## POWER GENERATION

†1854.  SHRIMATI KAMLA DEVI PAATLE:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

(a) whether various power plants are generating less electricity compared to its installed capacity, if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor;

(b) whether  the  working  of  the  said  plants  have  been  reviewed  by  the  Union Government, if so, the details thereof; and

(c) the corrective measures being taken by the Government to increase generating the capacity of those power plants?

## A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : Generation  of  electricity  in  a  power  plant  is  a  function  of  plant  load factor,  fuel  availability,  scheduling,  transmission  availability  etc.  During  the  current year 2016-17 (April-June), the electricity generation was 296.48 Billion Units showing a growth of 9%. However, some of the power plants have generated less electricity as compared to their targets.  The details of such plants is given at Annex.

Some of the major reasons for less electricity generation, inter-alia,  are (i)  additional  generation  capacity  at  a  faster  pace  than  the  growth  in  demand;  (ii) non-availability of additional gas; (iii) poor financial health of Discoms; and  (iv) less availability of water affecting hydro power plants etc.

(b) : Central Electricity Authority (CEA) monitors the generation from all the generating plants (above 25 MW capacity) on daily, monthly and annual basis. Such reports are also hosted on the website of CEA.

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

- (c) : The various measures being taken to increase generation are as under:
- (i) To revive and improve utilization of the stranded gas based power generation capacity in the country, Government of India has sanctioned a  scheme  supported  with  PSDF  (Power  System  Development  Fund)  for utilization  of  gas  based  power generation  capacity for the years 2015-16 and 2016-17. The scheme envisages supply of imported spot Re-Gassified Liquefied Natural  Gas  (RLNG)  to  the  stranded  gas  based  plants  as  well  as  plants receiving domestic gas, selected through a reverse e-bidding process.
- (ii) UDAY  (Ujwal DISCOM  Assurance Yojana), a scheme for the Financial turnaround  and  operational  improvements  of  Power  Distribution  Companies (DISCOMs), has been approved by the Government of India with an objective to improve the operational and financial efficiency of the State DISCOMs, which may enable them to procure power from the generators, thus increasing their Plant Load Factor.
- (iii) With "24x7 Power for All" initiative taken jointly with the State Governments, the  access  to  electricity  would  increase  and  accordingly  the  electricity demand  would also increase leading to increased utilisation of power generation.
