## THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY

(SHRI R.K. SINGH)

(a) : The Indian power sector has come a long way in past decade transforming from a power deficit to a power surplus nation. During the period from 2014-15, we have added 97501.2 MW in conventional power sector and 96282.9 MW of renewable energy capacity in the country. The details of the State/UT-wise capacity addition in conventional sector from 2014-15 to 2023-24 (till October, 2023) including Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh is given at Annexure-I. (b) : The  steady  growth  in  demand  has  contributed  to  the  growth  of  India's  power generation capacity. This increase in demand is because of two factors :-  (1) India has been one of the  world's  fastest  growing  major  economies  in  recent  years  and  (2)  2.86 Crores households have been provided  new electricity connections. To meet the demand, we have added 193794 MW generation capacity in the past nine (09) years transforming our country to power sufficiency. The State/UT-wise details regarding quantum of power generated in the country annually during the last five years and current year 2023-24(till October, 2023) is given at Annexure-II. (c): The details of under construction projects located in the states of Andhra Pradesh and  Uttarakhand  is  given  at  Annexure  III.  These  projects  will  enhance  power  supply

- capacity in the States of  Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh.
