Growth of Power generation in
India since its Independence has been noteworthy making India
the third largest producer of electricity in Asia. Generating
capacity has grown manifold from 1362 MW in 1947 to 132,329
MW (as on March 31, 2007). The over all generation in India
has increased from 301 Billion Units (BUs) during 1992- 93
to 659 BUs in 2006- 07. However, the growth has not been able
to meet the demand and substantial energy & peak shortages
of 9.5% and 14.2% respectively exist.
India presently has installed capacity of 86015 MW of thermal
generation (as on March 31, 2007) constituting 65% of total
installed capacity. Coal contributes 71121 MW (54% of total
installed capacity), gas 13692 MW (10%) and diesel makes up
the remaining 1202 MW (0.9%). Nuclear constitutes another
3900 MW (2.94%).
To meet the projected demand in 2011-12, additional capacity
requirement of about 78000 MW is required to be added in the
11th Plan (2007-12). Thermal power generation is expected
to continue to dominate in the power generation scenario.
Nuclear power generation in India is also going to get a big
push with the Indian Government putting in place an ambitious
expansion program.
To meet the targets of the capacity addition, massive resources
would be required. According to the estimates of Government
of India, investments of more than 100 billion dollars would
be required in power generation in the next ten years. As
such, significant project opportunities are expected in the
power generation sector.
