(We are pleased to state that a seminar on the Indian Power Sector is being organized on 18th December at Lucknow jointly by Institution of Engineers (Lucknow) and Department of Electrical Engineering, IT-BHU, Varanasi. This is the first announcement for the seminar.
The information about the seminar is provided by Mr. Rakesh Goel (Electrical 1974). He can be reached at: goelrak@yahoomail.com.)
* Background
Major opportunities and challenges lie ahead of us to meet the electrical energy requirements of the country.
In spite of the Electricity Act 2003 paving the way for a competitive power sector, the progress is not enough to meet the requirement for a reliable supply to the entire population even by 2012 as aimed by the Govt. of India. Even if we plan to achieve China’s per capita consumption (in 2005) by the year 2012, installed capacity of around 450,000 MW would be required by 2012 to meet the peak demand of our country. This involves a mind boggling capital investment of around Rupees 30 lakh crores; but China has been adding a capacity of 70,000 MW year after year, and phasing out the smaller inefficient plants.
The seminar aims to have presentation of papers by experts to deliberate on this issue. The recommendations of the seminar are proposed to be sent to the Govt. of India in a report format.
Paper presentation and participation is sought from utility companies, manufacturers of electrical equipment, academic institutions, consultants, representatives from the govt. concerned with the power sector and regulatory commission.
