STATEMENT
Statement referred to in reply to parts (a),(b),(c),(d)& (e) of the Lok Sabha
Starred Question No. 339 for 27.04.201210 regarding Small Hydro Power Projects
by Shrimati Deepa Dasmunsi and Shri Nityananda Pradhan
(a): India has an estimated potential of about 19,750 MW of Small Hydro
Power (SHP) projects. So far, 897 SHP projects with an aggregate capacity
of 3395 MW have been setup and 349 projects aggregating to 1315 MW are under
implementation. State-wise details of SHP potential, projects installed and
under implementation are given at Table-1. Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy ensures performance testing of all the plants for their functionality.
The Ministry has not received any complaints about non-functionality of the
plants.
(b): Setting up of small hydro projects comes under the purview of State
Governments. Potential sites are either developed by the state or allotted
to private developers for setting up of projects. During the 11th Plan, a
capacity of 1419 MW was added against 536 MW during the 10th Plan. A
capacity addition of 2100 MW from SHP projects has been planned during
the 12th Five Year Plan.
(c): Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is providing Central Financial
Assistance (CFA) to set up small / micro hydro projects both in public and
private sectors. Financial support is also given to the State Government
for identification of new potential sites including survey and preparation
of DPRs, and renovation and modernization of old SHP projects. It also helps
the State Governments in formulating their policies for the development of
small hydro projects and exploitation of this potential.
(d): India has adequate capabilities of setting up small hydro projects.
The Government has not sought assistance from any developed country to set
up small hydro projects.
(e): Does not arise.
