## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER

(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

(a) : The  details  of  power  generation  from  Hydro,  Thermal  and  other sources and its quantity per year for the last three years and the current year 2024-25 (upto June, 2024) are given at Annexure-I.

- (b) : The  details  of  State-wise/UT-wise  Power  Supply  Position  in  the country during the year 2023-24 and current year 2024-25 (April, 2024 to June, 2024) are given at Annexure- II.

………2.

(c) & (d) : As  per  the  information  received  from  Regional  Power  Committees (RPCs), there are complementary power banking arrangements between some States for power distribution and sharing as per the details given at Annexure-III.  The  quantum  of  power  and  period  of  sharing  varies  depending upon the surplus power available with the States and their requirements.

In addition, States have also been utilizing 'Portal for Utilization of Surplus Power-    PUShP  Portal'  for  temporary  reallocation/transfer  of  surplus  power  in one State to others in need.  As on 22.07.2024, Twenty (20) numbers of States & UTs across all the regions have started using the portal and total 94 numbers of transactions have been successfully completed.

(e) : Tariff Policy provides the guiding principles for determination of tariff. The tariff to be levied by the distribution licensees to its consumers is as approved by  the  Appropriate  Commission  for  that  particular  category  of  consumer.  The State Government may also give subsidies to consumer categories. Therefore, there is no uniformity in tariff between different states.

(f) : At  present  there  is  no  proposal  to  implement  uniform  electricity  pricing throughout the country. However, Government is promoting competition through Power Exchanges.  Uniform tariff is discovered on the Power Exchange for  a specific  time  block  of  the  day.  Accordingly,  to  this  extent,  for  the  power procured  by  the  distribution  utilities  from  Power  Exchanges  the  price  of electricity remains uniform.
