SHRI ASADUDDIN OWAISI Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:- (a) whether the foundation stone of National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) project at Chatra in Jharkhand was laid in 1999 but was cleared after 12 years; (b)if so, the reasons therefor along with the funds raised by NTPC for the said project; (c) the status of clearance from various sectors for the said project and the losses suffered by NTPC due to delay in such clearance; and (d) the steps being taken by the Government to adopt a mechanism for early clearance for power projects in the country to meet the increasing demand for power? MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER (SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA) (a) Yes, Madam. (b) The foundation stone of NTPC`s 3x660 MW Super Thermal Power Project at North Karanpura, District Chatra in Jharkhand state was laid in March 1999. After obtaining various Statutory Clearances such as land, water, forest & environment and coal linkage accorded by Ministry of Coal in December, 2000 from Magadh mines, NTPC had gone ahead with project development activities such as land acquisition and other infrastructure work at the site finalized jointly in 2003 by Coal India Ltd (CIL), Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Limited (CMPDIL), Central Coal Fields Limited (CCL). Substantial progress in the project was achieved and NIT (Notice Inviting Tender) for main plant equipments was issued in September, 2007. When NTPC was about to seek investment approval of the project from its Board under Navratna powers (delegated by GOI), Ministry of Coal raised the issue of site relocation of the project and withdrew the coal linkage in 2008, due to which investment approval could not be processed further by NTPC and all project activities were stalled. Several meetings were held between Ministry of Coal and Ministry of Power at the highest level to resolve the issue, which was finally referred to Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI) by Ministry of Coal. CCI mandated the Group of Ministers (GOM) for their recommendation on the project. The GOM appointed a Committee under Member Energy, Planning Commission to consider the issues involved and submit its recommendations. Based on the report of this Committee GOM recommended the plant to be set up at the proposed site by NTPC with safeguards and restoration of the original coal linkage. However, the decision was put up for reconsideration of the Cabinet by Ministry of Coal. Meanwhile, Ministry of Power moved a note for Cabinet Committee on Investment for restoration of coal linkage to the project and implementation of the decision of the GOM. The project has since been cleared by Cabinet Committee on Investment in its meeting held on February 20, 2013 which has decided that in line with the decision of GOM, plant will be constructed by NTPC at the present site subject to certain safeguards. The Committee has also decided in-principle to restore the original coal linkage granted to the project. Restoration of coal linkage is awaited. The delay in clearance of the project is due to the issue of site relocation raised by Ministry of Coal. As regards raising of funds by NTPC for the said project, 1st tranche loan agreement for Japanese Yen 15.9 billion (approx. Rs.800 crores) was signed with Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) in March 2005. However, there was no drawl of loan and on 6th January 2011, DEA, Ministry of Finance conveyed termination of loan agreement. (c) All statutory clearances such as NOC from Airports Authority of India, clearance from DVC for project in their command area, Defence clearance; MoEF clearance and State Government clearance for providing water from Garhi Dam have been obtained for the project earlier. There is no financial loss to NTPC on account of the delay in such clearances.
(d) As per electricity act 2003, setting up of a power plant has been delicensed.

SCINDIA) (a) The details of the hydro-electric projects (HEPs) (above 25 MW) under operation and under construction in the Himalayan States are enclosed at Annex-I & Annex-II respectively. (b) All Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) issues pertaining to Project Affected Persons (PAPs) in respect of Hydro and Thermal Power Projects are proactively addressed during land acquisition and project construction stage itself. A Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) is formulated through extensive consultations process involving PAPs, Heads of Panchayats of the affected villages, people`s representatives and the Local Administration. The RAP, thus prepared on a consensual basis is then approved for implementation. The duration of RAP implementation varies from project to project and this normally is completed by the time project implementation is completed. However, despite the best efforts, if some R&R issues are left or they crop up after the completion of the project, they are properly addressed in due course of time. The information regarding R&R issues pending in respect of various Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) under Ministry of Power and Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) is as under: (i) NEEPCO: R&R of project affected families (PAFs) in respect of two under construction projects is being implemented through State Governments against fund provided by NEEPCO. (ii) BBMB: Of the 7206 PAFs from Bhakra Dam Project, 48 oustees are to be provided proprietary rights, which is being pursued by Deputy Commissioner (R&R), Hissar.

GENERATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY 21st March, 2013 LSQ 3979 SHRI KIRTI (JHA) AZAD Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:- (a) the details of the conditions laid down for generation of renewable energy as per the provisions of the Electricity Act,2003; (b) whether a number of States have failed to fulfill the said conditions; (c) if so, the details thereof, State-wise; (d) whether the Union Government has allowed the States to get the renewable energy certificates from private companies for meeting the condition of mandatory purchase of renewable energy;and (e) if so, the details thereof? MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER (SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA) (a) Electricity Act, 2003 has provided for promotion of efficient and environmentally benign policies and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. Section 86(1) (e) of the Electricity Act, 2003, provides the functions of State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) inter alia, to:`(e) promote cogeneration and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution licence;` Further, the Tariff Policy notified by the Central Government under the Electricity Act, 2003 on 06.01.2006, inter alia, provides that the Appropriate Commission shall fix minimum percentage for purchase of electricity from renewable sources taking into account availability of such resources in the region and its impact on retail tariffs. The Act and Policy do not apply any restriction on procurement of power by an obligated entity in excess of the minimum Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) fixed by the Appropriate Commission. A statement indicating the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) target set by the various SERCs, as per the information available with the Forum of Regulators (FOR) Secretariat, is at Annex-I.
(b) & (c) Compliance of RPO is monitored by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs)/ Joint Electricity Regulatory Commissions (JERCs). (d) & (e) Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Mechanism is a market based mechanism which seeks to address the mismatch between availability of RE sources and the requirement of the obligated entities to meet their RPO. It is also expected to encourage the RE capacity addition in the States where there is potential for RE generation as the REC framework seeks to create a national level market for such generators to recover their cost. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has notified CERC (Terms and Conditions for recognition and issuance of Renewable Energy Certificate for Renewable Energy Generation) Regulations, 2010 in fulfillment of its mandate to promote renewable sources of energy and development of market in electricity. Salient features of the Regulations are enclosed as Annex-II.

ANNEX-II
ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTs (d) & (e) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3979 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 21.03.2013. Salient Features of REC framework # Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism is a market based instrument to promote renewable energy and facilitate renewable purchase obligations (RPO). # REC mechanism is aimed at addressing the mismatch between availability of RE resources in state and the requirement of the obligated entities to meet the renewable purchase obligation (RPO). # Cost of electricity generation from renewable energy sources is classified as cost of electricity generation equivalent to conventional energy sources and the cost for environmental attributes. # RE generators have two options i) either to sell the renewable energy at preferential tariff or ii) to sell electricity generation and environmental attributes associated with RE generations separately. # The environmental attributes can be exchanged in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (REC). # REC is issued to the RE generators for 1 MWh of electricity injected into the grid from renewable energy sources. # REC is issued to RE generators only. # REC is purchased by the obligated entities to meet their RPO under section 86 (1) (e) of the Act.

However, actual hydel generation was less as compared to the target in some hydro power projects. The details of such hydro power projects are given at Annex. (c) & (d) : The performance of hydro-electric projects are evaluated by assessing their average operating availability, forced and planned outages and the actual production of power vis-à-vis the targets fixed for various Hydro Stations. Review of performance of Hydro Power Stations is brought out by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) incorporating all above information. In addition to above the reservoir levels of Major Storage based schemes is also monitored regularly by CEA. (f) : The generation from hydro power station depends on the inflow due to rainfall in the catchment area and snowmelt (Himalayan Rivers) and the available storages. The generation will be generally less if there is shortfall in rainfall in catchment area. Any shortage in hydro generation is compensated by increasing generation from thermal power stations.

POWER GENERATION CAPACITY 29th August, 2013
LSQ 3162 SHRI NAMA NAGESWARA RAO Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:- (a) whether the Government has any data regarding the power generation capacity and the volume of power produced by the national energy producers in the country; (b) if so, the details thereof; (c) whether the under utilisation of power generation capacity of energy producers is a major concern; and (d) if so, the reasons therefor and the steps taken by the Government in this regard? THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) & (b): The monitored capacity of central sector generation stations as on 31.07.2013 was 68,496.93 MW. Actual gross electricity generation by these plants during 2013-14 (up to 31st July, 2013) was approximately 1,19,776 Million Unit. (c) & (d): The utilization of installed capacity of a generating unit of power producers is linked to the type of power station. While the thermal units are meant to be utilized continuously as base-load units, hydro units are to be utilized both as base or peak load, depending on availability of water/reservoir level. Thus, utilization of installed capacity is effectively applicable to thermal (including nuclear) generating units and is expressed in terms of Plant Load Factor (PLF). The PLF of thermal and nuclear units mainly depends on a number of factors such as age of the units, outages for repairs (forced) and planned maintenance, availability of quantity and quality of fuel and receipt of schedule from beneficiaries, etc. Availability of water for hydel power generation influences the performance of hydro power stations. Therefore, unlike PLF for thermal stations, availability of hydel power station is used to assess the performance of that station. Reasons for their performance below their generating capacity include inadequate availability of coal and gas, supply of coal having quality at variance with designed coal, long duration forced outages, closure of the plant on account of taking up Renovation & Modernization, Life Extension and uprating works, problem of silt, etc. The remedial steps taken by the Government are : (i) Pursuing with Coal India Limited for adequate quantity and quality of coal including for third party sampling of coal quality. (ii) Pursuing with the States for scheduled procurement of power. (iii) Pursuing with power stations for lesser forced outage. (iv) Expediting renovation, modernization and life extension of old and inefficient generation units. (v) To meet the shortfall in coal supplies to thermal power stations from indigenous sources, the power utilities have been advised to import coal. (vi) Regular reviews are held at various levels including Ministry of Power, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Ministry of Coal, Planning Commission and Cabinet Secretariat to identify the constraint areas and facilitate faster resolution of inter-ministerial and other outstanding issues. For the State Sector generating units review is also held at various levels of the respective State Utilities. (vii) De-silting of hydro stations caused by heavy rains.
POWER PROJECTS IN BIHAR 29th August, 2013 LSQ 3165 SHRI VISHWA MOHAN KUMAR Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:- (a) the number of power projects sanctioned in Bihar and the number of hydro power and thermal power projects out of them, separately; and (b) the time by which electricity is likely to be generated from these power projects along with the provision of coal supply for the thermal power projects? THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) & (b) : At present no hydro project (above 25 MW) is under construction in the State of Bihar. After enactment of the Electricity Act, 2003, concurrence of Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is not required for setting up of new thermal power projects. However, the details of thermal power projects which are presently under construction in Bihar along with their capacity, anticipated commissioning date and provision of coal supply is given at Annex.

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) & (b) : The details of hydro power projects targeted for commissioning during the 12th Five Year Plan period along with their capacity, location, their estimated cost, expenditure, commissioning schedule, project-wise are given at Annex-I. The details of commissioned and under construction thermal power projects targeted during the 12th Five Year Plan period along with their capacity, location, their estimated cost, expenditure, commissioning schedule, project-wise are given at Annex-II A and Annex-II B, respectively. The details of under construction nuclear power projects for likely benefits during the 12th Five Year Plan period along with their capacity, location, commissioning schedule, project-wise are given at Annex-III. (b) & (d) :As per the Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR) for 2013-14, the peak demand in the country during the year 2013-14 is likely to be 1,44,225 MW. The peak availability during 2013-14 is estimated to be 1,40,964 MW from existing power projects as well as power projects likely to yield benefits during 2013-14. The peak power shortage is likely to be 2.3% (3,261 MW) during 2013-14. ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) & (b) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3177 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA
