- Generation Capacity addition during last 2 years has been far below the targets. Target for 2007 -08 was 16,000 MW , actual aws only 9,000MW. Target for 2008-09 was 11,000 MW , actual was 3,000 MW. We are slipping in the year 2009-10 also. Anybody held responsible?
- T&D revenue losses are increasing unabated. The loss is huge. Every year Rs.50,000 crore are lost in T&D.
- Untapped potential in Small Hydropwer is 80%. Most of this is in North-east.
- Gas based power plants operate on best PLF. India has adequate gas reserves, yet the contribution of Gas based plants in total generating capacity is only 10 %
This is all about the Power Sector of India. Neglected yet exemplary,the power system of India has its myriad challenges.
