History of Electricity in India

The first demonstration of electric light was in

Calcutta conducted on 24 July 1879, which later

became Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation.

Mumbai saw electric lighting demonstration for the

first time in 1882 at Crawford Market, and Bombay

Electric Supply & Tramways Company (B.E.S.T.) set

up a generating station in 1905 to provide

electricity for the tramway.

ELECTRICITY IN INDIAN SCENARIO

The electricity sector in India had an installed

capacity of 228.722 GW as of September 2013,theworld's fifth largest.

Non Renewable Power Plants constitute 87.55% ofthe installed capacity

Renewable Power Plants constitute the remaining12.45% of total installed Capacity

India generated 855 BU electricity during 201112fiscal.

In terms of fuel

Coal-fired plants account for 57% Renewal hydropower accounts for 19%

Renewable energy for 12%

Natural gas for about 9%

Nuclear power for about 3%

The International Energy Agency estimates India

will add between 600 GW to 1200 GW of additional

new power generation capacity before 2050.

Problems in India with Power SectorIndia's electricity sector faces many issues. Some are:

Government giveaways such as free electricity for farmers, partly to currypolitical favour, have depleted the cash reserves of state-run electricity-distribution system. This has financially crippled the distribution network,and its ability to pay for power to meet the demand. This situation has beenworsened by government departments of India that do not pay their bills.

Shortages of fuel: despite abundant reserves of coal, India is facing a severeshortage of coal. The country isn't producing enough to feed its powerplants. Some plants do not have reserve coal supplies to last a day ofoperations. India's monopoly coal producer, state-controlled Coal India, isconstrained by primitive mining techniques and is rife with theft and

corruption; Coal India has consistently missed production targets andgrowth targets. Poor coal transport infrastructure has worsened theseproblems. To expand its coal production capacity, Coal India needs to minenew deposits. However, most of India's coal lies under protected forests ordesignated tribal lands. Any mining activity or land acquisition forinfrastructure in these coal-rich areas of India, has been rife with politicaldemonstrations, social activism and public interest litigations.

Problems in India with Power Sector

Poor pipeline connectivity and infrastructure to harness

India's abundant coal bed methane and shale gas potential.

The giant new offshore natural gas field has delivered less fuelthan projected. India faces a shortage of natural gas.

Hydroelectric power projects in India's mountainous northand northeast regions have been slowed down by ecological,environmental and rehabilitation controversies, coupled with

public interest litigations.

India's nuclear power generation potential has been stymiedby political activism since the Fukushima disaster in Japan.

Problems in India with Power Sector Average transmission, distribution and consumer-level losses

exceeding 30% which includes auxiliary power consumption

of thermal power stations, etc.

Over 300 million people in India have no access to electricity.Of those who do, almost all find electricity supplyintermittent and unreliable.

Lack of clean and reliable energy sources such as electricity is,in part, causing about 800 million people in India to continueusing traditional biomass energy sourcesnamely fuel wood,

agricultural waste and livestock dungfor cooking and otherdomestic needs.Traditional fuel combustion is the primarysource of indoor air pollution in India, causes between300,000 to 400,000 deaths per year and other chronic healthissues.


15/16

Problems in India with Power Sector

Indias coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-fired thermalpower plants are inefficient and offer significantpotential for greenhouse gas (CO2) emission reduction

through better technology. Compared to the averageemissions from coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-firedthermal power plants in European Union (EU-27)countries, Indias thermal power plants emit 50% to

120% more CO2per kWh produced.

The July 2012 blackout, affecting the north of thecountry, was the largest power grid failure in history by

number of people affected.
