Per capita consumption of power has increased to 883.63 kWh: Government...

The government said that the per capita consumption of electricity in the country has increased to 883.63 kWh in 2011-12.

"The per capita consumption of electricity in the country has increased from 566.69 k Wh in 2002-03 to 883.63 k Wh in 2011-12," minister of New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah said while relying to a question in Rajya Sabha.

He said that 92.7 per cent of urban households and 55.3 per cent rural households in the country were using electricity as the main source of lightening as per the 2011 census.

The minister said that his ministry is providing various renewable energy systems for decentralised generation of electricity.

"So far, 10,752 villages have been electrified using various renewable energy systems. About 2.55 lakh solar street lights, 9.93 lakh solar home lightening system, 9.39 lakh solar lanterns and 138 MW of decentralised solar power plants have been installed," Abdullah said.

He said that the government is encouraging generation of electricity from various renewable energy sources such a wind, solar, small hydro, biomass by giving various fiscal and financial incentives.

"The state governments are procuring electricity from renewable energy projects at preferential tariff. So far, 29,536 MW of renewable power capacity has been installed in the country which includes 19,933 MW from wind, 2079 MW from solar, 3746 MW from small hydro and 3776 MW from bio energy," Abdullah said.

Peak Power deficit in India dropped to 4.5 per cent due to good monsoon...

power situation in India

Good monsoon has brought some respite to the power sector as the peak power deficit for the month of July dropped to 4.5 per cent from 5.8 per cent in June.

As per the latest data by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the peak power deficit -- the shortage in electricity supply -- in the month of July when the demand was at its peak, stood at 4.5 per cent.

There was shortage to the tune of 5,745 MW in July. The total demand during the month was 1,28,461 MW and of which 1,22,716 MW was met, the CEA data showed.

Region wise updates:

North-East Region comprising Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram: deficit of a meager 0.6 per cent as compared to 9.6 per cent in June. The total power demand of the region during July was 1,984 MW, of which 1,973 MW was met.
Southern Region comprising Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka: Demand was 33,474 MW, of which 30,885 MW was met leaving a deficit of 2,589 MW or 7.7 per cent. The region reported a deficit of 3,372 MW in June.
Northern region including the national capital: Deficit of 5.8 per cent or 2,553 MW. The total demand of the region was 44,219 MW of which 41,666 MW was the supply. The peak power deficit of the region in July stood at 2,844 MW or 6.4 per cent.
Western region comprising Maharashtra, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh: situation improved from 2.5 per cent peak power deficit in June to 0.7 per cent in July.
Eastern Region comprising West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand: Demand supply situation remained the same as earlier with 2.3 per cent deficit.

Update on India’s Solar Power Capacity; crossed 970 MW…

Solar Power Generation

Power India found that India’s total solar power generation capacity has reached to around 979.4 MW.

The State-wise installed capacity is given below:-

Sl. No.	State / UT	Capacity (MW)
1.	Andhra Pradesh	21.8
2.	Chhattisgarh	4.0
3.	Delhi	2.5
4.	Gujarat	654.8
5.	Haryana	7.8
6.	Jharkhand	4.0
7.	Karnataka	9.0
8.	Madhya Pradesh	2.0
9.	Maharashtra	20.0
10.	Odisha	13.0
11.	Punjab	9.0
12.	Rajasthan	197.5
13.	Tamil Nadu	15.0
14.	Uttar Pradesh	12.0
15.	Uttarakhand	5.0
16.	West Bengal	2.0
	TOTAL	979.4

Some of the other major developments on Solar Power front under National Solar Mission are

The entire capacity of 1,100 MW of grid connected solar power has been allocated.
The sanctioned capacity for off grid applications is over 118 MW.
No direct financial assistance is provided by the government for setting up solar power projects connected to the grid. One scheme of 1000 MW has been implemented through a mechanism of bundling of solar power with thermal power from unallocated quota of the Government. For projects connected to less than 33 kV grid, a scheme of generation based incentive has been implemented under which a total of 98 MW capacity projects were allotted.
To support deployment of off grid solar applications, the Government provides capital subsidy upto 30% of the benchmark cost and / or soft loan at a rate of 5% interest.

Since launch of the JNNSM, the capacity of solar power projects has grown from 8 MW in January 2010 to over 979 MW in the country.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has a research and development scheme whereby up to 100% support is provided to research institutions in the public as well as private sector to undertake research on various aspects of solar technology including photovoltaics and the storage.

Around 33 power plants have registered PLF of more than 90% during March 2012…

Power India found that around 33 Thermal Power Stations (TPSs) with an aggregate installed capacity of around 33,332.5 MW across the country have registered a Plant Load Factor (PLF) of more that 90% during the month of March 2012.

Out of these 33 TPSs around 12 TPSs are run by Central Generating Stations (CGSs), 12 are run by State Generating Stations (SGSs) and remaining 9 are run by Private Companies.

The data of PLFs of some of the TPSs as gathered from Central Electricity Authority (CEA):

Dahanu TPS (500 MW) - 104.18% PLF
OP Jindal TPS (1,000 MW) - 102.78% PLF
Unchahar TPS (1,050 MW) - 101.18% PLF
Bhilai TPS (500 MW) - 100.18% PLF
Talcher STPS (3,000 MW) - 99.84% PLF
Ramagundem STPS (2,600 MW) - 98.85% PLF
Rihand STPS (2,000 MW) - 98.83% PLF
Kota TPS (1,240 MW) - 98.72% PLF

Power sector (Transmission Segment) Performance during FY 2011-12; gains momentum in Q4 to make up for lost ground…

Power India found that the country has managed to surpass the target for new transmission lines by 0.22% during the year 2011-12. A total of 19,847 ckm transmission lines have been laid against the target of 19,792 ckm.

While the country missed its targets for the first three quarters of the fiscal, the sector`s good performance during the fourth quarter helped overcome the shortfall and exceed the yearly target.
Only 10,995 ckm, of the proposed 13,392 ckm, of lines were laid till the end of Q3, whereas 8,852 ckm lines were added in the last quarter alone against a target of 6,400 ckm.
In terms of the achievement rate, the state sector fared much worse than its counterparts and fell short of its target by 16%. The central and private sectors exceeded their targets for the year by approximately 15% and 7.5%, respectively.
The shortfall in the state sector occurred primarily due to severe right of way (RoW) problems, delay in grant of forest clearances and filing of cases in civil courts by affected farmers.
Five states, namely -- Uttar Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala -- account for the majority of the shortfall.
Overall, 5,528 ckm of 220 KV lines, 10,931 ckm of 400 kV lines and 1,408 ckm of 765 kV lines were laid during the year.

Power Sector (Generation Segment) Performance during FY 2011-12; electricity generation surpass targets…

Power India found that the Power Sector staged a turnaround of sorts during FY 2011-12 with exceeding the capacity addition targets set by Power Ministry by nearly 17%.

This is a welcome reversal of trend in the power sector. It witnessed only 60% target achievement during FY 2010-11.

The capacity addition target for last year was pegged at 17,601 MW, which included 5,725 MW by the central sector, 4,266 MW by the states and 7,610 MW by the private sector.
With regard to the actual achievement, totaling 20,501.7 MW, the sector-wise break-up works out to be 4,770 MW for the center, 3,761.2 MW for the state sector and 11,970.5 MW for the private sector.
During the 11th five year plan, a total capacity of 54,964 MW, or 260% of the capacity added during the entire 10th plan, has been achieved in the country.
Further, 102.51% of the electricity generation target of 855 billion units (BU) was met during the year 2011-12. The electricity generated in the fourth quarter was 222.41 BU, which was 6.029 BU greater than the estimate.
The sector-wise break-up of the power generated during the last fiscal was 369.31 BU for the centre, 367.57 BU for the state sector and 139.56 BU for the private sector.
