Power crisis: India faces a shortage of 17,000 MW

[RiazHaq]

The share of Japan has reduced in the last decade and so has the share of Russia and Germany. If you look carefully, Indian share is expanding but at a much slower rate when compared to China.

India's share of world GDP has been flat at about 2.7%....$1.8 trillion out of nearly $65 trillion in 2011.

India's share of world GDP has been flat at about 2.7%....$1.8 trillion out of nearly $65 trillion in 2011.

Again devoid of logic. India's GDP growth is much faster than the world's GDP growth rate, so India's contribution should also grow. It seems your old age is not only effecting your eyes but also your brain. Time to retire.

When I went to Kerala the powercuts were nothing. They would only last for like 5-10 mins.

Some states have it worse.

Per Capita power consumption and economic output are directly related.
India's share of world GDP has been essentially flat in the last decade. The biggest increase has been in China's share of world GDP....because China has done a great job on the energy front.

Another Paksitani riding on the back of success of in China. Concentrate on your own nation- China owes nothing to Paksitan NAND sees it as nothing more than a pawn in the regional chess game being played out. There is nothing of this "brotherly" bond we here so much about from deluded members on this site. I've never once met a Chinese who was anything more than indifferent to Paksitan and her people.

Power cuts bring Gurgaon to halt

TUHIN DUTTA : Gurgaon, Wed Jul 04 2012, 01:43 hrs

Morning traffic was brought to a standstill on Tuesday by Gurgaon residents protesting acute shortage of power and water.

The city has been battling severe power and water crisis, made worse by the delay in arrival of monsoon and the heatwave.

As per official estimates, the power demand in the city has surpassed previous records and continues to rise.

On June 28, the demand was to the tune of 1,528.33 lakh units (the highest demand for one day), against 1,127.45 lakh units on the same day last year, said Amit Kumar Agrawal, Managing Director of Dakhshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN).

To rein in the shortfall, the Nigam has announced that starting Wednesday, all industries will be given just eight hours of power. They will be supplied power from 8 am to 12 pm and 3 pm to 7 pm.

Residents, on the other hand, blame the sharp rise in demand to the mushrooming of small guesthouses in buildings meant for a single family.

“In front of my house there is a 120 sq yard area, which has been turned into living quarters for 20-odd families. The power demand will automatically shoot up,” said Anthony Cruz, a resident of DLF Phase-III.

Residents of both old and new Gurgaon claim outages stretch to as long as 16 hours a day. This, in turn, has affected the water situation in the city.

“The Basai water plant is supplying very little water, while the private water plant is almost dry. Power cuts leads to non-storage of water and residents have to buy water. We shell out Rs 800 for around 5,000 litres of water,” said Cruz.

Power cuts bring Gurgaon to halt - Indian Express

Thank you Windjammer for keeping us updated with this unprecedented ongoing diaster!!For God's sake man what are you trying to prove??!! Has any member here said power cuts are non-existent in India??!! NO! All have agreed there are some power outages. The thing is there is light at the end of this tunnel (pun intended lol!!) for Indians as, like I have said before, India will meet 100% power requirements within the decade and is investing the equivalent of the entire GDP of PAKISTAN within the next few years to bolster capacity and upgrade the power generation infrastructure.



Should we start a similar thread about Pakistani cuts? I could fill 10 pages in a heartbeat but I think I'll save it- we all know what the realities are here.

Gram Power: Yashraj Khaitan's 'smart microgrid' produces, stores renewable energy on location

Twenty-two-year-old Yashraj Khaitan finds it difficult to explain to his parents what exactly he is doing in a remote village in Rajasthan.

One year ago, as a fresh graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, Khaitan turned down a job offer from Ericsson, the world's largest maker of wireless network equipment, to start his own company.

Gram Power, the venture he founded along with a batchmate Jacob Dickinson, enables villagers to produce and store renewable energy. It helps them integrate and generate energy out of biomass, solar or wind on-site.

"Initially, there was uncertainty about this innovation. My parents told me to get some corporate experience first," says Khaitan, who was motivated to work on electrification after he experienced the power of jugaad, or local innovation, in rural India.
While on a university project to identify challenges faced by rural India, Khaitan met a grassroots innovator in a remote village in Bharatpur, who had built a vehicle out of junkyard parts to transport people.

In another village visit, he noticed that children were unable to study due to lack of electricity and had to inhale toxic fumes from kerosene lamps. This spurred the young innovators to devise their own energy solution for low-income consumers.

The Gram Power model helps rural consumers bypass conventional grid supplies and also costs less than the monthly spend on kerosene. Consumers pay Rs 75 per month under the pay-as-you-go model for standard grid connection instead of spending Rs 200 on kerosene and cell phone charging.

In May, Gram Power set up India's first 'Smart Microgrid' in a village close to Todaraisingh Mandal in Tonk district of Rajasthan, which had no connection to the state electricity grid. The startup now supplies power to around 200 people, allowing them to operate CFL bulbs, TVs, fans, buttermilk machines, radios and other common household appliances.

"Our smart grid site is the only village in the entire area that is receiving reliable ondemand power 24x7," says Khaitan. The service includes innovative metering and monitoring devices that allows people to purchase power in prepaid schemes.

If the Govt is smart, they will pay these people (not the NGOs but the people) off. Jayalalitha Amma in TN exactly that. She promised 500 crores to the villager's development and the protesters just withered away.

Bhai,

1. You have mentioned only big projects there are many many more projects.

2. Then there is hydro power projects too, for example NHPC will add 1000 MW of new power generation capacity within this year.

Following is the source as a proof:
NHPC Limited : NHPC Commissions 231 MW Chamera-III Hydroelectric Project in Himachal Pradesh | 4-Traders





NTPC awarded 6,370 MW orders in the last six months


KOLKATA: The largest Indian power generator, NTPC has awarded 6,370 mw of thermal power generation orders in the last six months and has put on track projects with total capacity of about 8,010 mw in the last 18 months.

According to the company, 9610 mw of capacity was added in the 11th Plan period thus surpassing its target of 9220 mw, 50% of which were added in the last 18 months of the Plan period.

It has also commissioned the first set of two 660 mw super critical units at Sipat. The higher efficiency of these units reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 7.5%.

Nevertheless it has already added 2160 mw in the first quarter of the current fiscal and has added 6980 mw in the last 21 months, which is almost 20% of the total capacity added in the last 35 years.

The CAPEX target has been pegged at Rs 20,995 crore in 2012-13 against corresponding target of Rs 17,400 crore in 2011-12 and of Rs 219,613 crore in the 12th Plan against corresponding target of Rs 124,244 crore in 11th Plan.

At present about 14,000 mw is under construction and the company has already signed power purchase agreements of over 40,000 mw ensuring there are enough projects for sustained growth through 12th Plan and also the start of 13th Plan.

TN new production hub for thermal power equipment



After carving a niche for itself in the global automobile production map, Tamil Nadu has emerged as a manufacturing hub for thermal power plant equipment.

The state is set to have an annual thermal sets manufacturing capacity of over 25,000 mw by 2015, while generating over 3,000 jobs in the next three years.

With proposed large coal-fired power capacity additions to address the energy deficit, the Indian government has been encouraging newer domestic manufacturing units for producing power plant equipment due to inadequate production capacity to support new thermal projects in the country. With the entry of global majors through joint ventures with domestic players for making boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) sets through greenfield units, two new entrants in the Indian market have chosen Tamil Nadu to locate their projects. The strong presence of engineering firms, including the vendors of BHEL and port connectivity in the state have lured Toshiba-JSW and BGR-Hitachi JVs to establish their projects near Chennai.

“Toshiba-JSW has set up a plant for manufacture of turbines in Chennai possibly with a view of better logistics as availability of a port facility along the coast will facilitate transportation of large turbo-generator components. Availability of strong fabrication hub in Tamil Nadu could be a factor in deciding to set up the BGR–Hitachi plant in the State,” A V Krishnan, executive director-Tiruchi Complex, BHEL told Financial Chronicle.

BHEL has ramped up its annual manufacturing capacity for thermal sets to 15,000 mw at its Tiruchirapalli complex and will add few hundred jobs during this year, while Toshiba-JSW joint venture for super-critical steam turbines and generators has recently commissioned its production unit near Chennai. The plant is to hit an annual capacity of 3,000 mw during this financial year, while the JV partners intend to ramp up the production capacity to 6,000 mw by 2015. The expansion will see creation of few hundreds of jobs in the next three years.

According to Itaru Ishibashi, managing director of Toshiba JSW Turbine and Generator Pvt, Chennai unit will be the first Toshiba production facility outside Japan to make turbines and generators for coal-fired power plants. With two ports in the city, the JV has plans to serve some markets in Asia and Africa out of Chennai facility.

BGR-Hitachi joint venture’s manufacturing units for super critical boilers and turbines are expected to commence operations at Madurantakam, about 80 km from Chennai in the next 2-3 months. The company plans an annual manufacturing capacity of 5,000 mw over the next 15-18 months. The projects are expected to generate job potential for about 2,500 people, according to a top company official.

After the entry of new players, competition has intensified in the domestic BTG market. However BHEL has indicated that the company is confident of maintaining its position in the market.

Dude , you are forgetting about 1 thing , its not about power generation capacity but utilization of that capacity.

Do you know that Today , India's installed capacity is 203000 MW , but out of this 37000 MW is lying idle due to fuel shortages , low water level in Dams , and Repair and maintenance

Normally 8-10% of capacity is idle due to maintenance , so that means that atleast 17000 MW of our production capacity is lying idle due to mainly coal shortage and lack of rain , which directly corresponds to the power deficit of 17000 MW
In 2007 , our power generation capacity was 159000 MW , and we were utilizing nearly 90% of that , but today , our capacity is 203000 MW , but we are only using 83% of it , thats becoz production of coal has not kept pace with increase in thermal power plants , and becoz of lack of rains this yr , our Dams are running low , which has affected Hydro Power production .
