Physical Investments. 11. Physical investments will help address the shortfall in infrastructure financing for the transmission subsector and will include 500 kV and 220 kV transmission lines and associated substations. In this context the Investment Plan under PDMP VII identifies physical investments throughout Viet Nam.
Physical Investments. 14. Physical investments will support IWRM principles specifically for water use efficiency, including: (i) introduction of telemetry on irrigation subprojects and rivers within the sub-basin to improve operational and hydrological data collection, contributing to the water resources information system for planning water use; (ii) modernization of the main irrigation systems comprising main, branch and sub-branch canals, focusing particularly on increasing control points for better regulation/operation of the systems and selective channel lining to improve conveyance efficiency and on-line and offline storages for flow regulation on the main system, and (iii) command area development for field distribution network which will be maintained by the WUCS. This will comprise introduction of formalized field channels which are sectioned for optimal efficiencies, distribution points, buried pipe networks and high efficiency irrigation systems to improve water use efficiency.
Physical Investments. 9. Physical investments will provide direct protection from flood and riverbank erosion risks. They include: Construction and repair of riverbank protection revetments, Construction, restoration and rehabilitation or flood embankments, and associated structures, such as gated sluiceways and regulators, and
Physical Investments. 19. GOMP intends to deliver on India’s mandate to provide universal power supply at an affordable price by 2012. Assuming increases in tariffs to bring them in line with the true cost of supply, unrestricted consumer demand for energy in MP is forecast to increase at 7.1% pa during the Eleventh Plan (2007-12). This means that approximately 17,000GWh of additional demand will be added between and now and early 2012. To serve this demand, approximately 6,000MW of additional peak generating capacity is planned for MP over the next five years.
