POWER SCENARIO
POWER or ELECTRICITY critical infrastructural component for multidimensional growth and basic human need
Reliable and quality power at competitive rates to Indian industry - important for global competition.
Clean and Green Sustainable Power – need of the day.
Energy Security
POWER SECTOR-AN OVERVIEW
Electricity - ‘Concurrent Subject’ : joint responsibility of State and Central Governments.
Bulk of transmission and distribution functions with State Utilities.
Private sector - small presence in Distribution and making entry into Transmission.
POWER SECTOR-AN OVERVIEW
Conventional Generation - blend of thermal, hydro and nuclear sources.
Coal based thermal power plants and in some regions hydro power plants - mainstay of electricity generation.
Oil, natural gas and nuclear power accounts for smaller proportion of power.
Emphasis also on non-conventional energy sources i.e. solar, wind, biogas and tidal.
Captive power plants being encouraged to supply surplus power to Grid.
NATIONAL ELECTRICITY POLICY – THE WAY FORWARD
Access to electricity for all households in next 5 years.
Availability of power on demand to be fully met by 2012
Energy shortage and peaking shortage to be overcome by providing adequate spinning reserves
Reliability and quality of power to be supplied in efficient manner .
Electricity Sector to achieve financial turnaround and commercial viability
Consumers’ interests to be accorded top priority.
NATIONAL ELECTRICITY POLICY - ENCOURAGING PRIVATE PARTICIPATION
Competition encouraged - to bring significant benefit to consumers
Guidelines for competitive bidding issued by Government in January,2005.
Role of private participation in generation, transmission and distribution to become increasingly critical in view of rapidly growing investment needs.
Central and State Governments to develop workable and successful models for public private partnership.
Special mechanisms to be created to encourage private investment in transmission sector
OPEN ACCESS IN TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
Electricity Act & National Electricity Policy mandates non-discriminatory open access in transmission and, in phases in distribution.
Respective State Regulatory Commissions to facilitative framework for open access.
Well planned and strong transmission and distribution system to ensure optimal utilization of transmission capacities
Would facilitate achieving objective of cost effective delivery of power.
Distribution reform - key to long term sustainability of the power sector.
Captive Power
Very high electricity duty imposed on captive power generation by some states.
Very high cross subsidies surcharge levied by some state. To be brought down
Fixation of reasonable tariff by State Regulatory Commission for surplus power available from CPPs.
To make available additional fuel required by CPPs
SERC’s to promote arrangements between co-generator and concerned distribution licensee for purchase of surplus power from cogeneration plants.
Major Steps of Integrated approach
Capacity Addition from Conventional fuel based plants complemented by Renewable Energy based plants to extent possible.
National Electricity Plan based on Conventional Energy Sources with priority to Hydro and Nuclear plants
Strategies/ Initiatives being taken/ required to be taken for low carbon growth i.e. Introduction of Clean Coal Technologies (Supercritical Technology, Ultra supercritical technology, IGCC),
Other measures to reduce pollution i.e. Reduction in T&D losses, R&M of Old thermal power projects, Retirement of old and small size generating units, Coal quality improvement
