28.8 GW power capacity added during March 2022 to December 2023; total installed electricity capacity of the nation stands at 428 GW: Union Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister

Posted On: 08 FEB 2024 2:50PM by PIB Delhi

The Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy has informed about the status of electricity generation in the country.

The sector-wise All India Installed Capacity of power generation, as on 31.12.2023, is given below.

Details of the sector-wise All India Installed Capacity

The State/UT and source-wise details of the Electricity Generation and percentage share of conventional sources during the year 2023-24 (up to December, 2023) is given at Annexure I.

 

The details of State/UT and source-wise Generation from Renewable Energy (RE) sources during current year 2023-24 (up to December, 2023) are given at Annexure II.

 

The generation target and electricity generation during the years 2022-23 and 2023-24 is given at Annexure-III.

 

There has been generation capacity addition of 28802 MW during the period from March, 2022 to December, 2023. The details of increase of power generation capacity in various sectors in the country during the last two year and current year up to December 2023 is given at Annexure IV.

 

Government of India has taken following steps to meet the increased demand for power in the country:

 

(i)    In order to ensure an uninterrupted power supply for the nation’s growth, the anticipated capacity addition between 2023-32 is given below:

 

(a)    26380 MW of Thermal Capacity is under construction, 11960 MW has been bid out and 19050 MW under clearances. The total anticipated Thermal capacity addition by 2031-2032 will be 93380 MW.

.

(b)     18033.5 MW of Hydro Capacity (including stalled projects) is under construction and the total anticipated Hydro capacity addition by 2031-2032 will be 42014 MW.

 

(c)    8000 MW of Nuclear Capacity is under construction and the total anticipated Nuclear capacity addition by 2031-2032 will be 12200 MW.

 

(d)     103660 MW of Renewable Energy Capacity is also currently under construction and the anticipated RE capacity addition by 2031-32 will be 322000 MW.

 

Thus, total 156073.5 MW of Capacity is under construction and the total anticipated capacity addition by 2031-2032 will be 469594 MW.

 

(ii)       1,89,052 circuit kilometer (ckm) of transmission lines, 6,88,142 MVA of Transformation capacity and 80,590 MW of Inter-Regional capacity has been added connecting the whole country into one grid running on one frequency with the capability of transferring 1,16,540 MW from one corner of the country to another. India’s grid has emerged as one of the largest unified grids in the world. Connecting the whole country into one grid has transformed the country into one unified power market. Distribution Companies can buy power at cheapest available rates from any generator in any corner of the country thereby enabling cheaper electricity tariffs for consumers

 

(iii)      India has committed to augment non fossil fuel based installed electricity generation capacity to over 500000 MW by 2030. Transmission plan for integration of 500000 MW RE capacity by 2030 is being implemented in a phased manner commensurate with RE capacity addition.

 

(iv)      Setting up of Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Parks to provide land and transmission to RE developers for installation of RE projects at large scale.

 

(v)    We have reformed the Electricity market by adding the Real Time Market (RTM), Green Day Ahead Market (GDAM), Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM), High Price Day Ahead Market (HP-DAM) in Power Exchanges. Also, DEEP Portal (Discovery of Efficient Electricity Price) for e-Bidding and e-Reverse for procurement of short-term power by DISCOMs was introduced.

 

(vi)   We have constructed Green Energy Corridors and put in place 13 Renewable Energy Management Centres. Presently Renewable Energy Capacity is 180800 MW and 103660 MW is under installation.

 

(vii)    We have made the Power Sector viable. The AT&C losses have come down from 25.72% in 2014-15 to 15.40% in 2022-23. Since implementation of LPS Rules, legacy dues of Gencos have come down from Rs. 1,39,947 crore as on 03.06.2022 to Rs. 49,451 crore as on 31.01.2024. Further, Discoms are making payments for current overdues on time.

 

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 today, February 8, 2024.
