The steps taken by the
Government to increase availability of power in the country which will in turn
lead to enhancement in per-capita availability of power include (i) acceleration in generating capacity addition during the
11th Plan, new capacity of 54,964 MW was added, which is approximately 2.6 times
the capacity addition of 21,180 MW achieved in the 10th Plan, (ii) rigorous
monitoring of the on-going capacity addition programme,
(iii) initiative for augmentation of domestic manufacturing capacity of power
plant equipment, (iv) development of Ultra Mega Power Projects of 4000 MW each,
(v) harnessing surplus captive power into the grid, (vi) Renovation,
Modernization & Life Extension of old and inefficient generating units,
(vii) development of an extensive network of high voltage transmission for transfer
of power from surplus to deficit regions, etc.
