Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Government is aware that the higher rates per unit of electricity are charged by the private power generating units in the country;

## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

- (a) & (b) : Power Generating companies supply electricity to distribution licensees on tariff which is fixed by the CERC/SERCs under Sections 62 and 63 of the Electricity Act, 2003 respectively. No power generating company is allowed to charge from distribution licensees tariff higher than that determined or adopted by the  Commission,  as  the  case  may  be.  In  Power  Exchanges,  tariff  is  discovered competitively.
- (c) & (d) : Government of India have taken the following steps to reduce the cost of power generation and resultant reduction in cost of electricity to consumers by use of domestic coal:
- (i) Government  have  allowed  flexibility in utilization of  domestic  coal  by State/Central  Gencos  amongst  their  generating  stations  to  reduce  the  cost  of power generation by allocating more coal to their most efficient plants as well as by saving in transportation cost. The States may also transfer their linkage coal to IPPs selected through bidding process and take equivalent power.

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

- (ii) Rationalization of linkage sources of State/Central Gencos and IPPs with a view to optimize transportation cost has been carried out.

(iii) Government  has  introduced  the  SHAKTI  (Scheme  for  Harnessing  and Allocating  Koyala  (Coal)  Transparently  in  India)-2017  Scheme  to  provide  coal linkages  to  the  power  plants  which  do  not  have  linkage,  thus  helping  the generators to get coal.

(iv) A national level Merit Order Despatch System has been put in place for Inter State  Generating Stations under  which electricity  from  more  efficient/lower  cost plant  are  dispatched  first.  This  has  led  to  a  saving  of  around  Rs.1200  crore  per year.
