## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a) : Several initiatives have been taken in the area of capacity addition for power  generation  and  transmission  along  with  reforms  in  the  distribution  sector, which are briefly mentioned as under:

-  The  total  installed  power  generation  capacity,  including  from  renewable energy  sources,  in  the  country  as  on  28.02.2022  is  395.6  GW.  A  total  of 106.63 GW power generation capacity has been added during the last five years and current year (up to 28.02.2022), from conventional and renewable energy sources.
-  All regional grids are synchronously connected and the power transmission capacity  in  Inter  State  Transmission  Systems  (ISTS)  is  adequate  for  free flow of power in different directions resulting in 'One Nation - One Grid One Frequency'.  At present, the inter-regional transmission capacity of the National Grid is about 112,250 MW (76,300 MW added since April, 2014).
-  Government of India had launched Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY)  in  December,  2014  for  rural  electrification  works  across  the country. As reported by the States, all the inhabited un-electrified villages as  per  Census  2011,  stand  electrified  as  on  28th  April,  2018  across  the country under DDUGJY.

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

-  Pradhan  Mantri  Sahaj  Bijli  Har  Ghar  Yojana  (Saubhagya)  was  launched  in October, 2017 with the purpose of electrification of the remaining unelectrified households  in  rural  and  urban  areas.  Under  the  Saubhagya  scheme,  as  on 31.03.2021, all the States have reported 100% electrification of all the willing un-electrified  households,  identified  before  31.03.2019.    Since  the  launch  of Saubhagya  scheme,  2.817  Crore  households  were  electrified  across  the country up to 31.03.2021.
-  Government  of India has launched a Reforms-based and Results-linked 'Revamped  Distribution  Sector  Scheme'  on  20.07.2021  with  an  objective  of providing  quality,  reliable  and  affordable  power  to  consumers  through  a financially  sustainable  and  operationally  efficient  Distribution  Sector.  The scheme has an outlay of Rs.3,03,758 Crore and an estimated Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) from Central Government of Rs.97,631 Crore.

(b) : During the last five years from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2021, a total of 1,00,270 ckm of transmission lines (220 kV and above) have been added in the country. The State-wise details of transmission capacity addition and funds sanctioned/spent for transmission  schemes  (220  kV  &  above)  during  the  last  five  years  are  given  at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

(c) : Sufficient  transmission  capacity  has  been  planned  in  the  country  for evacuation of power from generating stations to the load centres including strengthening  of  existing  transmission  system.  12719  Ckm  of  Transmission  lines  and 69592 MVA of Transformation capacity have been installed against the target of 19255 Ckm and 81545 MVA respectively, for the Year 2021-22 (up to 28.02.22). In the next 3 years, it is targeted to add about 17,500 Ckm of Transmission Lines per year and 80,000 MVA of Transformation Capacity per year on all India basis.
