INTRODUCTION

India has the fifth largest generation capacity and sixth largest consumer in the world accounts for 3.4 % of job energy consumption Power sector still lags the demand requirements of the country 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 Government of India took new initiatives steps to over come these problems

HISTORY ON INDIAN POWER SECTOR:

Pre-Independence Nearly 65% of power generation was done by the private sector 1947-1975: During this period the involvement of the public sector increased considerably, and SEBs (State Electricity Boards) were set up in each state as Public Sector Entities to manage and distribute power within states 1975-1991: During this period the trend of moving away from the private sector towards the public sector continued in the power industry and greater involvement from the Central government. Centralized organizations such as National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) National Power Trading Corporation(NPTC) were formed at the central level Post 1991 After the liberalization of the Indian Economy, private sector involvement started increasing in the power industry, and a rapid growth of this industry as well

MOP- MISSION 2012: POWER FOR ALL

A comprehensive and integrated strategies for power Sector development with following objectives:

Sufficient power to achieve GDP growth rate of 8% Reliable of power Quality power Optimum power cost Commercial viability of power industry Power for all

STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES:

Power Generation Strategy Transmission Strategy

Distribution strategy Regulation Strategy Conservation Strategy Communication Strategy

INDIAN POWER SECTOR

The power sector is normally divided into three sub-systems
Power Generation which is done at power plants or stations

Power Transmission which describes the process of transferring the generated power to a distribution system Power distribution which involves conveying the transmitted power to individual houses, commercial areas etc

This system need not followed always,

Generated power can directly be transmitted to Industries Industries can themselves have power generation plants

SOURCE OF POWER GENERATION

Four broad categories of power generation:
Thermal power produced through centralized thermal power plants using coal as a fuel Hydropower produced by trapping river flows via the construction of dams and hydroelectric power stations Nuclear Power Renewable sources of power such as Wind Energy, Solar Energy and Tidal Power etc.

Renewable sources of energy are the most environmentfriendly, while thermal energy often causes the large amount of pollution

THE CURRENT STATE OF POWER SECTOR IN INDIA

Total Installed capacity (%age)
State Sector 89,092.12 32% 39%

Central Sector 65,612.94

Private Sector 71,088.04 Total 2,25,793.10

29%

PLANNING COMMISSION OF INDIA In order to increase our Indian economy at 9 %, it is mandatory for

the power sector to grow at 8.1 % per annum Therefore, it becomes essential to assess the power sector by analyzing its current status, the key challenges faced by it, and its future growth drivers. The power sector consists of generation, transmission and distribution utilities and is a crucial component of Indias infrastructure The Government of India estimates said that, The nations per capita power consumption was aimed at 779 kWh in Financial year 10, which is far below than world average of over 2,782 kWh The government is focused to increase the per capita power consumption to 1,000 KWh per year by the end of 2012 through large sale power projects and rural electrification programs

11TH FIVE YEAR PLAN CAPACITY ADDITION

During 11th five year plan total capacity addition of approximately 54,000MW of which, 47 percent by the central government, 34 percent by the state government and 19 percent from the Private sector contribution

POWER GENERATION CAPACITY ADDITION

15,154 MW of thermal, 802 MW of hydro and 2000 MW of nuclear power has been envisaged

The financial year 2011-12, 20,501 MW (thermal, nuclear and hydro) was achieved (CEA) The financial year 2012-13, 17,956 MW comprising

During 11th five year plan total capacity addition of approximately 54,000 MW of which,
47 % by the central government, 34 % by the state government and 9 % from the Private sector contribution has happened

The Power sector PSUs plan to invest Rs 50,000 crores in various projects. A major part of these investments will come from internal and extra-budgetary resources of the PSU. The government will give close to Rs 10,000 crores through gross budgetary support and the remaining over Rs 40,000 crores will be contributed by Indias largest power producer, the NTPC, and the inter-State major power grid in 2013-14

Major issues
Account of inadequate / depleting conventional fuel resources Slippages in capacity addition Transmission / open access constraints Huge Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT & C) losses in the country

FUTURE ROAD MAP

Implementation of Electricity Act 2003 - Several initiatives & various regulation to Strengthen sector Mega & Ultra mega projects are revised tariff regulations for existing CGP Competitive bidding for future projects Tariff Norms for renewable energy Introduction of renewable energy certificates New transmission pricing grid code Power Market regulations Accelerated Power Development Reform Programme National Electricity Fund, etc.
