Introduction…
India is world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of
global energy consumption.
The installed power generation capacity of India stood at 1,63,669.80
MW, while the per capita power consumption stood at 704.2 kWH.
The country's annual power production increased from about 190 billion
kWH in 1986 to an ambitious target of 830 billion kWH in 2010.
Out of the total demand 64.4% is met by Thermal power plants, 24.7% by
Hydroelectric power plants, 2.9% is met by Nuclear and 7.7% by
Renewable sources of energy.
The T&D losses are hovering around 25 to 30% which causes the supply
of electricity continues to face severe shortage of over 11%.

A total of 20,700 MW of new inter-regional links have been planned for the
11th Five Year Plan (2007-12). Thus total inter-regional transmission
capacity of National Power Grid is foreseen to be 37,150 MW by 2011-12.
The Ministry of Power plans to establish an integrated National Power Grid
in the country by 2012 with close to 2,00,000 MW generation capacities and
37,150MW of inter-regional power transfer capacity.
There are three market-driven models for expanding transmission networks:
1. Merchant transmission facilities.
2. Rights to future congestion revenues.
3. Participant-funded projects.

In the country from 2,708 ckm in 1950 to more than 2,25,720 ckm of
transmission lines by 1995 and 4,17,500 ckm by 2010 are some of the
indicators of the progress.
It rationalized the tariff structure of the bulk power supply. This order
split the monolithic pricing system into three parts.
I. Fixed charges or capacity charges.
II. Variable charges or Energy charges.
III. Unscheduled Interchange (UI) charges.

DISTRIBUTION SECTOR
REVIEW
Power Distribition is the final & most critical link
in the value chain as it directly effects the
consumers.
Includes more than 6.9 million ckms of lines and
about 286,210 MVA of distribution transformer
capacity.
Connected load growing at about 9% each year to
351,000 MW.

Sales mix in Mkwh
AREAS OF CONCERN
High AT&C losses(12-68%)
Poor metering and billing efficiency.
Power thefts.
STEPS TAKEN
APDRP & R-APDRP.
RGGVY.
Encouraging Private participation.

Government encouraging Solar energy investments..
• The ministry is providing various incentives and duty concessions for
both manufacturers and users of solar products for eg. :
• To help in running of solar projects, there is a subsidy of Rs 12/Kwh
• Capital subsidy available in case of semiconductor based units
• Provisions for Accelerated depreciation available for solar
manufacturers
• NIL excise duty for manufacturers
• Low import tariff for several raw materials and components
• Soft loans to users, intermediaries and manufacturers
• State governments such as Punjab, Haryana are also pursuing solar
energy development aggressively with good response from industry
Wind Energy
India is fourth largest producer of wind energy
with capacity of 10,925MW
Tamilnadu ,maharashtra and karnataka are
leaders in wind capacity
Government is currently investment Rs 25000
billion.
CDM
(Clean Development
Mechanism)
Why CDM came into picture
Primary objective
-> Global warming
Secondary objective
