Thermal power projects for 12th Plan have clearances: Central Electricity Authority

All the thermal power projects planned for the 12th Plan Period have requisite clearances and are at the advanced stages of construction, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has said. 

The capacity addition targets for 2012-17 do not include the projects - with a total capacity of 32,000 MW - that are stranded due to environmental issues, CEA added. 

The government is planning to add about 1,00,000 MW capacity by 2017. 

CEA, the techno-economic clearance body, in a letter to the Power Ministry last month, has said that the projects for the 12th Plan (2007-2012) have all the requisite clearances including coal linkages and orders for main plant equipment, and are under construction. 

All the 12th plan projects for which orders have been placed, have confirmed coal linkages, it added. 

"In respect of projects beyond this time-frame, CEA has already issued an advisory that in case of domestic-coal-based plants, orders may be placed such that the boilers are suitable for blending up to 30 per cent in view of coal shortage," the letter said. 

According to CEA, about 32,000 MW of thermal power capacity which have either been shelved or put on hold do not form part of the capacity addition in the plan period. 

"These projects (totalling to 32,000 MW) are not included in the list of 12th plan projects," it said. 

Of the 11 projects, totalling 16,500 MW capacity, which have been put on hold, nine are yet to receive environment clearances, as per CEA data. 

These projects are in Bihar, Orissa and Tamil Nadu. Of the remaining 11 projects, with the total capacity of 15,500 MW, which have been shelved, nine are in Andhra Pradesh and one each in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
