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

- (a) : Government  of  India  launched  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), in December, 2014 for strengthening the distribution systems including separation of agriculture and nonagriculture feeders, strengthening and augmentation of sub-transmission & distribution infrastructure, metering of distribution transformers/feeders/consumers and electrification of villages across the country.  As  reported  by  the  States/UTs,  all  the  inhabited  un-electrified villages as per Census, 2011 stood electrified by 28th April, 2018 across the  country  under  DDUGJY.  A  total  of  18,374  villages  were  electrified under  the  scheme.  The  scheme  stands  closed  as  on  31-03-2022.  The State/UT-wise  details  of  villages  electrified  under  DDUGJY  are  as  per
- Annexure-I.

Moreover, Pradhan  Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana -SAUBHAGYA was launched by Government of India in October, 2017 with the objective of achieving universal household electrification, by providing electricity connections to all un-electrified households in rural areas and all  poor  households  in  urban  areas  in  the  country.  Under  the  aegis  of SAUBHAGYA, a total of 2.86 crore households have been electrified. The scheme stands closed on 31.03.2022.The State-wise details of Household electrification in the Country under SAUBHAGYA are as per Annexure-II.

(b) : Presently,  the  power  system  of  the  country  is  running  as  a single synchronous grid. Hence, in case of any emergency situation in any part of the country, the power can be extended from the healthy part of the remaining  grid. Further, in case  of flood/cyclone affecting any generating station or transmission lines in any part of the country due to tower collapse / bending, Emergency Restoration System (ERS) towers are being used as a temporary measure to ensure continuous supply of power to the affected area(s) from the healthy part of the grid.

As  on  date,  total  all  India  installed  capacity  is  around  422 Gigawatt whereas all India peak demand has so far touched a maximum of  223  Gigawatt.  The  country  has  adequate  capacity  to  meet  the electricity  demand  without  any  shortage.  Details  of  state-wise  installed capacity are attached as Annexure-III.

- (c) : Ministry  of  New  and  Renewable  Energy  (MNRE)  has  taken various steps for enhancing the renewable energy capacity in the country, namely,    Grid  Connected  Rooftop  Solar  Scheme,  Central  Public  Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme Phase-II (Government Producer Scheme) for grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Projects by the Government Producers, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme 'National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules', Solar Park Scheme, PMKUSUM  scheme,  Green  Energy  Corridor  Scheme,  Biomass  Programme, Waste to Energy Programme, Biogas Programme, Research and Development (R&D) programme, and Incentive Schemes for Green Hydrogen production and Electrolyser Manufacturing.

……..3.

- (d) : UT of Ladakh has reported that the UT has 45 Megawatt and 44 Megawatt  Alchi  and  Chutuk  Hydro  Electricity  Plant  (HEP)  of  NHPC  Ltd. under operation.

Following  green  energy  projects  are  also  under  development stage in Ladakh, the details are as given below:

- i. Solar Energy  Corporation of India (SECI) Ltd. is developing 50 Megawatt  peak  (MWp)  Solar  project  at  Leh  under  Prime  Minister's Development Package (PMDP).
- ii. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation  (ONGC) Ltd. is developing geothermal energy at Puga and Changthang in Ladakh.
- iii. A 13 Gigawatt Solar Wind hybrid energy park is being developed at pang  area  of  Changthang.  SECI  and  Power  Grid  are  preparing Detailed Project Report (DPR)/ Surveys for energy Park/ transmission system respectively.
