Also  for  year  2031-32,  5-hour Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity of 51.55 GW is also projected.

- (c) to (e) : The  Ministry  of  Power  (MoP)  notified  the  Electricity  (Late  Payment Surcharge  and  Related  Matters)  Rules,  2022  (LPS  Rules,  2022)  on  03.06.2022 under  which  all  the  dues  of  generating  companies  prior  to  03.06.2022  were considered  as  Legacy  Overdues  and  Distribution  Companies  (DISCOMs)  were given an option to pay such dues in Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) with 1 st EMI was due on 05.08.2022.

Thirteen  (13)  States  reported  overdues  and  opted  for  EMI  options under  LPS  rules  with  total  outstanding  amounting  to  Rs.1,38,428  cr.  as  on 03.06.2022.  After  payment  of  Eight  (8)  EMIs  as  well  as  pre-payment  by  some Discom total  amount  of  Rs.47,317  cr.  outstanding  amount  have  reduced  to  Rs. 91,111 cr.

Electricity is a concurrent subject. Therefore, the State has to plan to meet its the power demand. However, the Central Government assists the States by allocating power from Central Generating Stations. As on 28.02.2023, 1545.6 MW of power from Central Sector Generating Stations has been allocated to the State of Jharkhand.
