  2. Indian Power Sector • Power in Concurrent List : • Both Central & State Governments have jurisdiction • Power Sector in States • Vertically integrated State Electricity Boards (being restructured) • Central Public Sector Undertakings • Own 30% of the capacity

  3. Power Infrastructure in India(May ‘03) • Generating Capacity Hydro 27,010 MW Thermal 76,607 MW Nuclear 2,720 MW Wind 1,870 MW 108,207 MW * * In addition Captive capacity of about 25,000 MW Contd...

  4. Power Infrastructure in India(May ‘03) Cont... • Sectorwise Installed Capacity Central 32,816 MW State 63,291 MW Private 12,100 MW 108,207 MW

  5. Power Supply position in the country

  6. The target ahead • Power development - projections for next ten years : • Target to add more than 100,000 MW by year 2012 • • 41,000 MW planned by 2007 Peak requirement in (MW) Energy requirement in (BUs) (act.)

  7. Hydro development : Rationale Fuel Mix Years

  8. Hydro - A good power source • Clean power • Cost effective option in the long term • Meets peaking requirements • Development of underdeveloped areas • Optimum use - Drinking water, Power and Irrigation

  9. Hydro development in the country Act Tar. • Plans based on five year period block • At present 10th five year Plan : 2002-07 (actuals in MW) Plans (end Mar’.) (‘74) (‘79) (‘85) (‘90) (‘97) (‘02) (‘07) (‘12) VI to IX Five Year Plans - 13,666 MW (20 years) X Five Year Plan - 14,393 MW Contd...
