y The increasing prices of oil, gas and coal in the international markets have againunderscored the importance and desirability of development of hydro power inIndia.

y According to the Central Electricity Authority, the hydro power generation potential,based on already identified sites, is close to 150,000 MW. The actual installedcapacity, at about 28,500 MW, is less than one-fifth of this potential. Even with the14,000 MW under construction, the enormous hydro potential remains sorelyunderutilized.

y To be sure, the government has developed some very ambitious plans andinitiatives. In 2003, the then prime minister announced an initiative to achieve50,000 MW of new capacity. The Eleventh Plan calls for addition of 21,000 MW ofhydro power. The Twelfth Plan calls for another 24,000 MW of hydro capacityaddition.

y These are not easy targets to achieve. Hydro projects can prove to be especially

difficult to implement in a time-bound fashion. There are issues relating to localgovernment concerns, environmental impact and communityrelocation/rehabilitation that are often beyond the control of the project developer.

y In the Tenth Plan, for example, the target for hydro capacity addition was over12,000 MW. The capacity added so far is only about 5,000 MW. Under the best-case scenario, we may achieve just over 9,000 MW. This is despite considerableimprovement in the performance of the central public sector units and the entry ofprivate players.

Hydropower is renewable, environmental friendly and

enable incidental benefits of development in remote and

inaccessible areas.

Hydroelectric projects ideally suited for meeting the

peaking demand and improving the system reliability.

Multipurpose projects help in utilisation of water resources

for irrigation, flood moderation, navigation & drinking

water.

o Ranking studies by CEA - about 400 sites involving installed

capacity of more than one lakh MW are to be developed

o Based on the ranking studies the schemes have been categorised

in A. B & C categories as per their techno-economic viability

o Region-wise and basin-wise categorisation of schemes is as

follows :

II. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF

HYDROPOWER

Basic Reasons:

o Environmental issues such as afforestation and rehabilitation

& resettlement of Project Affected People (PAP)

o Geological surprises during construction

o Landslides, hill slope collapses, road blocks, natural

calamities like floods, etc.

o Law & Order Problems

o Interstate disputes

o Hydro potential developed so far in the country is only about

25% of the total potential of the country

o The remaining sites generally located in inaccessible locations.

o Hydro potential development in these areas would involve

huge expenditure on infrastructure development fortransportation of equipment

POLICY INTERVENTIONS

o To accelerate development, power sector was opened up

for larger participation by private entrepreneurs in 1991

o Thereafter, Government of India also announced hydropolicy in 1998

o The salient features of Hydro Policy are as follows:

1. Additional budgetary support for hydro projects under central PSUs

2. Basin-wise development of hydro potential.

Contd

3. Advance action for capacity addition in the 10th Plan and beyond

4. Emphasis on survey and investigations.

5. Quick resolution of inter-state projects

6. Renovation, Modernisation and uprating of existing hydro stations

7. Promoting small and mini hydel projects.

8. Simplified procedures for transfer of clearances.

9. Rationalisation of hydro tariff by allowing premium on sale rateduring peak period

10. Realistic estimates of completion cost.

Contd

11. Promoting hydel projects with joint ventures.

12. Government support for land acquisition, resettlement and

rehabilitation, catchment area development.

o Govt. of India also launched 50,000 MW hydroelectric

initiative

o In spite of above initiatives, hydropower development

has been slow perhaps due to longer gestation period

o To reduce the gestation period proactive role of

management at the planning stage of project is of

paramount importance
