(a) the total installed capacity of electricity generation in the country;

(b) whether this is enough for the growing population in the country and if so, the details thereof;

(c) whether there is difference between States in consumption pattern of power and if so, the details thereof;

(d) the  details  of  installed  capacity  of  Renewable  Power  Plants  and  NonRenewable Power Plants in the country; and

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

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : The  total  installed  capacity  of  electricity  generation  in  the  country, including Renewable Energy Sources (RES), as on 31.03.2016 is 3,01,965 MW.

(b) : Yes,  Madam.    During  the  12 th   Five  Year  Plan,  a  capacity  addition  of 88,537 MW was planned from conventional sources which was sufficient to meet the demand of electricity by the terminal year of 12 th  Five Year Plan as per 18 th  Electric Power Survey.  With Government initiative, about 85,000 MW i.e. 96% of the target has already been commissioned in 4 years of the 12 th  Five Year Plan period which would meet the growing demand of electricity.

(c) : State-wise power consumption for the years 2012-13, 2013-14 & 201415 is given at Annex-I.

(d) : The  details  of  installed  capacity  of  Renewable  power  and  NonRenewable power plants in the country is given at Annex-II.

(e)  :                    No,  Madam.    Government  has  rather  an  aggressive  programme to add Renewable power capacity of 1,75,000 MW by the year 2021-22.
