POTENTIAL OF HYDRO AND THERMAL POWER

1503. SHRI MALLIKARJUN KHARGE:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

(a) the  details  of  the  thermal  and  hydro  power  generated  during  each  of  the last three years;

(b) the  details  of  the  quantity  of  coal  imported  and  indigenously  produced during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  likely  to  be  imported  and  domestically produced in the next three years, State-wise;

(c) whether  the  Government  has  adopted  new  hydropower  projects  in  the country; and

(d) if  so,  the  details  thereof  and  the  reasons  therefor  along  with  the  steps taken to tap the potential of hydro and thermal power generation in the country?

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 the thermal and hydro power generated during each of the last three years is given at Annexure-I.

(b) : The  quantity  of  coal  imported  by  power  plants  and  domestic  coal used by power plants is given below :

| Year    |   Imported coal (MT) |   Domestic Coal (MT) |
|---------|----------------------|----------------------|
| 2015-16 |                 80.6 |                  481 |
| 2016-17 |                 66.1 |                  495 |
| 2017-18 |                 56.4 |                  539 |

The  quantity  of  coal  likely  to  be  imported  by  power  plants  and  domestic  coal planned to be used by power plants is given below :

| Year    |   Imported coal (MT) |   Domestic Coal (MT) |
|---------|----------------------|----------------------|
| 2018-19 |                   50 |                  615 |
| 2019-20 |                   50 |                  653 |
| 2020-21 |                   50 |                  693 |

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

The  State-wise  /  utility-wise  receipt  of  imported  coal  during  last three years is at Annexure-II.

State  wise  details  of  likely      domestic  coal  production        from  the coal blocks allocated to the Power Utilities during the current year (2018-19) and in the next three years (2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22) is given as Annexure-III.

(c) : Presently, there are 38 no. of hydro projects (8637 MW) under Survey &  Investigation  in  the  country,  41  nos.  of  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPRs)  of Hydroelectric Projects with aggregate installed capacity of 26,460 MW have been concurred by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and  are  yet  to  be  taken  up  for construction  due  to  various  reasons.  These  projects  are  pending  for  want  of Environmental/Forest clearance and other related issues. Also, 7 Nos. of DPRs of Hydroelectric  Projects  with  aggregate  installed  capacity  of  1654  MW  are  under examination in various appraising groups of CEA / CWWC / GSI / CSMRS / MoWR, RD&GR.  In addition, presently 38 nos. hydro- electric projects (above 25   MW) totaling  to  Installed  capacity  of  12208.5  MW  are  under-construction  in  the country.

(d) : Government has taken following steps to tap the potential of Hydro and thermal power generation in the country.

## Thermal Power Generation:

- i. After  the  enactment  of  Electricity  Act,  2003  Thermal  Generation  has been delicensed and the power plant developers may take independent decision to set up the power plant.
- ii. Allocation of Coal Blocks to power plants.
- iii. Ministry of Coal had issued policy guidelines for grant of bridge linkage to end use plants of Central and State public sector undertakings which have  been  allocated  Coal  mines/Coal  blocks.  Based  on  the  policy guidelines  for  Bridge  Linkage  27  Nos.  Thermal  Projects  totaling  to 33,320  MW were granted bridge linkage.
- iv. A  new  and  more  transparent  coal  allocation  policy  for  power  sector, 2017  -  SHAKTI  (Scheme  for  Harnessing  and  Allocating  Koyala  (coal) Transparently in India) has been issued by Ministry of Coal in May, 2017. This  new  coal  linkage  policy  would  ensure  a  proper  mechanism  for sourcing  coal  by  the  power  plants  as  per  their  schedules  and  would ensure that all projects are supplied  coal as per their entitlement.

## Hydro Power Generation:

- i. The Government has taken several policy initiatives in the past to tap the hydro potential and to boost hydropower development in the country.
- ii. In  order  to  expedite  construction  and  commissioning  of  these  projects, various monitoring mechanisms at the level of CEA, Ministry of Power are in place.
