include inadequate availability of fuel (coal, gas & nuclear), receipt of inferior quality coal/wet coal, grid constraints, delay in stabilization of new generating units on account of delay in completion of balance of plant works, shut down of some units due to environmental restrictions, unforeseen forced outages of units/unscheduled extended plannedmaintenance, deficient rainfall in catchment areas and receipt of low schedules from the beneficiary states.
These include acceleration in generating capacity addition; rigorous monitoring of capacity addition of the on-going generation projects; coordinated operation and maintenance of hydro, thermal, nuclear and gas based power stations to optimally utilize the existing generation capacity; thrust to import of coal to bridge the gap between requirement of coal and its availability from the domestic sources; development of Ultra Mega Power Projects of 4000 MW each to reap benefits of economies of scale; renovation, modernization and life extension of old and inefficient generation units; strengthening of inter-state and inter regional transmission capacity for optimum utilization of available power; and energy conservation, energy efficiency; and demand side management measures.
