- (c) whether  it  is  a  fact  that  the  State  Governments/Union  Territory Administrators were unable to provide power supply round the clock to all during  the  said  period  due  to  inadequate  power  supply  from  the  Central Pool, if so, the details thereof along with the reaction of the Government thereto;
- (d) whether  the  Government  has  conducted  any  study/enquiry  in  this regard, if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor; and

## A N S W E R

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

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) to (c) : No,  Madam.  Electricity  is  a  concurrent  subject.  Supply  of power  to  various  consumers  in  a  State / UT, providing electricity connection in a State / UT are within the purview of the respective State Governments  /  state  power  utility.    The  Central  Government,  however, supplements the efforts of the State Governments by establishing power plants  and  transmission  systems  in  the  Central  Sector  through  Central Power  Sector  Undertakings  (CPSUs).    Enough  power  is  available  in  the country and, therefore, the States / UTs have been advised to purchase power through Competitive Bidding to meet the shortage, if any.

..........2.

- (e) to all in the country?

The  details  of  Demand  (Energy  requirement),  entitlement  and supply  of  power  from  Central  Generating  stations  (Schedule  from  central sector stations) during 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and during the current year (April-May,2017) are given at Annexure. States generally have not requisitioned power up to their entitlement in Central Generating Stations.

- (d) : As  per  information  given  by  the  States  /  UTs  to  the  Central Electricity  Authority,  a  few  States  are  facing  energy  shortages  despite surplus power in the country due to the following reasons:
1. Sub-transmission and distribution constraints.
2. Poor performance of state's own generating stations.
3. Poor financial condition of many state power utilities.
4. High Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses.
- (e) : The  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  ensure  adequate  power supply to the power deficit  States/UTs and to ensure power supply to all in the country, inter-alia, are:
- (i) During  the  12th  Plan  period  (2012-17),  a  capacity  addition  of  about 99,209  MW  against  the  target  of  88,537  MW  from  the  conventional sources and about 29,462 MW as against the target of 30,000 MW from renewable sources have been achieved.
- (ii) Adequate  supply  of  the  domestic  coal  to  power  plants  has  been ensured.
- (iii) During  the  12th  Plan  period  (2012-17),  1,10,370  ckm  as  against  the target  of  1,07,440  ckm  of  transmission  lines  and  3,31,214  MVA  as against  the  target  of  2,82,750  MVA  of  transformation  capacity  have been completed.
- (iv) The  Government  of  India  has  taken  an  initiative  to  prepare  State specific  Action  Plans  for  providing  24X7  Power  For  All  (PFA)  in partnership with the States. The roadmap for all the States/UTs have been finalised and is under implementation.
- (v) Two  schemes  which  were  launched  by  the  Government  of  India, namely, Deendayal Upadhyaya  Gram  Jyoti Yojana  (DDUGJY)  and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) for strengthening of subtransmission and distribution networks and for segregation of agricultural  feeders  to  give  adequate  and  reliable  supply  and  reduce line losses.
- (vi) The  Government  of  India  has  taken  several  steps  to  promote  energy conservation,  energy  efficiency  and  other  demand  side  management measures.
- (vii) The  Central  Government  notified  Ujjwal  Discom  Assurance  Yojana (UDAY) scheme for Operational & Financial Turnaround of   DISCOMs.
- (viii)   Government  of  India  has  taken  steps  for  expeditious  resolution  of issues  relating  to  Environmental and  forest clearances  for  facilitating early completion of generation and transmission projects.
