..... Energy Production and Consumption: A Snap Shot - News and Press Release Dated:- 27-2-2013 - News - During the 11th Five Year Plan, nearly 55,000 MW of new generation capacity was created. Yet there continues to be an overall energy deficit of 8.7% and peak shortage of 9%. The potential for energy generation depends on the country s natural resource endowment and the technology to harness it. As .....

..... on March, 2011 India s estimated coal reserves were about 286 billion ton, 81 billion ton of lignite, 757 MT of crude oil and 1241 billion cubic meter (BCM) of natural gas. The estimated hydro potential (about 25 MW) is about 145 GW. The total potential for renewable power generation from various sources other than large hydro projects stood at 89,760 MW. The 12th Plan has projected total domestic .....
