MPS-T is MHI's first subsidiary in Thailand dedicated exclusively to power systems operations. Electricity demand is expected to increase sharply in Thailand on the back of that country's solid economic growth in recent years. In response, power plant construction projects are being planned in significant numbers. Plans call for approximately 10,000 MW power generation capacity to be newly added between 2011 and 2015. Under Thai government policy, the country's electricity market is to be further liberalized and many independent power producers (IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) A protocol for printing and managing print jobs over the Internet using HTTP.
