India Needs To Add 80 GW Coal-Based Capacity By 2030: Minister
India needs to add thermal coal-based power generation capacity of 80 GW against the 27 GW currently under construction as the peak power demand in the country would spike to 335 GW by 2030 from 241 GW at present, Union Power Minister RK Singh said on Tuesday.
Mr Singh presided over a review meeting on thermal power capacity addition in the country where independent power producers and state-owned generators NTPC, SJVN, NHPC, DVC, THDCIL, and NLCIL participated virtually and in physical mode on Tuesday.
Besides energy secretaries of 13 major states were also invited for deliberations.
Addressing the review meeting, Mr Singh said India's peak power demand would touch 335 GW in 2029-30 from the present level of 241 GW.
Peak power demand had touched all-time high of 241 GW in September, reflecting rise in electricity consumption in the country with expansion of economic activities as well as per capita usage.
The minister said India needs 80 GW of coal-based thermal power generation capacity to be build against 27 GW under construction at present.
He was of the view that the renewable energy capacity addition alone cannot help meet the rising electricity demand in the country that has already peaked at an all-time high of 241 GW.
India has set an ambitious target of having 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
The minister said unless storage is viable and scalable, coal (based power generation) cannot be ignored.
Therefore, power demand in India requires coal-based thermal power capacity addition in the country to avoid outages, he said.
He said "the hypocrisy around renewable energy propagated by developed countries stands exposed and the West, which is itself dependent on 75 per cent fossil fuels, cannot lecture us".
He pointed out that India's per capita emission is the lowest in the world.
As per the latest report of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for October, India's installed generation capacity is about 425 GW, including around 179 GW renewable energy and large hydro electric plants.

IndiGo Expects Grounding Of 35 Aircraft In Q4 Due To P&W Engine Issue
IndiGo on Tuesday said it expects at least 35 planes to be grounded due to powder metal issue with the Pratt & Whitney engines during the March quarter next year.
The country's largest airline already has nearly 40 aircraft on the ground due to other issues with the Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines.
The carrier, which had a fleet of 334 planes at the end of September, will face capacity issues due to the significant number of grounded aircraft in the March quarter even as various measures are being taken to address the situation.
"We have recently received additional information on the powder metal issue from Pratt & Whitney and based on our preliminary assessment of this, we anticipate Aircraft on Ground (AOG) in the range of mid-thirties in the fourth quarter (Jan-Mar2024) due to accelerated engine removals. These groundings will be incremental to the current AOGs," IndiGo said in a statement.
Earlier this year, P&W highlighted the impact of the powder metal issue that has affected its new generation GTF aircraft engine.
"Globally, we understand that a large number of incremental engines ranging between 600-700 are being removed for accelerated inspections and shop visits between 2023 and 2026 and two-thirds of these engine removals are planned for 2023 and early 2024," IndiGo said.
Going forward, the airline said it will continue to work with P&W on more information and addressing the situation and implementing mitigation measures to minimise the impact of these AOGs on its capacity in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal and beyond.
"We also confirm our earlier capacity guidance for the entire FY23-24 'in the North of mid-teens' significantly aided by proactive mitigation measures taken earlier by IndiGo... IndiGo also remains confident in meeting its long-term capacity guidance," the statement said.
While announcing its September quarter results on November 3, IndiGo said it was in constant touch with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to navigate the challenges related to aircraft.
"We have taken a whole range of measures... in living up to our capacity guidance of north of mid-teens (for this fiscal)," IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said on November 3.
Among the mitigation measures are taking planes on wet lease, retaining ceo aircraft and also leasing additional ceo planes from the secondary market.
