भारत का बिजली उत्पादन बढ़ कर पहली बार एक ट्रिलियन यूनिट ( ट्रिलियन = १० ख़रब) हुआ
इस वर्ष ( २०१४- २०१५ ) मैं भारत का बिजली उत्पादन पहली बार दस ख़राब ( इ ट्रिलियन ) यूनिट हुआ . भारत अब विश्व का त्तीसरा सबसे बड़ा बिजली उत्पादक बन गया है . अब सिर्फ अमरीका व् चीन भारत के आगे हैं . परन्तु इसमें भी एक पेच है . भारत मैं अब भी शहरों मैं सिर्फ २२८ किलोवाट घंटे ऊर्जा खर्च होती है ( गावों मैं सिर्फ ९६).युरोप मैं प्रति व्यक्ति ऊर्जा खपत ६२०० किलोवाट घंटे है, इस लिए विकास की दिल्ली अभी दूर है . परन्तु रोज रात को किसी बलात्कार या अन्य बुरी ख़बरों सुनने से एक कुंठा उत्पन्न होती . देश मैं बहुत कुछ अच्छा हो रहा है परन्तु टीआरपी के पीछे भागने वाला मीडिया जनता को एक निराशा के वातावरण मैं डूबा रहा है जो देश के लिए अच्छा नहीं है .बिजली उत्पादन के अन्य तथ्य इस लेख मैं पढ़ें .
India’s electricity generation touched the 1 trillion units mark during 2014-15 for the first time, showing a growth of 8.4 per cent over the previous year. Since 1991-92, the compounded annual growth rate of electricity generation has been around 5 to 6.6 per cent, said a government report.
The biggest contributor was the coal-based power stations which recorded an annual growth rate of 12.1 per cent. Out of 22,566 Mw added during the year 2014-15, the contribution of thermal power sector was significant i.e. 20,830 Mw (92 per cent of the total).
The report said government’s focus has increased on power transmission and distribution. “Steps were taken by the government for expediting forest clearances and intensive monitoring of critical transmission lines. 22,101 circuit kilometers (ckm) of transmission lines have been commissioned during the year 2014-15 against 16,748 ckm commissioned during the same period last year, thus having a growth of 31.96% which is the highest ever achievement in a single year,” it said.
The government data analysis also said due to huge capacity addition along with higher generation and improved transmission capacity resulted in reducing electricity energy shortage from a level to 3.6 per cent from 7 to 11 per cent during the last two decades.
Among the new plants added are NTPC’s 660 MW unit at Barh in Bihar, which is the first indigenously manufactured super critical unit. NHPC and SJVNL completed their projects at Parbati III and Rampur respectively. The gas based Monarchak Power Plant of 65.4 MW, Agartala ST-II of 25.5 MW and Palatana Unit-II of 363.3 MW were also commissioned during the year in Tripura which will benefit the entire North East.
