From the Chairperson

In the year 2007-08, many significant milestones have been achieved,
thus marking a good beginning for the 11th Plan. A capacity addition target
of 78,700 MW was set for the 11th Plan to meet the gap between demand
and supply of electricity and the expected growth of economy, as well as the
creation of a National Grid by 2012. The Implementation Strategy formulated
for the 11th Plan to provide Key Inputs for accelerated development of Power
Sector is noteworthy in terms of its multi-pronged approach to ensure timely
availability of all clearances, fuel linkages for the projects, availability
of equipment and material as well as trained manpower. With a stringent
monitoring mechanism in place, this Plan is expected to witness a mammoth capacity addition and
the creation of an All India Grid
Major achievements during the year 2007-08 have been as follows:
(i) Notification of the National Electricity Plan which serves as the road map for the overall
development of the Power Sector.
(2) Convening an International Conclave to sensitize the stakeholders about the requirement of Key
Inputs for 11th Plan, as well as to address constraints in the development of the Power Sector.
Follow up action was taken regarding development of new vendors, review of prequalification
requirements for suppliers of critical equipments to encourage entrepreneurs, timely placement
of orders for main plant and balance of plant.
(3) Integration of the Northern, Western, Eastern and North- Eastern Grid.
(4) Government’s Initiative for development of UMPPs was taken forward. Technical inputs were
provided by CEA in the bidding process and award of Sasan, Mundra and Krishnapatnam projects
to the developers.
(5) Action was initiated on development of 78 schemes totaling to 34,020 MW as a follow up of
50,000 MW Hydro-electric Initiative of the Government.
(6) Under the IGEN Programme jointly being implemented by CEA and M/s GTZ, mapping of
thermal power stations was initiated and mapping of 33 stations was completed.
(7) CEA published important documents such as “General Review 2008”, “Growth of Electricity
Sector In India” and “CO2 baseline database for the Indian Power Sector in India”.
(8) Report on Optimization of land requirement for Thermal Power Stations was brought out.
The Power Sector is at a crucial threshold of its development. The task before CEA is to adapt
itself to function in the changed environment and fulfill its commitments as laid down in the Act. I
look forward to working with you all towards steering the Power Sector to new heights.
