The 374MW (205MW hydro, 100MW wind, 40MW thermo, 29.6MW geothermal) represent 14.1% of the country's installed capacity of 2.65GW at end-2011 that rose 1.39% from the year before.
The bulk of total installed capacity comes from hydro (62.2%, 1.65GW), followed by thermo (23.1%, 652MW), geothermal (8.21%, 218MW) and wind (5%, 133MW).
Total generation last year grew 2.77% to 9.75TWh, of which 74.1% was hydro, 13.1% geothermal, 9.57% thermo and 3.26% wind; private generation slid 5.69% to 1.51TWh. Peak demand in 2011 hit 1.55GW, up 0.65% from the year before.
Increasing private participation in the country's power sector dominated by state power company ICE has been under debate for some time. In 2010, the executive submitted a power sector framework bill to the national assembly aimed at opening up the sector.
