It is evident from the above graphic that from the year 1999-2000, no capacity addition
has taken place in the State. The State has, in fact, lost installed hydel capacity of about
1,000 MW to Uttaranchal, consequent to its formation as a separate State in 2002-03.
Similarly, the State has transferred 440 MW of thermal capacity in Tanda to NTPC in
2001-02. The State has not put in place any compensating capacity addition to restore the
demand-supply balance, leading to deterioration of supply parameters to the consumers.
However, plans are afoot to install new generation capacity in the State to remedy the
prevailing dismal situation of demand-supply deficit. M/s Reliance Energy Limited has
also proposed a gas-based station at Dadri in excess of 3,500 MW with major share to
Uttar Pradesh. The State is also slated to receive its share from the Tehri Hydel station,
