Basic needs..

1.Food

2.Clothes

3.Shelter

4.what??

“power”

Current Scenario in

India

Presently Installed: 185.5GWatt

5th largest in World

Per capita consumption:778KWh

At present 300million without

electricity!

Avg. Per capita consumption of

world:2600KWh;

6200Kwh for European Union

countries

But India:778KWh!!!

35-45% transmission loss(highest in

world!!)

Power failure, poor regulation

What Are They Thinking??

GDP at present:6.9% & expected 7.6% after this fiscal year(2012-13)

Stress given on more industry

customs duty exemption on imported fuel and lower levy on overseas funds for projects to provide relief to crisis-hit power sector.

More private investment.

India needs at least $135billion to produce 600-1200GW within next 40 years ,which is urgent.

Reduction in power tariff..

New & Upcoming

projects

ASIA’s 1st TIDAL POWER PLANT(50mw)

Solar power generation

park,having 620 MW generation

capability, started last week in

Gujrat…

India’s Largest and one of the

largests in Asia…

125 biomass power plants of almost 1300 MW power plant

30 solar power plants.

3 Nuclear power plants of 2720MW including Kudankulam.

More hydro electric power plants

Research Area1.35000 KM^2 Thar desert is

sufficient in generating 700 to

2100GW solar power .It can meet

the increasing demand of modern

India

2. India is suffering from acute

T&D loss of 35% almost. For a

standard power system it is 7-

8%.Modern technologies should

be invented.

3.More dependence on Wind

power surrounding sea area.

Efficient Energy Use

NEW projects

West Bengal Green Energy Corporation Limited (WBGECL), the state’s nodal renewable energy agency, has outlined investments worth Rs 700-750 crore over the next two to three years.(within 2012-13).

Katwa thermal power project of 1600 MW by NTPC.

1600MW power project by L&T Power.

2*600MW DVC project at Raghunathpur.

2*250MW DPL Project

2*660MW WBPDCL project at murshidabad.

CLEAN ENERGY West Bengal playing major role in Solar&

Biomass energy.10% of total power

consumption of Howrah will be from Solar

energy.

Total 28MW biomass power plant at North

dinajpur, Birbhum & Burden by pvt.
