(b) whether the existing power plants are likely to be able to meet the power demand;

(c) if so, the details thereof; and

(d) the total power generating capacity of the existing power plants at present, State-wise?

Answer given by the minister

THE MINISTER OF POWER ( SHRI ANANT G. GEETE )


(a) to (d) : A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.


STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 258 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 05.12.2002 REGARDING DEMAND OF POWER IN COUNTRY.

(a) to (d) : Based on the projection made in the 16th Electric Power Survey by the Central Electricity Authority, all India energy requirement by the year 2005 is estimated to be 635065 Million Unit and the corresponding peak load would be 102160.8 MW. The corresponding figure for the State of Gujarat are 54970 Million Unit and 9470 MW, respectively. The State-wise details are given at Annex-I. The all India Installed Generating Capacity is 106266.90 MW (as on 31.10.2002). The State-wise details are given at Annex-II.

A capacity addition of around 41,110 MW has been targeted for 10th Five Year Plan. An additional capacity of 3000 MW is expected to come from renewables. Emphasis has been laid on higher capacity addition from Public Sector during the 10th Plan. Planning Commission has allocated an outlay of Rs 1,43,399 crore for 10th Plan which is about 214% more than the Ninth Plan outlay. All identified projects for the 10th Plan are monitored and reviewed at periodic intervals in the Ministry of Power.

In addition to the benefits from new generating capacity, the power supply position is expected to improve through :-

? Undertaking energy conservation measures for which the Energy Conservation Act has been enacted and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency constituted. There is a potential of approximately 25% savings through Energy Conservation.

? Reducing technical losses in distribution. The Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) is designed for the attainment of this objective.

? Undertaking Renovation and Modernisation (R&M) of existing power stations which combined with improved Operation and Maintenance practices would lead to higher availability and generation.

? Export of power from surplus to deficit region through the gradual development of a National Grid to optimize utilization of generating capacity on an all India basis.
