INDIA – Power Sector: Emerging Developments & Critical issues 1. Introduction Large number of power projects (XI and XII five year plans) is under construction to overcome the power shortages and meet the growing energy requirements in the country. However, the sector has been encountering problems on account of inadequate / depleting conventional fuel resources, slippages in capacity addition, transmission / open access constraints and high Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT & C) losses in the country. Since the formulation of Electricity Act 2003, Government of India (GoI) has been taking several initiatives and announced various regulations to strengthen the sector. Significant GoI / regulatory initiatives in recent times have been those pertaining to Mega / Ultra Mega Power Generation projects revised tariff regulations for existing central government projects, competitive bidding for all future power generation projects, tariff norms for renewable energy / introduction of Renewable Energy Certificates, new transmission pricing grid code, power market regulations, Re – structured Accelerated Power Development Reform Programme (APDRP2), National Electricity Fund, etc. 2. Projected demand, XII plan capacity additions and projected investment • According to 17th Electric Power Survey (2007), the energy requirement in the country is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during 12th plan period reaching from 9,68,658 Giga Watt hour (Gwh) in FY 2012 to 13,92,065 Gwh by FY2017, while peak load requirement is projected to grow from 1,57,324 MW in FY2012 to 2,23,660 MW in FY 2017 at a CAGR of 7.4%. The regionwise projection in energy and peak load requirement during the period FY2012 to FY2022 is shown in Annexure II. • Ministry of Power and Central Electricity Authority (CEA) have projected a total investment requirement of Rs. 11,35,142 crore for the power sector during the 12th Plan period, which also includes investment for generation capacity addition of about…
2. India today ranks sixth in the world in total energy consumption and is although rich in coal and renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro, has very small hydrocarbon reserves. India therefore is a net importer of energy and more than 25% of her primary energy needs are met through imports[i]. The domestic energy production pattern is such that coal and oil account for 54% and 34% respectively with natural gas, hydro and nuclear contributing to the balance. Despite this there exists a large gap between the electricity demand and supply with peak national capacity deficit estimated at about 29%. To overcome this problem all available sources of energy, including nuclear power, must be optimally developed and deployed.…
India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. Impressive progress has been made in the fields of industry, agriculture, communication, transport and other sectors necessitating growing consumption of energy for developmental and economic activities. If India is to achieve the targeted growth in GDP, it would need commensurate input of energy, mainly commercial energy in the form of coal, oil, gas and electricity.…
