STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 407 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 24.08.2004 REGARDING DEFICIENCY IN POWER GENERATION CAPACITY.

(a) to (c) : State-wise electricity generation target vis-a-vis actual generation for the last three years i.e. 2001-02 to 2003-04 is given in Annexure.

(d) : Electricity being a concurrent subject, supply and distribution of electricity in a State is the responsibility of the State Government/State Power Utility concerned which decides the priorities of power supply to various categories of consumers/areas in the State. Government of India supplements the efforts of the State Governments by setting up power plants through Central Public Sector Undertakings in Central Sector with allocation to the States depending upon their entitlement. The following steps are being taken to improve the generation and availability of power in the country:


(i) A capacity addition of 41,110 MW has been targeted for 10th Five Year Plan consisting of 22,832 MW in Central Sector, 11,157 MW in State Sector and 7,121 MW in Private Sector.


(ii) Early stabilization of newly commissioned units and overall increase in Plant Load Factor (PLF) of thermal units.


(iii) Creation of a robust National Grid for optimum utilization of generation capacity and inter-regional transmission of power.


(iv) To bring about reforms in distribution, Government of India has implemented the Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) for upgradation of sub-transmission system in States as a major step towards reduction of aggregate transmission and commercial losses and attaining commercial viability of the power sector. Funds are being provided to States for undertaking schemes for upgradation of sub-transmission and distribution systems under the APDRP.


(v) Comprehensive programme of extensive rural electrification.


(vi) Demand side management, energy efficiency and conservation measures.


(vii) Disbursement of loans with interest subsidy by the Power Finance Corporation for renovation and modernization of old and inefficient generating units.


(viii) Exploitation of hydro potential and development of thermal capacity at a faster pace.
