## PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION OF POWER

4704.  SHRI MALLIKARJUN KHARGE:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

(a) whether  per  capita  electricity  consumption  in  the  country  is  very low  in  comparison  to  almost  all  developed  and  developing  countries despite constant increase in demand;

- (b) if so, the details thereof along with the reasons therefor; and

(c) the names of the States and Union Territories of the country which have  been  electrified  completely  and  the  time  by  which  complete electrification of the whole country is proposed?

## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) & (b): Yes,  Madam.    As  reported  on  International  Energy  Agency (IEA)  website,  the  per  capita  electricity  consumption  of  some  of  the developed and developing countries for the year 2012 & 2013 is given at Annex-I  and  Annex-II  respectively.  The  per  capita  consumption  of  India, during 2012-13 and 2013-14, was 914 kWh and 957 kWh respectively.

The  low  per  capita  consumption  is  mainly  due  to  large population,  low  per  capita  income  and  less  access  to  electricity  to  a section of the population in the country.

(c) : The work of village electrification has been completed in the States/UTs of Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Sikkim.

The  un-electrified  villages  in  the  remaining  States/UTs  are targeted to be completed by May 2018.
