Summary:This paper presents an efficient technique to solve the problem of generation expansion planning with a reasonable computation burden. The proposed technique is based on the decision tree approach instead of the currently used techniques of mathematical programming. New concepts based on the natural properties of the problem are developed to minimize the computation burden by making the decision tree a minimal size. The solution technique satisfies the current objectives of strategic planning and is capable of modeling the various uncertainties inherent in the problem of generation expansion planning.
