2.1     Introduction

The National Electricity Policy notified by the Govt. of India lays down the following major objectives:-

i)        Every House shall have access to Electricity within next 5 years.
ii)       Demand shall have to be fully met by 2022.  Energy and peaking shortages to be overcome and adequate spinning reserve (at least 5%) to be ensured.
iii)      Per capita electricity consumption over 1000 units by 2022 to be ensured
iv)      Minimum consumption of 1 unit per household per day as a merit good by year  
            2022.

Capacity addition in 11th (2017-22) plan period has to fulfill the above said aims and objectives.

For past three years, gross capacity addition in India are as follows :-

2015-16                                               :           5177 MW
2016-17                                               :           5093 MW
2017-18 (upto 31.12.2017)                 :           6485MW    

As on 31.12.2017, region wise and fuel wise break-up of All-India Installed Capacity is shown below :-

But in All-India context, there is a huge mismatch between planned target and actual capacity addition as evidenced by the following bar graph for the period of 2017-18.  This puts further pressure on the need for capacity additions in the foreseeable future to bridge the gap between demand and supply.                                                                                                                            

                       
          Graph - 1
Target  & Achievement  (in MW) for 2017 -18
(up to 31.12.2017)

The restricted Cumulative Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in Electrical Energy Consumption (EEC) as recorded in the country for the past few years ranges between 3% to 5%. The growth rate of EEC as forecast in the 17th Electric Power Survey (EPS) is about 10% for the period till the end of 11th plan as against the actual growth rate of less than 5% during 9Th  and initial years of 10th  plan. The projected CAGR figures of EEC for Western Region and Chhattisgarh are about 8.44% and 11.83% respectively against the actual figures of about 2.54% and 0.46% respectively attained during 2014-15.

The present scenario has thus forced Govt. of India to lay special emphasis on accelerated rate of capacity addition and also maintaining cost of energy within reasonable limit.

The proposed project of 1200 MW coal based TPP in Chhattisgarh fits in well in the present demand-supply scenario.

2.2     All-India Power Scenario

Annexure-2.1 shows the “Actual Supply Position” of energy and peak demand of the country for the period April 2007 to December 2017. The review of statistics reveals that there is an energy shortage to the tune of 8.4% and shortage in peak demand to the tune of 14.8%.  Some western and northern states which experience higher level of shortage are :-


The peak demand shortage on all-India basis for this period was nearly
15831 MW.  It may be noted that the peak demand as mentioned is only
restricted demand and the unrestricted demand is much higher.
According to 17 the EPS, estimated energy requirement (in GWh) and peak
demand (in MW) worked out to 968,659 GWh and 152,746 MW respectively in
2011-12.

Graph-2 represents All-India energy requirement figures both as per the 16
The & 17 th EPS as follows :
 Estimated for years 1999-2000 to 2004-05 as per 16th EPS
 Actual for the years 1999-2000 to 2004-05 as per 17th EPS
 Estimated for the years 2004-05 to 2011-12 as per 17th EPS

From the figures representing estimated energy requirement pattern from the
year 1999-00 to 2004-05 as per 16th EPS and actual values for the same time
period as per 17th EPS, it is noted that there is a continuous increase in
shortfall of energy from the projected values.  This is attributable to lack of
capacity additions during this period.  Thus an immediate requirement of
4290 3 GWh energy is noted in the year of 2004-05 according to 17th  EPS.

To meet the above said projected values capacity addition to the tune of 78,577
MW has been targeted till the end of 11th plan.  Yearwise break-up of capacity
addition programme during 11th plan is as follows :

2.3              Power Scenario of Western Region

For the purpose of power planning and operation of regional grid the western

region consists of the following states :

Gujarat
 Madhya Pradesh
 Chhattisgarh
Maharashtra
Goa
Dadra & Nagar Haveli (UT)
Daman & Diu (UT)

All three sectors namely Central, State & Private contribute to the power
generation capability in the region.  There are two nuclear stations in the
region, one at Tarapur in Maharashtra and the other at Kakrapar in Gujarat.
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), the central sector
constructs, operates and maintains transmission and transformation facilities
for inter-state and inter-region transfer of power.  The power generating
capability in the region is predominantly thermal.        

The details of the installed capacity in western region as on 31.12.2007 are
given in Annexure-2.2.  Energy deficit to the tune of (-)24818 MU and peak
demand deficit of 8573 MW had been recorded during the period of April
2007 to December 2007 in Western Region (Ref. Annexure-2.1).  According
to 17th EPS report for western region, in the year 2011-12 the electrical
energy consumption, electrical energy requirement and annual peak
electrical load are estimated to become 191%, 172% and 204% respectively of
the corresponding values in 2003-04 as depicted in Graph-4.                                               

Cumulative annual growth rate figures both actual and projected are shown
in the following table :-          

To meet the projected CAGR values a steady capacity addition is required
throughout the 11th plan period.

2.5       Justification of the Project

The station being planned for implementation by the project authority would
enjoy the following favourable features :-

1.         Huge deficiency in power availability in the National as well as State
Grid thus permitting operation of the station at high plant load factor of
more than 80%.

2.         Availability of basic inputs at a reasonable price.
These include availability of clear landmass, availability of power grade coal in the
region and availability of water from Mahanadi on year-round basis.
Besides, the area is endowed with favourable infrastructure in terms of
availability of housing, market, educational centres, health care, road
and rail access, telecommunication facilities etc.

3.         Financial and commercial incentives are available for mega projects
(more than 1000 MW station size).  

4.         As per M.O.U., signed between the Government of Chhattisgarh and
JEL, CSEB will have right over 37.5% of power produced from this
project.

5.         Balance power could be sold through a single point of Power Trading
Corporation (PTC) which would ensure easy and quick realization for
the energy sold.

6.         Cost of energy is expected to be low from the proposed station which
will again ensure good marketability in tariff based regime expected to
be enforced in foreseeable future.

7.         Power projects are cost-intensive and have large generation periods.
These are big constraints in quick capacity additions.  Thus the present
power demand-supply deficit scenario in expected to continue in the
foreseeable future.  This will ensure ready availability of market for the
power produced from the project and its sale with reasonable profit.
It is needless to mention that over past few years, there is a rising trend in the
power cost which is attributable to market forces, cross subsidy loaded on
this sector and rise in the cost of raw materials.  Thus tariff based power
procurement policy has been given priority in the recent policy of GOI.
Induction of Electricity Act 2003 has also provided the necessary impetus for
power generation both in utility and non-utility sectors.


2.6              Fuel Availability Scenario

For thermal power plants, the basic fuels are coal, oil and gas.  The reserves
of oil and natural gas are limited in India and would last for next 30 to 45
years at the current level of production.  It may be noted that oil and gas will
have priority for use of these hydrocarbons as feedstock for refinery and
petrochemicals.  Whereas in comparison proven coal reserves are sufficient
to carry well through the 21 century at the current level of production.

With hard coal reserves around 206 billion tonnes of which 75 billion tonnes
are proven, Indian coal offers a unique fuel source to domestic energy
market.  Hard coal deposit spread over 27 major coal fields are mainly
confined to eastern and south-central parts of the country, MCL/SECL
coalfields are spreads in these parts of the country.  Annexure-2.4 exhibits
inventory of Coal Reserves in India.
