 Power consumption of electricity in World.
 10th plan review(2002-2007).
 11th plan review(2007-2012).
 Ongoing plan (12th plan).
 13th plan.
 10th PLAN CAPACITY ADDITION TARGET-SECTOR WISE
 High Hydro Development.
 Thermal Power Development.
 Nuclear power Development.
 Merchant Power Plants.
 Decentralised Distributed Generation.
 CAPACITY ADDITION PLANNED DURING 12th
PLAN (Figures in MW)
Sector-wise Break-up of 12th plan
capacity (Figures in MW)
 In order to meet this generation
requirement, coal requirement works out to
around 842 MT.
 Coal
 Petroleum
 Nuclear energy
 Solar power
 Wind power
 Hydro power
 Biomass energy
 Biomass energy is the utilization of organic
matter present and can be utilized for various
applications:
 – Biomass can be used to produce heat and
electricity, or used in combined heat and power
(CHP) plants.
 – Biomass can also be used in combination with
fossil fuels (co-firing) to improve efficiency and
reduce the build up of combustion residues.
 – Biomass can also replace petroleum as a source
for transportation fuels.
