Power Secretary, P.Uma Shankar, has suggested that for all upcoming power projects in the country, the power evacuation system should be a part of initial reports establishing the viability of projects, that form a part of capacity addition targets.
- He has further opined that all clearances, necessary for the execution of transmission lines, should be obtained well in advance, so that the construction of transmission lines is not held up for want of clearance.
- Additionally, it was suggested that the associated transmission schemes for power projects, identified for likely benefits during the 12th Plan, should also be developed in synchronization of the generation project, to avoid bottling up of power.
- It is seen that transmission projects are quite often delayed due to issues such as Right-of-Way (RoW), forest clearance etc. Timely clearances are also hampered due to substantial number of Gram Sabhas involved in long transmission lines.
