Today’s energy challengesPresent Scenario in India
• Demand for energy has risen steadily in the past decade.
• Electricity consumption is rising even faster, and is set to increase about 76 percent between 2007 and 2030 under current policies and trends (IEA estimate).
• India has set an ambitious target of generating 78,700 MW by 2012.
• Need of the hour is maximum utilization of installed capacity( Average PLF in thermal power stations for power utilities has gone up by around 12% for the period 1999-2010)
