India’s average per capita energy consumption is 914 units/annum. China has 4000 and America has 14000 units. Electricity demand is increasing day by day in the country. Even after 75 years of independence, about 30 million people in India are living without electricity. This is a very tragic situation, the lack of electricity limits the lack of increasing income. Due to this, poverty has a huge negative impact on the productivity of families, especially the health and education of women and children.
Under the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Scheme (RGGVY), the villages where electricity wires are installed. That village is considered as electricity connection. They actually have electricity, or not. Or consuming electricity, or not. It is not considered. In this way, the status of the remaining houses in a village is not officially desirable.
Blocked power generation capacity: The root cause of this problem was a 73 percent increase in coal-fired power generation capacity in 14 years (FY 2010-14), a 14.7 percent compound annual growth rate) while coal production during this period was only 6.1 percent ( 1.5 percent compound annual growth rate). Coal production slowed down due to complications and arbitrariness in the environmental clearance process. Similarly, about 24,000 MW gas-based power plant is disrupted due to lack of gas. As a result, billions of dollars of investment have been stopped.
Use of our vast hydro-electric capacities below maximum capacity: – Professional movement often airs state-level law and order issues. Seeds of the states have proved to be a major obstacle in the development of India’s hydropower sector. The exhausting and almost endless delays for environmental clearances have further aggravated the problems of hydropower producers and as a result some important projects have not started or have been disrupted, waiting for people benefiting from electricity generated in this way. In progress.
Lack of focus on the renewable energy sector: – The credibility of the renewable energy program has received a major setback because of the commitment of subsidy worth Rs 3,210 crore. But it has not been spent yet. Despite assurances, many approved schemes have been blocked due to fund non-availability and have not been implemented. This has forced the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to put a stop to all new restrictions and a possible moratorium on subsidizing the two major schemes so far. Older subsidies are being distributed separately.
The National Clean Energy Fund was launched to finance the renewable energy sector. However, the money that was raised. It was used to reduce the fiscal deficit and only a small amount was used for the original purpose. Projects worth Rs 10,254 crore were approved, while only a nominal amount of Rs 4,85 crore was released to the Ministry of Renewable Energy. Due to this, the energy entrepreneurs in the country faced heavy disappointment. On the one hand, India’s energy security is in danger, on the other hand, many wrong steps have been taken which have directly hindered the progress of renewable energy sector in India.
Inter-regional transmission barriers: – The investment required for transmission could not keep pace with the increasing demand and generating capacity. This led to transmission bottlenecks and power flow from surplus states (ie, states like Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand which are near mine exit) to the deficient states (ie Tamil Nadu).
Poor Distribution Infrastructure: The scheme has become a rule C for many hours of load shedding and planned and unplanned cuts. The annual operating loss of the discoms is Rs 70 thousand crores, the accumulated loss is Rs 2,52,000 crores and the total debt is Rs 3,04,000 crores.
This situation is mainly due to large scale power theft. AT&C (annual technical and commercial) loss is 25 percent, in which the situation of some states is very bad:
More than 60% loss: – Jammu Kashmir, Manipur, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh.
Losses between 50 and 60%: Bihar and Sikkim.
Losses between 40 and 50 percent: Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Orissa.
Today electricity is the cornerstone of the modern era. Today we talk about skill development, research dimensions, but there is a lack of electricity in those institutions. We talk of making the people of the country self-sufficient, but we do not have sufficient electricity nor cheap electricity. While we know that today electricity has become the cornerstone of modern era. There is a pivot to speed up all the technology of the world and move with time. Or it is useless to imagine development without electricity. Today electricity has become an axis of development for every person. This same need of the person emphasizes to make them self-sufficient. The sector that has given the momentum to development has today become a victim of low-level politics and has crossed the threshold of corruption.
We have formulated a policy to solve all the challenges and problems prevailing in this area. Our government will explore every possible possibility. So that electricity can be produced at a low cost. We have developed the system of working systematically. With which power expansion plans can be simplified and reach every household. For this, we have developed a modern technology.
Our government will unit commercial connections at a maximum of 3 rupees to speed up the development of individuals. Whereas our government will provide electricity by dividing the domestic connection in many ways. We will be given free electricity to families consuming 2 rupees units and 100 units for agricultural works in rural areas. In the urban area, the family spending 200 units will be charged 3 rupees units and the family consuming more than 200 units will be charged 5 rupees units of electricity.
Our efforts: We will solve every problem of electricity through our three efforts:
First: to improve every possibility of power generation. So that we can make electricity permanent in the country.
Second: Our government will introduce on-call system for power expansion. Under which we will provide two types of facilities to the public. So far where electricity has not been reached. Demand for such places will be met quickly. Will be able to contact the government directly for any power problem.
Third: Under the electrical connection system, direct contact can be made for complaints regarding new connections, changing of meters etc. An electrical connection can be obtained within 24 hours by applying from home. There will be a provision for disposal of complaints of any kind in 24 to 48 hours.
Electrical control system: Electrical theft has become a common problem today. In this matter, I found that in most cases it is thriving with the blessings of the Electricity Department. The main reason for this is that the house has a meter for electricity consumption, but it does not have a load meter at all transformers and sub stations of the locality. Due to which the power theft between can not be accounted. The government is currently installing more cable wires with underground wires to prevent power theft. This is true, but the transformer at the mouth must have a loading meter to know what the loading of the given connections is and the total loading, only then we will be able to monitor electrical evasion. Thus we can control the electrical systems.
Our government will bring the technology of IP meter with prepaid meter. So that information about the cost of electricity is kept on the person’s mobile. By which the person will also know how much is their daily consumption. In this way, we will work to control the electrical system through all the arrangements and make it easy for people.
