STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF STARRED QUESTION NO.224 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 01.12.2016 REGARDING SHARE OF HYDROPOWER IN ENERGY MIX.

*********

- (a) : The percentage of hydropower in the total installed capacity has declined from a maximum of about 51% (2,936 out of a total of 5,801 MW) in the year 1962-63 to about 14% (43,112 MW out of total 3,07,278 MW) as on 31.10.2016.

The  reasons  for  decrease  in  share  of  Hydro  Power  include larger  and  accelerated  capacity  addition  in  thermal  sector  to  meet growing  energy  demand,  long  gestation  period  of  hydro  power  projects, geological surprises, rehabilitation & resettlement issues, funds constraint in private sector projects etc.

- (b) : Presently, 44 HEPs with an aggregate capacity of 13182 MW are under construction out of which 42 HEPs with a capacity of 12966 MW have  been  delayed.  The  project  wise  details  /  reasons  for  the  delay  are given in Annex-I.

Apart from the above, 39 HEPs with an aggregate capacity of 22319 MW have been concurred by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) which  are  yet  to  be  taken  up  for  construction  due  to  various  reasons including  Environment  and  forest  clearance  and  other  related  issues  as given in Annex-II.

- (c) : Electricity is a concurrent subject. Providing affordable electricity  in  a  State  /  UT  is  within  the  purview  of  the  respective  State Government /  State  Power  Utility.  The  Central  Government  supplements the  efforts  of  the  State  Governments  by  establishing  power  plants  and transmission systems in the Central Sector through Central Power Sector Undertakings (CPSUs).

The following steps have been taken to assist the States/UTs to provide adequate power to States/UTs:

- (i) During the 12th Plan period (2012-17), a capacity addition of about 88928.2  MW  against  the  target  of  88537  MW  from  conventional sources have been achieved till 31st October, 2016 and about 21,128 MW against the target of 30000 MW from renewable sources have been achieved till 30th  September, 2016.
- (ii) Due  to  large  generation  capacity  addition,  the  electricity  energy shortage in the country has reduced to 0.7% during the current year 2016-17 (upto October, 2016) from 8.7% during the year 2012-13.

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

- (iii) Adequate  supply  of  the  domestic  coal  to  power  plants  has  been ensured.  The  growth  of  domestic  coal  supply  to  power  plants  has been around 6.2% during 2015-16.
- (iv) During  the  12 th   Plan  period  (2012-17),  1,00,468  ckm  against  the target  of  1,07,440  ckm  of  transmission  lines  and  2,88,458  MVA against the target of 2,82,750 MVA of transformation capacity have been completed till 31st  October, 2016.
- (v) 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.
- (vi) Two new schemes have been launched by the Government of India, namely,  Deendayal  Upadhyaya  Gram  Jyoti  Yojana  (DDUGJY)  and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) for strengthening of sub-transmission  and  distribution  networks  and  for  segregation  of agricultural feeders to give adequate and reliable supply and reduce line losses.
- (vii) Central  Government  has  notified  Ujjwal  Discom  Assurance  Yojana (UDAY) scheme on 20.11.2015 for Operational & Financial Turnaround of  DISCOMs.
- (viii) Government  of  India  has  launched  a  scheme  by  providing  support from Power System Development Fund (PSDF) for operationalisation of stranded gas based generation.
