Will the Minister of POWER
be pleased to state:
(a) the annual electricity generation in the country and the annual electricity
generated during the last three years in each State and Union Territory of the
country including Chhattisgarh;
(b) the present annual capacity of nuclear energy generation in the country
and the details of all operational nuclear energy reactors along with their annual
capacity;
(c) the steps being taken by the Ministry to promote the nuclear energy
sector;
(d) the total energy deficit and peak energy deficit in the country during the
Financial Year 2024-25; and
(e) the manner in which the nuclear energy sector is likely to help in reducing
this deficit?
A N S W E R
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER
(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)
(a) : The State/UT-wise details of annual electricity generated in the country
during the last three years and current year (till May-2025) including
Chhattisgarh are given at Annexure-I.
(b) : The present Installed Capacity of Nuclear Generation in India is 8,780
MW (excluding 100 MW of Rajasthan Atomic Power Station-I (RAPS-I), which is
under extended shutdown). The list of all operational Nuclear power reactors
along with their rated capacity is given at Annexure-II.
(c) : The Government has announced an ambitious Nuclear Energy Mission
with a target of reaching a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047. To
facilitate this mission, necessary amendments will be brought in the Atomic
Energy Act and Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act to enable private
investment in nuclear power sector. The Government has also announced
measures for enabling R&D in Small Module Reactors (SMRs) and new
advanced technologies.(d) : Power supply position of the country during the year 2024-25 in terms of
Energy and Peak is given at Annexure-III. This indicates that the energy deficit
and peak deficit in the country during the year 2024-25 was almost Nil.
(e) : Nuclear power is a clean base load source of electricity which is
available 24x7. The Greenhouse gas emissions during the total lifecycle of
Nuclear power plant is comparable to renewables like Hydro and Wind. The
nuclear energy mission announced in the Budget-2025 envisages deployment
of 100 GW of nuclear energy by 2047. This initiative will increase the share of
nuclear energy in India's energy mix for long term energy transition strategy
for Viksit Bharat.
