India,AS PER the annual report of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the annual growth in energy generation during the financial year 2010-11 has been 5.55 per cent. The gross annual generation of the country has crossed the 811.1 BU, gross monthly generation figure has crossed the 75.5 BU mark achieved during March 2011, and gross daily generation figure has crossed the 2.508 BU on March 18.The thermal generation was 664.9 billion units (BU) against target of 690.9 BU; Hydro generation was 114.3 BU against target of 111.4 BU and nuclear power 26.3 BU against target of 22 BU.As per CEA report the nuclear and hydro generation exceeded the annual targets by 19.48 per cent and 2.64 per cent respectively but thermal generation was 4.76 per cent below the target. The total thermal generation achieved a growth rate of 3.81 per cent.
Coal based generation recorded a growth rate of 3.99 per cent.The average PLF of thermal power projects achieved during the year was 75.10 per cent, as compared to 77.68 per cent in the previous year. Nineteen thermal power stations with an aggregate installed capacity of 21995 MW operated above 90 per cent PLF. Dhanu thermal of Reliance achieved 101per cent PLF.OP Jindal thermal achieved 98.04 per cent PLF.53 thermal plants operated above the national average. The thermal plants in region, which operated at more than national average of 75.10 per cent PLF are Ropar thermal (88.07 per cent), Lehra Mohabatt (86.82 per cent) and Panipat (77.85 per cent).However, growth of thermal generation was mainly restricted due to coal shortages, receipt of poor quality/ wet coal. The loss of generation in year due to coal shortage was 7.3 billion units, loss of generation due to poor coal quality 7.7 billion units and delay in commissioning scheduled of plants 13.7 billion units.13 new thermal plant units exceeded their target while 35 new thermal units fell short of assigned targets.
