## REQUIREMENT OF COAL AND GAS FOR POWER PROJECTS

†1674. SHRI GOPAL CHINNAYA SHETTY:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

- (a) the  details  of  total  requirement  of  coal  and  gas  for  each  power  project  so  far, State-wise including Maharashtra;
- (b) the quantum of coal and gas supplied during the last three years and the current year, year-wise;
- (c) whether the supply of coal and gas has been declined;
- (d) if so, the details thereof; and
- (e) the steps taken or proposed to be taken to meet the demand of coal and gas?

## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

(a) : The total requirement of coal and gas for the power plants (Coal based as well as Gas based) monitored in Central Electricity Authority (CEA), State-wise and plantwise including in Maharashtra, during 2021-22,  is given at Annexure.

(b) : The details of total coal receipt (Domestic as well as Imported coal) by coal based power plants as well as gas receipt/consumed by gas based power plants during last 3 years and the current year (Apr'21- Jun'21) are as under:

|                                                           |   2018-19 |   2019-20 |   2020-21 |   2021-22 (Apr- June) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------------|
| Total coal Receipt (Domestic + Imported) (Million Tonnes) |    643.7  |     638.7 |    596.3  |                171.7  |
| Total Gas Receipt (in MMSCMD*)                            |     30.99 |      29.5 |     30.08 |                 25.91 |

*MMSCMD: Million Metric Standard Cubic Meter per day.

(c) & (d) : The  receipt  of  coal  has  registered  a  slight  decline  during  the  last  three years.  However,  during  2020-21  the  decline  was  more  due  to  the  effect  of  COVID-19 pandemic prevailing in the country. Moreover, the share of power generation from nonfossil  fuels  (renewable  energy)  has  also  been  increasing  consistently  over  the  years resulting into reduction in share of power generation from fossil fuels and also leading to reduction in plant load factor of coal based power plants. The gas consumption by gas based power plants is almost consistent at about 30 MMSCMD.

(e) : In  order  to  address  the  issues  of  coal  supplies  to  power  sector,  an  InterMinisterial Sub Group comprising of representatives from Ministry of Power, Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Shipping, CEA, NTPC and Coal India Limited (CIL)/ Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) meet regularly to take various operational decisions  for  meeting  any  contingent  situations  relating  to  Power  Sector  including critical coal stock position in power plants.

Further, the Government has taken the following steps to help the plants to meet their requirement of coal and gas:

- (i) Government in May, 2016 allowed flexibility in utilization of domestic coal by State/Central Gencos amongst their generating stations to reduce the cost of power generation by using coal in most efficient plants as well as by saving in transportation  cost.  The  States  may  also  transfer  their  linkage  coal  to Independent  Power  Producers  (IPPs)  selected  through  bidding  process  and take equivalent power.
- (ii) Rationalization  of  linkage  sources  of  State/Central  Gencos  and  IPPs  with  a view to optimize transportation cost has been allowed.
- (iii) Government  has  introduced  a  scheme  SHAKTI  (Scheme  for  Harnessing  and Allocating Koyala (Coal) Transparently in India)-2017, to provide coal linkages to the power plants which do not have linkage.  As per amendment in Shakti Policy dated 25.03.2019, Coal linkage is also allowed for short term   sale of power in Day Ahead Market (DAM) through power exchanges or in short term through  a  transparent  bidding  process  through  Discovery  of  Efficient  Energy Price (DEEP) portal.
- (iv) Domestic gas is being allocated to the gas based power generating stations as per the availability of domestic gas in the country. Imported RLNG (Regasified Liquefied    Natural  Gas)    is  kept  under  Open  General  License  (OGL)  and  gas based  power  plants  are  free  to  import  RLNG  on  mutually  agreed  terms  and conditions.
- (v) Government has taken several steps to enhance exploration & production of natural gas in the country such as Discovered Small Field Policy, Hydrocarbon Exploration  and  Licensing  Policy,  Policy  for  Extension  of  Production  Sharing Contracts, Policy for early monetization of Coal Bed Methane etc.
