Preliminary Feasibility Reports (PFRs) of 162 identified Generation Performance Hydro Electric Schemes with an aggregate Installed Generation during the year 2005-06 is targeted at Capacity of 47930 MW located in 16 States of the Country 621.5 BU i.e. growth of 6% over generation target of were prepared. 586.4 BU for the previous year. RAJIV GANDHI GRAMEEN VIDYUTIKARAN YOJNA • In the current financial year during period OF RURAL ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND Apr-Feb. 2006 the actual generation was HOUSEHOLD ELECTRIFICATION 562.7 BU against 534.5 BU generated during Central Govt. has launched a new scheme “Rajiv corresponding period of previous financial year Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojna of Rural Electricity representing a growth rate of about 5.3%.

But for this, growth rate Programme (NCMP) goal for providing access to electricity would have been about 9.2%. 1 MINISTRY OF POWER • Over all PLF of thermal power stations during the period • The PLF of central generating stations has improved April ‘05 - February ‘06 in current financial year has to 81.5% during April ‘05 - February ‘06 from 80.7% been 73% against 73.8% in the corresponding period during corresponding period of previous year. of last year. Generation PLF of Thermal Stations 100,000 MW Thermal Initiative CEA has identified shelf of sites for thermal power projects To accelerate the hydro power development, 50,000 MW totaling to about 88,000 MW capacity. Further sites are hydro electric initiative was launched by Hon’ble Prime being identified through studies by CMPDI & NRSA to Minister of India on May 24, 2003. keeping in view the achieve 1000,000 MW capacity addition in the next ten huge power generation capacity requirement, Ministry years. Out of this shelf about 47,000 MW projects are of Power/CEA has proposed 1,00,000 MW environment to be taken up for implementation during 11th Plan and friendly Thermal initiative. remaining projects during 12th Plan. 2 MINISTRY OF POWER Setting up of Ultra Mega Power Projects would be compact and all systems would be optimized The Ministry of Power, Govt. of India has launched an to result in lower cost of power. Further projects would be initiative for development of five coal based Ultra Mega environment friendly adopting supercritical technology to Power Projects in India, each with a capacity of 4000 MW reduce emissions. or above. These projects will be awarded to developers on the basis of tariff based competitive bidding. A time bound action plan for preparation of project report, tie-up of various inputs/clearances, appointment of To facilitate tie-ups of inputs and clearances project consultants, preparation of RFQ/RFP have been prepared. specific Shell companies have been set up as wholly The whole process up to selection of bidder is proposed to owned subsidiaries of the Power Finance Corporation Ltd. be completed in a period of one year.
