THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER(SHRI BHARATSINH SOLANKI)
(a) & (b) : The unallocated power of CGSs is revised from time to time to
meet the urgent and overall requirements of power of the States / UTs. The
quantum of unallocated power being limited and it being fully allocated at any
point of time, the
enhancement in allocation of any State / UT is feasible only by way of
equivalent reduction in the allocation of other State(s) / UT(s). The allocation
of unallocated power of Central Generating Stations (CGSs) of Western Region
is revised from time to time keeping in view their relative power supply position,
sale/purchase of power, etc., and the status on 1st April, 2009 and 6th May,
2010 was as under :
As on 01.04.2009 As on 06.05.2010 Peak hours Off-Peak hours Peak hours Off-peak hours (MW) (MW) (MW) (MW)
Chhattisgarh 187 187 0 0
Gujarat 128 128 31 31
Madhya Pradesh 153 153 350 371
Maharashtra 388 388 397 396
Daman & Diu 164 164 121 143
Dadra & NagarHaveli 340 340 414 362
Goa 0 0 28 38
Note : The figures rounded off to nearest integer.
During the aforementioned period, allocation of unallocated
power from CGSs of Western Region was enhanced in respect of Madhya
Pradesh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Goa and Maharashtra by reducing the
allocation of Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Daman & Diu based on their relative
power supply position, power purchase/sale and overdrawal/underdrawal from
the Grid as well as the requirement for allocation to drought prone districts of
Bundelkhand region in Madhya Pradesh.
(c) to (e) : As most of the States / UTs have been facing power shortage,
requests are received from various States / UTs from time to time for
enhancement in allocation of unallocated power /restoration of earlier share.
However, there is no quota fixed for any State / UT and the changes are done
as mentioned in reply to part (a) and (b) above.
