## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY (SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a) & (b) : The power supply position of State of Tamil Nadu in terms of energy during the last year i.e. 2021-22 and the current year i.e. 2022-23 (period April, 2022 to February, 2023) is given at Annexure-I.  The overall power supply position in  the  State  of  Tamil  Nadu  is  comfortable  with  only  a  negligible  gap  between energy requirement and energy supplied. Even this negligible gap between energy requirement and energy supplied is generally on account of factors, other than inadequacy  of  power  availability  in  the  country  e.g.  constraints  in  distribution network, financial constraints, commercial reasons, outages of generating units etc.

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

Electricity  being  a  concurrent  subject,  supply  and  distribution  of electricity  to  the  various  categories  of  consumers  in  a  State/UT  is  within  the purview of the respective State Government/Power Utility. Making arrangement of appropriate  quantum  of  power  from  various  sources  to  meet  the  demand  of various type of electricity consumers in any State/UT is in the jurisdiction of the concerned  State  Government/Power  Utilities.  The  Central  Government  only supplements the efforts of the State Governments by establishing power plants in Central Sector through Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) and allocating power from them to the various States / UTs.

(c) : The  details  of  the  power  generation  capacity  and  power  generated  in various States including the State of Tamil Nadu are furnished at Annexure-II.

(d) : The details regarding funds allocated and disbursed to the State of Tamil Nadu  under  Power  System  Development  Fund  (PSDF)  Scheme  during  the  last seven  years  are  furnished  as  Annexure-III.    Further,  the  Government  of  India announced  Liquidity  Infusion  Scheme  (LIS)  though  PFC  and  REC  as  a  part  of Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, to reduce the burden of Late Payment Surcharge of DISCOMs. Under LIS, the loan amount sanctioned to Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation is of Rs.30230 cr. and disbursed amount is Rs.26797.40 cr.
