Gas power plants Gas-based plants, are environmentally friendly unlike coal or petroleum-based feedstock like naphtha Acid rain content lower than those generated by coal-based plants Deterrent Not too popular in India − almost 70% of natural gas requirements for power plants (about 114 million tonnes) are imported Requirement met through imports are through hostile territories

Wind Power generation India is the fifth largest installed capacity of wind power at 9,587 MW Accounts for nearly 6% of installed capacity in India Additional 6,000 MW capacity will be installed by 2012 “ The oil price hike and climate change concerns have increased the demand of wind energy. The opportunity for renewal energy is immense with the increasing cost of fossil fuels and its diminishing supplies.” − Tulsi Tanti, Suzlon Energy CMD

Usage of electricity (2004) Breakup by sector

Roadblocks Transmission and distribution networks are not efficient Poor capacity utilization Most hydro and thermal power stations in India operate at 87% load factor Thermal plants face shortage of coal Nuclear power plants operate at 50% loads due to shortage of uranium In 2008, four gas-based power projects were idle for want of fuel linkage Inadequate billing, poor metering, irrational tariff structures, stolen power supply… Poor financial health of the state electricity boards and slow project implementation In the 1990s, only 55% of total electricity generated was billed and a mere 40% was actually paid for

Transmission and distribution networks are not efficient

Poor capacity utilization

Most hydro and thermal power stations in India operate at 87% load factor

Thermal plants face shortage of coal

Nuclear power plants operate at 50% loads due to shortage of uranium

In 2008, four gas-based power projects were idle for want of fuel linkage

Inadequate billing, poor metering, irrational tariff structures, stolen power supply…

Poor financial health of the state electricity boards and slow project implementation

Electricity trends in India By 2012, India will need another 60 to 70 GW of power, the demand would be 950,000 MW by 2030 For the Indian economy to grow at 9% annually, additional capacity of 60 GW must be added every five years Requires approx. US$100 billion in investment every five years Domestic sector will cross 29% by 2011-12, industrial sector will remain almost stagnant Government promise of 100% electricity to domestic users will push up consumption
