The adjusted electricity generation tariffs for power-generating organizations are scheduled to come into force on September 10, 2026.

The plans include four gas-fired power plants, expansions of two existing power plants, and 10 new renewable energy facilities. Renewable energy facilities with a total installed capacity of 245 MW are scheduled to be commissioned in 2026.
