## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

- (a) & (b) : The details of State/UT-wise power demand and demand met in the country for the last three years i.e. 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 are given at  Annexure-I.  The present installed generation capacity in the country is around 384 Giga Watt (GW) which is  more  than  sufficient  to  meet  the  power  demand  in  the  country.  The  maximum  peak power demand experienced so far was around 200.6 GW on 07/07/2021.

The  States/  UTs  meet  their  respective  energy  requirement  from  various sources such as their own generation, share from Inter-State Generating Stations which also includes Central Sector Generating Stations, procuring power on bilateral basis and through Power Exchanges etc. Energy not supplied is mainly on account of constraints in the distribution network and the financial constraints of DISCOMs to procure the power.

(c) & (d) : As per the Electricity  Act,  2003,  generation  is  a  de-licensed  activity.  The power supply by a generating company including private power companies to the buyers is  as  per  the  Power  purchase  Agreements  between  them.    The  procedure  adopted  for supply of power is also as per the power purchase agreement. In case of any default in supply of power, the buyers can take action suitably against such generating companies including private power companies as per the terms and conditions stated in the power purchase agreements. Electricity Regulatory Commissions have jurisdiction to adjudicate the disputes between licensees and generating companies.
