Measures Taken to Accelerate Hydro Power Capacity
In the beginning of 11th Plan (as on 31.3.2007), the share of hydro in the total installed capacity of the country was 26.19% which declined to 22.31% by 31.10.2010.
As per the Mid-Term Appraisal, capacity addition target for 11th Plan is 62,374 MW comprising 8,237 MW hydro, 50,757 MW thermal and 3,380 MW nuclear. Capacity totaling to 29,361 MW including 3921 MW of hydro has already been commissioned till 15.11.2010 during 11th Plan. Further, a tentative list of 17,315 MW (above 25 MW) of hydro projects has been prepared for benefits during the 12th Plan.
Some of the measures taken to accelerate hydro power capacity addition in the country include expediting preparation of Detailed Project Reports based on economic viability, streamlining clearances for pursuing priority projects, facilitating early financial closure and high priority to smaller capacity run of the river type hydro projects having gestation period of less than five years.
