative, And China will take the initiative if any international development organizations want to be built.

China and the Mekong Basin Conference
Just before writing this memo today, my friend introduced the paper by the University of Tokyo, the master's thesis, Kayo Oonishi, written in 2006, "China and the downstream of Mekong River countries upon The Politics of International River Basin. That is, of course, very academic, to me, and I can muck around strainer, but you would think, this digs deep into the Mekong River as a researchers, and I was surprised.
In an international river, if the upstream of the most powerful country in the region exists, it would leave the power to develop upstream, and say this is a theory. Compared with the history of the Middle East and Europe, compared to other, why China in the Mekong basin is very cooperative to other riparian countries? That is, in the downstream of Southeast Asian Nations and China, the deep ties with China, and the water resources and other economic conditions are under negotiation with each other, the paper said.
In today's article, the China Daily, the downstream countries of the Mekong are grateful, to say the article is posted. This was formally signed Flood water at the time of the meeting in Vientiane. In the flood season, from June 15 to October 15, the flow of materials would be provided by China to the Mekong River Commission Secretariat, this is what he said. It means the data provision had been already provided in 2006, as the paper is saying.
However, I feel a little different. I realize that, for the Chinese dam development in the upstream, the downstream countries often have the patience to be here. Indeed, many environmental groups are saying complain to the Chinese dams. However, the governments of, at least Myanmar, Laos and Thailand have never been saying a single word for complain, and the Mekong River Commission, who controlled by the downstream governments, never given any comments to the Chinese government.
In the early 1900’s, at that time, already, the Manwan dam in the upstream was built. However, the upstream was in the dark for the downstream countries. Now, we know the details of the dam projects at upstream. In 1991, it was the first time that Chinese delegation participated in the Mekong meeting in Luwang Prabang, Laos. Around 1998, I visited frequently in Yunnan Province. I asked to executive in Yunnan how the downstream contries are saying for Chinese dams in Lanxan river. They replied that the ASEAN countries have never saying the complain to China.
I believe an upstream dam is beneficial to the downstream, in theory. It supplies the amount of drought and controls the flood. But, in any case, the two sides should talk each other to operate the dam properly. If no thought is given to the downstream operations, the downstream countries have different effects. However, even if the downstream requests to operate the dam for downstream benefits, Chinese government may not say any request of the money, under the present situation.

India, 60,000MW hydropower by 2025
My "the four men who developed Asia", sat at Katmandu in Nepal, and told India's power. He is Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh. In the morning paper this morning, my one of four men, former Thai Prime Minister Samak was caught and sentenced to two years in prison.
Ramesh told 60,000 MW of hydro development. I heard something similar figure, and I could see a record of the past; on this September 21, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia told the 600,000MW nuclear development by 2050, not 2025.
Ramesh told in a very comprehensive and exhaustive way for 60,000MW by 2025. The point is, the current ratio of hydro-thermal power, is 25:75, and in 2025, with 40:60 to go in, it said. It is difficult work, but is a very ambitious plan. I understand that Ramesh is challenging to the mankind's last job, it is his declaration to humanbeings.
In the world of today, in order to protect the earth, India and China's coal-fired should curb them. However, hydropower development in India, is easy to say, but, to achieve it is essential to get international cooperation. If you are an expert in Japan, and if you have time to argue the CDM in domestic, you should go to the Himalayas.
A breakdown of the 60,000MW, what Ramesh said is, out of that, 50,000 MW of domestic resources, and 10,000 MW from the Bhutan. 50 percent of the domestic resources would come from abundant hydropower resources of the northeastern Arunachal Pradesh, and the rest of the state's mountainous Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir. Now, India imports 1,400MW from Bhutan. Further, new 1,100 MW of plan has emerged.

China and India in a scramble for Nepal
Today, it is a tremendous flood of news. For the energy development of the Himalayan frontier, it is in the revelry. It was interesting for me. I gave early eyes, "the man who developed Asia", two of India's Ramesh and Prachanda. They direct clash with in Nepal, it has caused a lot of a whirlwind.
But, in today's series of articles, what caught my attention is the following points. Indian companies are in droves to develop hydropower in Nepal. However, banks of India raised the funds to be very cold. On the other hand, Chinese companies are rushing into Nepal with the government's general fund in cooperation. Then, the Indians are caught in the unspeakable frustratins.
Chinese companies, such as China National Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Corp., Or CMEC and Sinohydro Corp are getting the endorsement of official Bank of China and China Exim Bank credit for West Seti and the Marsiangri Development of hydropower on board. The Indian companies accessed to the country's Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank, but they have no interesting. They are looking for financing from the Bank of China. China's exactly the approach, targeting resources in Africa is the same way.
Ramesh of India gave speech at the opening ceremony of the summit, and it gave real India mind. "It is not a difficult task. However, the private capital market is unlikely to come up with the entire amount. You need public-private partnership and the government of Nepal must play its role. "The remote switch is in the hands of the Nepal government. If Nepal presses fast forward, India will go along with it. If Nepal presses pause, we will pause. But I hope Nepal doesn't press rewind.”
Still, India can not hide who is frustrated. Indian government official says. " Chinese competition in Nepal is overstated. It is partly due to nervousness and partly due to the reason that they are strong. As Nepal is in our immediate neighbourhood, we get jittery,”

The root cause of Vietnam's power shortage
As it has been free to attack the problem of Vietnam's energy, power problems, why come here and have chaos? One hint of a story that I think is in the today' article. Vietnam, during the 2010-2015 year, 30,000 MW with plans to develop, of which 26,000 MW coal-fired. In the same thought in Indonesia, given the soaring oil and gas, obviously, it is planned.
Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), as part of the plan, 13 coal projects in the planning and writing a letter directly to the prime minister, it has been proposed. For this proposal, EVN said the attitude of denial. The reasons are that lack of funds, technical difficulties, and difficulties of coal. Vietnam's power sector now, how confusing, and we know half of history.
Tran Viet Ngai, Chairman of the Vietnam Energy Association, told that the attitude of the EVN, 'wise move' action, he said with irony. EVN's hydroelectric engineers obsession with the abnormal development and are not eager to develop thermal power. Regarding with foreign capital, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. and so on in the past, have contributed greatly to the development of thermal power development, but now it is the cumbersome procedures for investment in Vietnam and the difficulty of negotiating power purchase from the waist to close completely.
The problem is that EVN has been very rigid in the organization. However, a more fundamental problem is that Vietnam's economic prospects. With fears of inflation and the government, not to raise electricity rates. EVN to buy higher electricity from the IPPs and to sell cheap to the customers, but does not improve. Another is that they want solve the shortage with hydroelectric power.
Hydroelectric power is for the peak supply, and, if it is neglected to construct a base power, a system can not work. If there's nuclear, a combination of nuclear and hydroelectric, or pumped storage is optimum. If the development of coal-fired thermal power as a base, hydropower or pumped storage should be a peak power. Indonesia and the Philippines, the pumped storage and coal thermal combination is the basis. Renewable energy and the development of domestic energy resources, it is just complementary.
Atomic Energy of Thailand began to move. Consultant of the United States is performing the feasibility study with about 5 billion yen in 20 months until May 2010. Plan said first nuclear will come in 2020. Thailand is suffering from Laos, one-year delay in the development of hydropower, and LNG imports from Qatar, 10 million tons will be far, 1 million was only the contract. They need to revise power development plan PDP.

Baglihar dam displaced yet to be rehabilitated
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/india-news/baglihar-dam-displaced-yet-to-be-rehabilitated_10098377.html
Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), as part of the plan, 13 coal projects in the planning and writing a letter directly to the prime minister, it has been proposed. For this proposal, EVN said the attitude of denial. The reasons are that lack of funds, technical difficulties, and difficulties of coal. Vietnam's power sector now, how confusing, and we know half of history.
Tran Viet Ngai, Chairman of the Vietnam Energy Association, told that the attitude of the EVN, 'wise move' action, he said with irony. EVN's hydroelectric engineers obsession with the abnormal development and are not eager to develop thermal power. Regarding with foreign capital, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. and so on in the past, have contributed greatly to the development of thermal power development, but now it is the cumbersome procedures for investment in Vietnam and the difficulty of negotiating power purchase from the waist to close completely.

India's Initiative for South Asia power grid
"India's Initiative for South Asia power grid"
Regarding a story like this, I say, "the man who developing Asia", have not be passed. India's minister of state for power and commerce Jairam Ramesh and Nepal's premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' of the two persons, today in a separate phase of the articles, simultaneously touched South Asian power trade through their energy development plan.
Ramesh recently accompanied India's NHPC, who had been reluctant to go to Myanmar, to the capital of Myanmar to visit and got agreement of two hudel projects. That's Chindwin river basin 1,200 MW Tamanthi project and the 600MW Shwzaye project. Actually, Ramesh aims of the natural gas off the coast of Myanmar. However, the development of the Chindwin may contribute to the South Asia power grid, which linked strongly to the plan.
For Bhutan, it has already been proven in imports by 2020 of 5,000MW hydel power. For Nepal, the Nepal premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' in the Delhi visit, his own over the next 10 years to develop an offer of 10,000 MW. The private sector companies in India already have been working. For . Myanmar, Chindwin project is under investigation.
In today's article, Sri Lanka is also involved. In Sri Lanka, 450 million dollar undersea power transmission line and plan to move further development of coal-fired 500MW by NTPC is moving. For India, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka's plan to form large networks, it is Ramesh' mind as a core of India. What's to be Bangladesh ? Currently, the gas pipeline is the relationship between in the conflict.

Pakistan's private thermal power development
The impact of the terrorist bombing of the Marriott Hotel is shocking for us. Newly appointed a new president of Pakistan is expected, but Pakistan, also coming to the new era of unrest?
Power supply remains strictly in the nation and has continued to limit supply. The former president, he led the development of large-scale dams, and to respond to public discontent, even though it will be after a dozen years until the supply of power. It could not absorb complaints. Today's article, backing to reality, the progress of the power supply system developed by the private sector is explained to the public.
The new Cabinet Minister for Water and Power Raja Parvez Ashraf, instead a dozen years in order describes the development of large-scale dams, rather than short-term outlook until 2010, told the public. Originally, the private sector-funded thermal power plant, also in Pakistan comes first in Asia. "Asia's peregrine falcon", comes at the beginning of the Prime Minister Bhutto attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hub is fired.
Dealing with the private equity Board of Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) plan, are reported in detail. On the whole, it is summarized that the year 2009 a new 2,380 MW, 2010 in the year to 1,100 MW into the system. Specifically, in 2009, 575MW, 3 and two oil-fired 429MW, 2 gas-fired two more 205MW to be introduced in 2010, it said. In the medium term, 12.4 billion dollars in 2016 to 13,335 MW by the investment in efforts to develop screening during the project is 51 projects.
Summary exposed to it in Pakistan. Sorry a little old data. Pakistan's land area is 796,100 sq km, population about 142 million total, about 93 billion U.S. dollars GDP (2002). By the end of 2002 upon the business of power generation capacity of power generation facilities, 13,363 MW (68.4%), IPP is 6,183 MW (31.6%) with a total installed capacity of 19,546 MW (100%) .

India，600,000 MW nuclear power development
India's Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, after the meeting, told on Integrated Energy Policy for the draft, to reporters. The Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement with the United States is coming to the final process, and the upsurge of India's nuclear development is every day in India's news. Next week, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will attend a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly with Bush.
The announcement said that surpassing of the previous plan is a great idea. The development of nuclear 600,000 MW by 2050, in the next 40 years, means each year 15,000 MW, 15 - 1,000 MW machines to begin operating. In the next five years, 70,000 MW of total power shall be developed in the 11th 5-year plan. It means most of them in the development of nuclear energy are calculated. How we get a big idea.
This initiative is on the foundation, of the course, of Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, and, recently the the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG) also support with its agreement. Also, as a condition for the next 12 years, 30,000 ~ 40,000 MW worth of fuel and the application of thorium technology shall be the condition.
India, nuclear non-proliferation treaty has not entered yet, and there struggling to secure nuclear fuel. 4.0 million KW nuclear power plant utilization rates have dropped, spurring a lack of fuel. On the other hand, a big nuclear power development, China has a plan, "the uranium resources in China, even at present only about half of demand with supply capacity in the future, overseas for uranium resources exploration and development activities is the need to strengthen. ", it was written and presented papers recently.
India and China to secure nuclear fuel to the competition, is considered. Both coal-fired secured 70 percent of the country, where the two countries on nuclear and coal-fired power to go lower, for the concerns of all humanity. If they expand it, also, the safety of nuclear power come great interest.

Nepal's hydropower development challenge outback
"Nepal's hydropower development challenge outback"
Nepal's potential hydropower has been said 80,000 MW. This is India's current power equivalent to 57 percent of facilities. A major focus of the post-Kyoto is the India's development of nuclear and the hydropower development in India's north front, including Bhutan and Nepal. These power, to what extent, can suppress the development of coal-fired. For humans, it is the last challenge.
Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', after the first visit to India, returned home on Thursday. He said to the Indian official. India and Nepal shall develop 10,000 MW of hydropower in Nepal for 10 future years, by private companies. Potential of 80,000 MW are there, but the development of 1,000 MW per year for 10 years may be difficult works for both countries.
However, the difficult of political situation in Nepal and diplomatic relations between India and Nepal have been overcome, Prachanda said that in mind. This is to help the world out of high significance climate change issue. The Japanese government is going cooperating in the development of hydropower projects in India's north front. North front of India and Nepal have exactly the same line. The Japanese government used positively to help Nepal from poverty, even in the bad security in the past.
To develop hydropower in Nepal, there are many of the walls. Today's articles touched the construction of transmission lines and access problem.
The idea of transmission line construction of 220KV,4 circuits, between two countries is not working. In the Kosi river upstream, dam construction needs the long access road. The article says today, in India, 1KW hydropower development can be done with an average of 1,105 dollars, but in Nepal 2,652 dollars really needed.
In addition, the construction of dams needs reservoirs to some extent. The influx of sediment from the Himalayas may be a difficult problem. The break in a glacial lake is also a problem. In reality, Bhutan has flood damages from them. The last challenge of humankind to Nepalese hydropower needs many talented engineers in the world.

Cambodia's hydropower development study
Please refer to my HP which involves relevant mapshttp://my.reset.jp/~adachihayao/indexE.htm?lang=en
In Cambodia, after the peace process since 1992, mainly in Phnom Penh, Japan and several governments and institution in Japan had cooperated in the reconstruction of power. Eventually, it has been said that it is necessary to expand the country-wide studies. However, because of security and land mines, it did not happen. In today's report, after long awaited, JIVA, Japan finally decided to expand the study and the power of the investigation report on the development is completed.
Today's report came from China's Xinhua. It means that the Cambodian Ministry of Industry, Mine and Energy (MIME) is surrounded by many Chinese technical teams. During the JICA study on the development of the southwestern Cambodia, Cardamon Mountains, China's hydropower projects are moving.
Cambodia, as a means of emergency in the 1990s, many diesel generators were mounted. For the diesel generators, power had to set a higher rate. To this end, Cambodia's electricity rates, along with Japan and the Philippines, in Asia, have a higher rate. In order to solve this effort for many, but for large-scale development was difficult because of the demand for electricity; today came up with a high rate.
We also temporary, southwestern Cambodia, near the border with Thailand, to build a large-scale coal-fired sent to Thailand, some thought the plan to consumers in Cambodia. Japan's Chugoku Electric Power was hit in the survey, sponsored that did not last. The proposed coal-fired, was handed over to Thai companies, have survived; we are listening. On the other hand, at the same time momentum, the Chinese team's technology is running for development of hydropower in southwestern.
In any large-scale projects in recent years is difficult to realize upon the Cambodian government, and the expectations of the people responsible for the goal. By 2020, from any means, the nation shall send electricity to all villages. In 2030, 70 percent of households shall be connected to the nation's power grid to receive power from. We are well aware of the Cambodian government's efforts official and we pray for there success.

Japan's Chugoku Electric Power was hit in the survey, sponsored that did not last. The proposed coal-fired, was handed over to Thai companies, have survived; we are listening. On the other hand, at the same time momentum, the Chinese team's technology is running for development of hydropower in southwestern.
In any large-scale projects in recent years is difficult to realize upon the Cambodian government, and the expectations of the people responsible for the goal. By 2020, from any means, the nation shall send electricity to all villages. In 2030, 70 percent of households shall be connected to the nation's power grid to receive power from. We are well aware of the Cambodian government's efforts official and we pray for there success.

Nepal's new prime minister visits India
10 and several years ago, Nepal bought anti-aircraft guns from China, India sealed the border, and Nepal had shortage of gasoline for cars for several months. This time, our "Asian Development man", one of the faction boss of Maoist, Prachanda Nepal's first prime minister, he visited China before India. He run for the explanation in India.
Today's article is, Prachanda hover over Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the face of such a joyfully to the photos remain. Prachanda's agricultural college graduates, temporary, UNDP agricultural experts. During his rural cross over, he awake for the Maoist idea and fought in the guerrilla activities as a boss. Repeatedly, he run away to India. In today’s picture, Prachanda looks like a younger brother for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
He was saying, with reminding of China visit before India, 'peculiar and different' than other countries' and 'Nepal would like to prosper along with India ', India, Nepal, we have to have prosperity.
Still, Nepal's change to this year is striking. A year ago, Maoist had guns and fought with gthe overnment, the king’s political dictatorship. Prachanda was the boss of the guerrilla and he was in crime. Still, I was surprised, Prachanda is soaring democracy, liberalization of capital to take the lead in the initiative.
His Maoist is still in the army not to disarm the factions and he was screaming free of Nepal's economy . When the president is not dominated by the faction, they were likely to return to guerrilla way. But, now he is a flamboyant knight of freedom of Nepal. Nepal's vast water-power resources are utilized for human, whether it's his depends on his heart.

India's power transmission corporation division
Please refer to my HP which involves relevant mapshttp://my.reset.jp/~adachihayao/indexE.htm?lang=en
"India's power transmission corporation division"
PGCIL, India's national transmission line corporation, in any direction it is going, we have been very interested. Suddenly today's issue of the division of PGCIL is quite fresh. In Indian Power Ministry, in February, the committee was set up to study the corporation, with the chief of Gireesh Pradhan, additional secretary to the chairman.
The committee, in August submitted a final report. The contents involves idea of division between the transmission lines/substations and load dispatching. Also, accounting system should be divided by 2009 until the end of March. The decision may be that The transmission lines are just a wire, and load dispatching is the basic point of power free market.
Worldwide liberalization of the electricity power company is headed in the direction of division, unbundling. Indonesia and Thailand are on the verge of split, the Constitutional Court's judgement, power transmission lines are not insulated from the body. Vietnam has yet to split up progress. A typical split is going on in India, China, and Philippines.
China's case, when Prime Minister Li Peng visited Tokyo Electric Power, he asked on Japan's reform on split, but the Japanese side is not giving definite answer. Prime Minister Li Peng returned home, immediately split their unbundling. Power generation sector is completely split, and the national grid has power in the sector. The national grid company take all power from distributed power companies and take responsibility for their supply. To do so, pumped storage power plant belonging to the national grid.
Philippines are completely divided into a national power grid Transco independence. However, the Transco is not off-taker of power and is just a company only to send electricity. Further, Transco handed over its operation and management to China national power grid operations. For the time being, MPC shall take electricity from IPP's, in the future, all in the pool market WESM. The responsibility of power supply is ambiguous.
India is what happens, a lot of interest. Already divided into separate PGCIL, I had guess that, as in China, a responsibility and obligation will be taken by PGCIL, but not. The conclusion of the committee, transmission and power load dispatching should be divided, as in the Philippines, but power supply and operational responsibility for feeding have tried to say in load dispatching center? It is new approach, but also anxiety there. I think that China's system is better.

Kosi River in India and Nepal's problems
"Kosi River in India and Nepal's problems"
Please refer to my HP which involves relevant maps
http://my.reset.jp/~adachihayao/indexE.htm?lang=en
On September 1st, I discussed in this column on the problem of river management between India and Nepal. Yesterday, September 14, Republic of Nepal prime minister. He expressed his strong will to talk with the unequal treaty between India and Nepal, to the press. In contrast, water resources minister Saif Uddin Soz of India told to the press that the Koshi treaty exists between the two countries has nothing the problem and he is listning to Prachanda.
Koshi river is flowing into India's Bihar State and the Ganges River. The upstream catchment area is 69,300 sq km, originating at high-emitting Everest, the Chinese territory is 29,400 sq km, Nepal is 30,700 square km, Indiatterritory, the 9,200 sq km. Nepal high in the west to sweep Gandaki River, east of the river Mahananda extend each other. Upstream, the water-power development companies are in India, 300 MW Upper Karnali project, 402 MW Arun III project.
The river is giving Bihar state's major downstream flood damage and at the same time, fertile land to cultivate. At the border point, the average flow rate is 1,564 tons per second. on August 24, 1954, floods of the flow rate reached to 18 timesof the average, the 24,200 tons per second. (Watershed area for a small percentage of it). Koshi weir at the border, design flood discharge is 27,014 tons per second.
The problem is putting a fire this year, August 18, 2008 massive flood. Kusaha in Nepal's territory to rip the levee, including India's Bihar state, 2.7 million people are afflicted, it also displaced 2 million people are living. The biggest tragedy in the region of 150 people were left behind, muddy stream in one fell swoop accident, but this disaster to give a strong impression. Air India, Nepal had territory in the rescue activities.
Today, India's water resources minister Saif Uddin Soz says that India is Nepal in the development of new hydropower, but also consider the need to stabilize the river. Nepal's rivers could leave to private companies only or better to discuss between two governments. With same discussion in Japan, the minister raises the point whether dam or levees for floods.

India's coal red light
"India's coal red light"
Ｉｆ you have money, you can construct how much ever, power plants, but the fuel problem was substantiated. This is saying we have had long before. This is simple logic, however, developers simply used to concentrate to power plant construction. China's Electric Power Development was the example, I think I can say. China is now the supply of coal difficult situation, and the government has started its consideration of the administrative integration of coal and power generation.
India is now doing exactly this growing problem. Power Secretary Anil Razdan today's statement, which is based on a very short article on Economic Times symbolizes all that. From 2007 to 2012 before, 70,000 MW of power development is planned and out of it, 60,000 MW coal-fired power must be developed. Razdan today's brief remarks to feel the content taht he tried to fire this administrative integration between power and coal, I myself,reading.
China's coal and power to be integrated of the administration may not so hard, but India may have a lot of trouble. Prime Minister Singh's short words may not move such a country. And central to the mood of the state government had him follow me it is no guarantee. Razdan' hidden chest to try to track short-term need.
India's coal, compared to China, potentially a big problem. Japan Electric Power Research Commission said, India's coal reserves of 253.3 billion tons, 10 percent of the world as a whole. This amount is in the United States, Russia and China are followed by the world's fourth largest. Last year, 2006 to 2007 the total volume of 1.11 billion tons, of which 0.243 billion tonnes of imports. India is the importer and that is, Indonesia, Australia and South America. Power came from coal is 70 percent.
India's coal is somewhat concentrated in the eastern part of unevenly distributed. On coal mining, the Ministry of Coal is administrating independent from power, and the Coal Corporation of India CIL is controlling total production of 85 percent. Participation by the private companies, such as Tata Steel is limited mainly for power generation and private entities. Power Ministry is currently being carried out large-scale coal-fired UMPP plan, the Ministry of coal and coal supply contract is important for the 10 projects.
I have to pay attention to these issues, while some information about India's coal'd like to have an interest. Also, India's coal has a problem with the quantity and quality problem. It is important, however, also involving the Ministry of railway transportation problems.

"India, Tata, 10,000 MW development"
"India, Tata, 10,000 MW development"
India's Tata Power challenged the bid battle for bidding to sell about 6,000 MW Singapore Seneko with Japanese groups of Munnbai group and Mitsubishi group. citizenship in the new Singapore, Senoko Power, bidding to sell about 6,000 MW, with Japan's Marubeni Corp. It again printed its name in our brain. In today's article, Tata Power Chairman Mr. Ratan Tata made statement that India's economic growth is along with expanding the Tata Power in the near future.
Tata Power is the India's largest private power company. Though the current scale of Tata owned power generation facilities of 2,278 MW is still small, this largest private companies is expanding its fields to thermal power, hydropower, wind power generation, transmission services with such wide variety of businesses. Total revenues in the year is 42.3 billion Rupees. The company was founded in 1919, and has a long history.
Chairman Ratan Tata said the new power development plan is as in the following. ., The country's first large-scale thermal power project development UMPP, Mundra 4,000MW in Gujarat state has reached the financial closing of 170 billion Rupees and would be operational at the end of the September 2011. It is steadily progressing. Others are the 1050 MW thermal power of Maithon in Jharkhand State and the coastal project of 2,400 MW thermal power in Maharashtra state.
Especially noteworthy is the recent overseas expanding, including the fields of energy resources. They are the Indonesia's coal resources with PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Arutmin. Also, Tata requiring the domestic coal, Orissa state of Jharkhand state Mandakini Coal Block and Hindalco and Tubed Coal Mines Ltd.
Mr.Ratan Tata, Chairman, gives interesting figures of Tata’s observation for the cost of construction. They are the KW basis, coal-fired - 50,000 to 40,000 rupees (874 to 1,093 dollars), hydropower 60,000 to 65,000 rupees (1,312 to 1,421 dollars), nuclear from 6 to 8 Rupees (1,312 to 1,749 dollars), wind power 60,000 rupees (1,312 dollars), solar 200,000 rupees (4,372 dollars), and gas-fired 28,000 to 38,000 rupees (612 to 831 U.S. dollars). India北辺or trying to, Hydropower is relatively cheap, provably, because of large-scale water power in northern frontier.

"Indonesia's crude oil production decline"
"Indonesia's crude oil production decline"
In May 2008, President Yudhoyono of Indonesia said OPEC's withdrawal, and on September 9, at the OPEC's formal meeting, the withdrawal was confirmed. If It would increase crude oil production again, Indonesia will be able to seek to OPEC member.
Indonesian Parliament is challenging to the proposition that the country's prestige on the oil production still remain. Pertamina and representatives of foreign companies are called every day to the Parliament, and the discussions of oil production forecasts have been made. Legislator criticized the foreign companies. They are accusing the foreign companies for their oil production decrease by pointing out that the state-run company Pertamina has the 2009 production forecast to increase at 6 percent.
PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia reported this year's production forecast, 408,000 barrel per day (bpd) from the downward revision to 405,000 bpd, and the figure of 425,000 bpd last year, so with a considerable drop. Other foreign companies are all below the previous year's results, against PT Pertamina's expectation in 2009 as the year-ago results from the 118,221 bpd and 125,000 bpd increase by 6 percent and that the parliament has the sharp reaction.
The government predicts, against, this year, the 2008 production of 977,000 bpd, 950,000 bpd of production in 2009. Parliament is requesting to the government to correct this expectation of decline, but the government is resisting this request. Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry's director general of oil and gas, Ms. Evita H. Legowo is insisting that the government's goal is the development of alternative energy resources.
"Indonesia was a member of OPEC in 1962, and, in 1976, oil production was at its peak. 20 years after its 1995, crude oil production was declining started in 2005 with a net importer of crude oil. Current production is a million barrels a day below as stated before." It is said that the drop of Indonesian crude oil production symbolizes the world oil decline in the near future.
Today it is reported that OPEC will respond to a sharp drop in oil prices, by a substantial reduction of production. The six-month crude oil price movement is severe. On January 2008, the price of 70 dollars a barrel recorded to 147 dollars in July. However, reflecting the fall in world economy over the past two months, the price is falling to 105 dollar level. The future of crude oil is steep indeed. The world demand for crude oil is 86,760,000 bpd.

"India's power reform and pool market"
Just one month before, the August 11, 2008, in this column, India's power pool market was reported. "Since the government does not work hard to create a pool market, the Stock Exchange is encouraging NTPC, national thermal power corporation, NHPC and Tata to whip them to create the market platform and necessary infrastructure for the pool market.
" Today's issue; Tata Consultancy Services are leading the technical matters and forming the joint venture with NTPC, NHPC and PFC to build the platform for the national level of power exchange. The Stock Exchange is moving in control to form the joint venture.
On India's power reform, IEEJ's text, published in September 2004, briefly summarized. At the time of 2004, for the next five to 10 years, the main items to be implemented are; open access to transmission lines, promotion of interstate trade, and the formation of market power pool and liberalization of the system. The IEEJ's text emphasized on pool market that "In order to promote competition, the maintenance and development of transmission network is important."
Recently, in the Philippines WESM of pool market, the accident at the substations caused supply shortage and KWh market value went up to nearly 70 cents. It was happened to be a great confusion. Indeed, the current transmission lines in India have necessity of a network maintenance and, in addition, issue of a large loss in the system. I think, the current supply shortage in India is probably going to be pandemonium unless otherwise to improve the demand and supply gap.Today, a few important news continued.
Chief North Korea's Kim Jong-Il, may become partially paralyzed. Thailand's Prime Minister Mr.Samack was forced to resign by the Constitution court. Crude oil prices on the barrels have been moved to 102 dollars level. It was expectations the OPEC to increase production.

"Vietnam's power crisis continues"
"Vietnam's power crisis continues"
Particularly in 2004, 2005, it was a serious problem. This was caused by reservoir empty in large-scale hydropower stations, failure of coal-fired and gas-fired thermal plants and delay of new installation. At the time "Mizuho" report said that, in this situation, the Japanese government, the World Bank and other cooperation intensively implemented the measures, and that the experience will bring about good results in the near future.
But, I had gotten away from some time on Vietnam, and, again in 2008, she have become increasingly serious power shortage. On July 17, 2008, EVN's president gave an unusual apology to the people of Vietnam at the conference. He explained that the power shortage was caused by new power plant delays operation, multiple power plant accident stop, and south of the dam's water level decline; the three points. The traditional cause has not been improved. He said it would be in September.
However, today's article said that, even though the the water level of hydroelectric power stations are recovering and the peak season has passed, power in the morning and evening peak time has been still restricted. Public and corporate discontent is rising. In particular, the people accused EVN for its power failure without planning. Rolling blackouts may prevent damage to a certain extent. However, the sudden power outage happen could not be coped with.
Today's report, the potential demand may be 11,000 ~ 12,000 MW and the real output is 10,200 MW, which causes shortage of the daily, 800 ~ 1,800 MW. Therefore, in the morning peak, 9:00 to 11:00 and the evening peak, between 6 pm to 9 pm, the electricity use has been restricted. It is said, EVN's deputy general director, Dang Hoang An.
On August 15, 2006, I noted Vietnam's power structure. So has been steady growth in Vietnam, where power is messed-up? I am thinking that, when EVN powerful organization was established, it had private sector development in coming, but it was not fully digested by the Ministry of Industry and EVN to deal with it. It is mainly centered on the issue of electricity rates.
In this respect, China is also similar to the conditions. If to think inflation in economic and voice of the people, dare to raise electricity rates are not. Currently, it is KWh 4.5 per cent, the lowest level in Southeast Asia, but the IPP, while private investment is increasing, and EVN must be unique off-taker. What I think is there is the inconsistent. Also noted in my last, as follows.
"About 10 years ago, American companies were supporting the prime minister and deputy prime minister, to promote large-scale investment in power generation. However, it was collapsed because EVN can purchase only four cents per KWh. EVN still in electricity rates are low and a level of 4.5 cents. EVN is unable to get the sale agreement with IPPs without the government's perspective to raise electricity prices.However, the government is insisting that the hydroelectric power of 40 percent for the system are older, and 60 percent of the 4.5-cent cost of new power plants, and four cents more than the cost is impossible."

"Indonesia's second Crash Program"
"Indonesia's second Crash Program"
(Please refer to my website also.)
http://my.reset.jp/~adachihayao/indexE.htm?lang=en
Here is my memo dated May 2004. In 2002, the Paiton coal-fired power transmission lines and the upgrade of power facilities were not going smoothly. At the time of President Megawati, it was severe in Java-Bali system of power supply and demand.
In the end of 2003, President Megawati visited to Japan. She called on Sumitomo's president, at that time, Mr. Oka, and requested him to have for the next candidate of the leading coal-fired Tanjung Jati B's solicited input. At that time, no one knows what will happen to IPPs in Indonesia. Even though the Javanese still has many risks for power development in Indonesia, Mr.Oka responded to the president's request meeting directly. This Sumitomo's bold decision is still our mind in one's brain.
As of today, while Sumitomo is defending the silence, but Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry's director general for electricity and energy usage, Mr. J. Purwono disclosed the fact that Sumitomo will be again the lead-off the Second Crash Program, which, presently, the government is now formulating. This is the article in the Jakarta Post today.
Performing the same location, Central Java Tanjung Jati B coal-fired power plant, the size of the same with a single 660 MW, 2 machines, for a total of 1,320 MW of coal-fired are planned. It is said that the total project cost of 1.5 billion US $ and, KW 1,136 per dollar, which may reflect the recent material the slightly higher prices. PLN is to purchase with KWh per 4.3 cents, as the prospect of being written, it is somewhat cheaper.
In the article, JBIC is funding the full support. However, the Japanese side has not yet announced. This may be finalized by the end of this year. Bids for electricity sales recently may be around KWh 4 ~ 5 cents, and that the Japanese side is silent on that the electricity sales, or this may have been a bid.
Supply and demand in Indonesia has, as reported earlier, the tightrope every day. During the current Ramadan, 2 to 3 percent increase in demand. In the first of 10,000 MW coal-fired Crash Program is being made and may be delaying in rather late in 2010 to start operation.
At this stage, the Indonesian government is planning the second phase of the 10,000 MW of the Crash Program. Its contents are not yet to materialize, and they are observing the renewable energy to be pushed to the front. The project by Sumitomo Corp., the second party then, is to start operation by 2011.
