The Alternative Energy Development Plan 2015 (AEDP) was developed to reduce dependency on imported energy and increase alternative energy capacity from 7,279 MW in 2014 to 19,635 MW in 2036.

To meet this target, the AEDP has adopted the following principles:

Prioritize power generation from waste, biomass, and biogas;
Allocate renewable energy generation capacity according to demand and potential in regions/provinces;
Promote current low-priority solar and wind power projects at a later stage once cost becomes competitive compared with power generation from liquefied natural gas;
Change the selection process for feed-in tariff grants from first-come, first-served to competitive bidding;
Promote community energy production to reduce fossil fuel usage;
Increase the share of renewable energy consumption from the current 12% to 30% in 2036.
