It will be seen that the demand has gone up by 50.8 percent in energy terms from 2013-14 to 2022-23.  The peak demand has gone up from 136 GW in 2013-14 to 243 GW in September, 2023.  We have been able to meet the increase in demand because we added 194 GW of capacity between 2014 to 2023.

We also added 1,92,000 circuit kms of transmission line during the same period, connecting the whole country into one grid and one national market. We have introduced new products in the Exchange for Renewable Energy such as the Green Day Ahead Market and the Green Term Ahead Market.

We have one of the fastest Renewable Energy Capacities in the world and have emerged as the most favoured destination for investment in Renewables in the world.  We have constructed Green Energy Corridors and put in place 13 Renewable Energy Management Centres.  Today our Renewable Energy Capacity is 178,000 MW and 99,000 MW is under installation.

We have made the power sector viable.  The AT&C losses have come down from 22.62% in 2013-14 to 16.42% in 2021-22.  All current payment of Gencos is up-to-date and the legacy dues of Gencos have come down from Rs. 1.35 lakh crore to Rs. 6000 Crore.  The subsidy payment to DISCOMS on account of subsidies announced by State Government are up-to-date.

In order to reduce the AT&C losses the Government of India implemented the following steps:

1. Provided funds under DDUGJY and IPDS to install meter on unmetered connections; and installed covered wire in loss prone areas to make theft difficult;
2. Put in place energy accounting and energy audit system;
3. Revised prudential norms to ensure that no loans are given by REC/PFC to DISCOMs which are making losses, unless they draw up a plan to reduce the losses, get their State Government approval on it and file it with the Government of India; and follow up on these steps;
4. Put in place a merit order despatched system to ensure that cheaper power is despatched first;
5. Reduced the late payment surcharge to reduce the burden on the DISCOMs;
6. Put in place rules to ensure that if the Genco is not paid for the power supplied, the areas of the defaulting DISCOMs is automatically cut off;
7. Put in place an incentive of an additional borrowing space of 0.5% of GDP if the DISCOMs puts in place loss reduction measures;
8. Provided that no funds will be given under RDSS to loss making DISCOMs unless they put in place measures to reduce their losses; and
9. Put in place Rules to ensure that the tariff is up-to-date.

As a result of the above measures, the power sector has become viable and profitable.

This information has been given by the Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy Shri R. K. Singh, in a written reply to a question, in Lok Sabha on December 7, 2023.
