As per the 18th Electric Power Survey Report, Peak Demand of 199,540 MW and Energy Requirement of 1,354,874 BU has been estimated at the end of Twelfth Five Year Plan i.e 2016-17.
At the end of 11th Five year Plan i.e 2011-12 the country was facing Peak Shortage of 13815 MW (10.6 %) & Energy Shortage of 79313 MU (8.5 %)
Several measures have been initiated by the Government to accelerate the pace of power generation capacity addition. These are as follows:
- Augmentation of manufacturing capacity of BHEL from 10,000 MW in December, 2007 to 20,000 MW by 2012.
- Formation of several new joint ventures to manufacture super-critical boilers and turbine-generators for thermal power plants.
- Periodic review of issues related to supply of power equipment from BHEL by a group under the chairmanship of Secretary (Heavy Industry).
- Sensitization of stake holders to enlarge the vendor base to meet Balance of Plants requirements.
- Rigorous monitoring of projects at different levels including by Ministry of Power, Central Electricity Authority, Power Projects Monitoring Panel and Advisory Group under the chairmanship of Minister of Power.
- Introduction of web-based monitoring system
