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

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : As per Section 7 of the Electricity Act 2003, any generating company may  establish,  operate  and  maintain  a  generating  station  without  obtaining  a licence/permission  under  this  Act,  if  it  complies  with  the  technical  standards relating to connectivity with the grid.  Accordingly, sanction of the Government is not required for setting up of Thermal Power Projects.  However, for setting up of hydro  electric  projects,  the  Detailed  Project  Reports  (DPRs)  are  required  to  be submitted for concurrence of Central Electricity Authority (CEA).  The details of the Hydro Electric Projects received during the last  three years and the current year (i.e. April 2012 onwards) is given at Annex-I

(b) to (d) : Nine Hydro Electric Schemes were concurred by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), received during last three years and current year (i.e. April 2012 onwards),  and  the  details  of  the  schemes  (as  on  30th  Nov.,  2015)  are  given  at Annex-II.    Seven  schemes  received  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current year (i.e. April 2012 onwards), which on examination were found to be incomplete, have been returned to the project authorities. Eleven  DPRs  are  presently  under  examination  for  concurrence  in CEA (received during last three years and current year i.e. April 2012 onwards). Details of these schemes (as on 30th Nov., 2015) are given at Annex-III.

CEA endeavours to accord concurrence as far as practicable within a period of 150 working days (excluding time taken by developer for compliance of observations of CEA/Central Water Commission/Geological Survey of India/Central Soil and Material Research Station etc.) from the date of submission of DPRs complete in all respect.
