THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, NEW & RENEWABLE  ENERGY  AND THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

( SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

(a) & (b):  As per reassessment studies of hydroelectric potential carried out  by  the  Central  Electricity  Authority  (CEA)  in  the  country  during  the year  1978-87,  the  assessed  hydro  power  potential  (above  25  MW)  is 1,45,320  MW.  The  state-wise  details  of  potential  and  its  status  of development are enclosed at Annexure-I.

…………2.

Recently,  to  promote  Hydro  Power  Sector,  Government  has approved the following measures:

- Declaring  Large  Hydro  Power  (LHPs)  (>  25  MW  projects)  as
1. Renewable Energy source;
2. Hydro Purchase Obligation (HPO) as a separate entity within Nonsolar Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO);
3. Tariff  rationalization  measures  for  bringing  down  hydro  power tariff in initial years;
4. Budgetary  Support  for  Flood  Moderation/Storage  Hydro  Electric Projects (HEPs);
5. Budgetary Support to Cost of Enabling Infrastructure, i.e. roads/bridges etc.
- (c) : During last three years (i.e. 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19) and the  current  year  2019-20  (upto  June),  improvement  /  modernisation  of  7 schemes  (3  schemes  in  Central  Sector  and  4  schemes  in  State  Sector) with  an  aggregate  installed  capacity  of  about  1914.4  MW  have  been completed and achieved a benefit of 116.8 MW through Life Extension. The state  -  wise  list  of  these  hydro  Renovation  &  Modernisation  (R&M) schemes are given at Annexure-II.
- (d) : 104 Hydro Electric Projects (HEPs) with installed capacity (IC) of 38,751 MW have been allotted to the Private Sector for development by various States. Out of these, 91 HEPs with installed capacity of 36,269 MW have not taken off for construction.  Details of these 91 HEPs with reasons for delay are given at Annexure-III.
