The gross electricity generation in the country during
the financial year 2011-12 was 876.9 Billion Units (BUs) which exceeded the
generation target of 855 BU. Against the
capacity addition target of 17,716 MW in 2011-12, 20502 MW capacity
was added in the year, which is nearly equal to the capacity addition during
the entire 10th Plan (2007-2012).
Further, during the 11th Plan 54,964 MW capacity was added, which is
approximately 2.6 times the capacity addition of 21,180 MW during the 10th
Plan.
There has been delay in according environment &
forest clearance for a number of captive coal blocks allotted to thermal power
plants. Seventeen (17) thermal power projects proposed for commissioning during
12th Plan are awaiting environment & forest clearance for the captive coal
blocks. Three (3) Thermal Power Projects
under construction have been delayed due to delay in environmental clearance.
Twenty five (25) Hydro-Electric Projects have been accorded concurrence by CEA
but are awaiting environment and / or forest clearance. State-wise details of
projects are given below:-

In addition, construction of two hydroelectric projects
in Uttarakhand namely LohariNagpala
HE Project (4x 150 MW) and Sri Nagar HE Project ( 4 x
82.5 MW) has been discontinued / delayed due to environmental concerns.
The Government has decided to switch
over from the existing Useful Heat Value (UHV) based grading and pricing system
of coal to Gross Calorific Value (GCV) based classification of non-coking coal
with effect from 1st January, 2012. Initially, the price of coal in the GCV
system was finalized by CIL on the basis of per Million Kilo calorie heat value
by providing various discounts on ex-unloaded port price of imported coal
resulting in increase of price. However, based on the feedback received from
various coal consumers, coal pricing has been revised and reviewed by CIL,
taking into account the weighted average price of the band. However, the Power
Utilities are of the view that even after the price roll back by CIL, there is
significant increase in coal prices, which will impact price of electricity.
This information was given by the Minister of
State for Power Shri K.C.Venugopal in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
