(a) : As per 18th Electric Power Survey (EPS) report, the projected all-
India peak demand and energy requirement at the end of 12th Plan (2016-17) is
199,540 MW and 1354.874 BU respectively at power station bus-bar. To meet
this projected demand, capacity addition of 88,537 MW is required during 12th
Five Year Plan from conventional sources including thermal and hydro. In
addition, the installed capacity of grid-interactive renewable sources of power
generation is expected to be about 54,000 MW at the end of 12th Plan period.
This capacity is expected to be adequate to generate power to meet the
stipulated energy requirement (net) at the end of the current Five Year Plan
period.
