## 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) :  As per Section 7 of the Electricity Act 2003, any generating company may  establish,  operate  and  maintain  a  generating  station  without  obtaining  a license/permission  under  this  Act,  if  it  complies  with  the  technical  standards relating  to  connectivity  with  the  grid.  However,  for  setting  up  of  Hydroelectric Power Projects, the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) are required to be submitted for concurrence of Central Electricity Authority (CEA).  Therefore, the developers both from public sector (Central Sector and State Sector) and private sector can take decision to set up new power projects based on the demand of electricity in the  country,  which  is  periodically  assessed  by  the  Central  Electricity  Authority through Electric Power Surveys.

To  meet  the  rising  demand  of  power,  as  per  18 th   Electric  Power Survey  (EPS),  the  capacity  addition  target  of  88,537  MW  from  conventional sources and 30,000 MW from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) was planned for 12 th   Five  Year  Plan.  Against  the  target  of  12 th   Five  Year  Plan,  a  capacity  of 93,535.47  MW  from  conventional  sources  and  22,763  MW  from  RES  has  been achieved till 31.01.2017.

The  generation  capacity  from  conventional  sources  totalling  to 86,769.70 MW are at different stages of construction which is expected to yield benefit by 2021-22, the details of the power projects under construction including the State of Gujarat are given at Annex.

In  addition to the above, Government of India has planned 175 GW capacity addition from RES by the year 2022.
