## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

( SHRI  R. K. SINGH )

(a) : The details of installed capacity of power generation in the Central/State/Private  sectors  and  the  percentage  of  power  being  generated  under different sources in the country, during the year 2017-18 (upto November, 2017) are furnished at Annex-I and State/UTs-wise generation is given at Annex-II.

(b) : Yes,  Madam.  Sufficient  generation  capacity  is  available  to  meet  the demand  of  electricity.  However,  some  States  are  not  able  to  meet  demand  of electricity due to intrastate transmission/distribution/financial constraints.

(c) : The  source-wise  details  of  targets  fixed  for  power  generation  with actual  quantity  of  power  generated  during  2015-16,  2016-17  and  2017-18  (upto November, 2017) including the details of power generation from coal and gas during the first half of 2017-18 as compared to the previous year is given at Annex-III.

(d) : During 2016-17, 25,530 MW power generation capacity (14,210 MW from Conventional  Sources  and  11,320  MW  from  Renewable  sources)  was  added  in  the country.  At present, there is surplus generation capacity in the country and as per the draft National Electricity Plan, the Installed generation capacity would increase to about 479 GigaWatt by 2021-22.

(e) : The  Central      Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  State Governments  by  establishing  power  plants  in  the  Central  Sector  through  Central Power  Sector  Undertakings  (CPSUs)  for  the  purpose  of  power  generation  and allocating power there from to them.  The Central Government provides assistance to the  States/UTs  through  various  schemes,  like  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Gram  Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) and Power System Development Fund (PSDF).

A  total  of  13171  MW  power  projects  has  been  planned  to  be  made operational during 2017-18, out of which total of 4765 MW power projects have been made operational in the country (upto November, 2017).

(f) : As per the Electricity Act, 2003, electricity generation is a delicensed activity and any State or generating company may establish a generating station.

However, hydro projects need Techno-economic Clearance.  Presently, 11 DPRs of Hydroelectric schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of 4439 MW are  under  examination  in  various  appraising  groups  of  Central  Electricity  Authority (CEA),  Central  Water  Commission  (CWC),  Geological  Survey  of  India   (GSI), Central Soil  and  Materials  Research  Station (CSMRS)  &  Ministry  of  Water  Resources,  River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD&GR) for accord of concurrence/appraisal by CEA. The details of the same are given at Annex-IV.
