RAJYA SABHA


CAPACITY UTILIZATION OF POWER PLANTS

1693. SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR: Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state: (a) whether Government has reviewed the capacity utilization of power plants in Karnataka and other parts of the country; (b) if so, the details and the outcome thereof; and (c) the action Government proposes to take to ensure that the power plants achieve their full capacity utilization?

A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) to (c) : The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) under the Central Government periodically inter-alia monitors the capacity utilization of power plants of the country including for Karnataka. The performance of power plants in Karnataka and other parts of the country depend upon many factors like forced and planned outages, technological obsolescence of some of the vintage units, schedule from beneficiary states, transmission constraints and availability and quality of fuel for thermal plants and availability of water for hydel power plants.

Based on the review, some of the generating stations with low performance are considered for R&M work and life Extension from time to time by respective power utilities.

The action plan to ensure that the power plants achieve their full capacity

utilization are as under:

1. Better availability of coal and gas to power sector.

2. Adopting better Operation & Maintenance practices by power plants.

3. Renovation and Modernization of existing old Thermal and hydro power plants by respective power utilities.

The salient features of the CERC REC Regulations are at Annex-I. The CERC has also issued regulations for determination tariffs for different RE technologies. (c) & (d): The CERC REC Regulations supplement the efforts of States Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERCs)/ Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERCs) in terms of issuing their State specific REC Regulations recognizing the REC issued under the CERC REC Regulations as a valid instrument for fulfillment of renewable purchase obligation by the obligated entities in their States. Twenty Eight States have issued State specific REC Regulations. The list of such States is enclosed as Annex-II.

ANNEX-I

ANNEX REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) & (b) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 1700 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE RAJYA SABHA ON 12.03.2013.

***********

Salient features of the REC framework are as under:- Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism is a market based instrument to

promote renewable energy and facilitate meeting the renewable purchase obligations (RPO).

REC mechanism is aimed at addressing the mismatch between availability of RE resources in State and the requirement of the obligated entities to meet the renewable purchase obligation.

RE generators have two options (i) either to sell the renewable energy at preferential tariff or (ii) to sell electricity generation and environmental attributes associated with RE generations separately.

The environmental attributes can be exchanged in the form of REC.

REC is issued to the RE generators for 1 MWh of electricity injected into the grid from renewable energy sources.

REC is purchased by the obligated entities to meet their RPO under section 86 (1) (e) of the Act. Purchase of REC would be deemed as purchase of RE for RPO compliance.

Grid connected RE Technologies approved by MNRE are eligible under this scheme.

Central Agency carries out functions of registration, issuance of RECs, repository, and other functions for implementation of REC framework at national level.

Only accredited project can register for REC at Central Agency.

REC is exchanged only in the CERC approved power exchanges.

REC is exchanged within the forbearance price and floor price determined by CERC.

INCREASE IN POWER TARIFFS BY STATE ELECTRICITY BOARDS

1704. SHRI SANJAY RAUT: Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state: (a) whether State Electricity Boards (SEBs) across the country are increasing power tariffs regularly; (b) the impact of hike in power tariff on the consumers; (c) whether the Ministry has asked States to reduce the transmission losses; and (d) if so, the details of aggregate transmission and commercial (AT&C) losses?

A N S W E R

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) & (b) : The Electricity Act, 2003 has entrusted the responsibility of tariff fixation on the Electricity Regulatory Commissions and it empowers the State/Joint Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs/JERCs) to fix tariffs for consumers. In this regard, SERCs / JERCs notify the Terms and Conditions of tariff fixation from time to time. Section 61 of the Act provides for guiding principles which the Appropriate Commission is required to consider for specifying the terms and conditions of tariff. Any person aggrieved by an order made by the Appropriate Commission under this Act may prefer an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity. (c): Electricity is a concurrent subject and the responsibility of sub-transmission and distribution segment and reduction of Aggregate Transmission and Commercial (AT&C) losses in distribution network rest with the State Government and Power Departments/Utilities. Government of India acts as a facilitator in supplementing the efforts of States to provide power to consumers in an improved manner. However, with the aim to reduce the AT&C losses in the country and to improve the power distribution sector of state utilities, Government of India has launched the Restructured-Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) during 11th Plan period. Projects under the scheme are taken up in two parts in towns having population more than 30,000 (10,000 for special category States) as per census 2001. Part-A of the scheme is for establishing IT enabled system for energy accounting / auditing and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for big cities (population:4 lacs and Annual Energy Input: 350MU) whereas Part-B is for up-gradation, augmentation & strengthening of electrical infrastructure in project towns. So far, under R-APDRP, projects worth Rs.32323.70 crores (Part-A: Rs 6638.79 crores covering 1402 towns and 63 SCADA projects in 63 towns; Part-B: Rs. 25684.91 crores in 1132 towns) have been sanctioned.

(d): Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) Losses for the States and UTs, for the year 2008-09, 2009-10 & 2010-11 as per the Power Finance Corporation’s Report on Performance of State Power Utilities for the year 2008-09 to 2010-11are given at Annex.

RAJYA SABHA


SPEEDY DISPOSAL OF POWER THEFT CASES

1705. SHRI DHIRAJ PRASAD SAHU: Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state: (a) whether power theft is a major impediment in the growth of power sector in the country; (b) if so, the number of cases of power theft registered during the last three years; (c) whether any special courts have been set up for speedy disposal of power theft cases; and (d) if so, the details thereof ?

A N S W E R THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF POWER ( SHRI JYOTIRADITYA M. SCINDIA ) (a) : Bringing down the Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses in the

distribution segment of the power sector remains one of the important challenges before the

distribution companies. AT&C loss has two major components viz., technical loss and

commercial loss. Theft of electricity contributes to commercial loss and results in loss of revenue

to the distribution companies as the billable units of distribution companies go down due to theft

of electricity which puts an avoidable burden on the paying consumers.

(b) : Based on available information, the number of cases in power theft registered is at

Annex-I.

(c) & (d) : Special Courts have been constituted by the State Government in 27 States, the

list of which is at Annex-II.
