Central electricity authority Annual Report 2009-10
(b) Analysis of Load Growth
The 17 th EPS Report was prepared in
consultation with utilities by considering
various assumptions, in order to keep a
watch on the load growth vis-à-vis demand
forecast of various States. Analysis of energy
demand and the peak demand is being carried
out regularly. The All India energy demand
during the year 2009-10 is very much in line
with the 17 th EPS forecast i.e. demand being
830.31 BU against the projected forecast of
848.39 BU. The energy demand of most of
the Regions except North-eastern Region
(NER) deviated from projections in the band
of 0-5%. The deviation in peak demand of
all Regions except NER remained upto 5%
with respect to 17 th EPS projections during
a particular month only. The peak demand
projections on All India basis were about
10% more than the actual demand. The
analysis of the demand shows that there
are spurts in the peak demand by 15-30%
whereas the corresponding energy demand
during the same year had grown by 8-10%
only. The irregular increase in peak demand
without corresponding energy growth needs
to be addressed through Load Management,
Demand Side Management and T&D Loss
Reduction Programme. Accordingly, these
States have been advised to develop the load
growth and infrastructure to provide power
for all.
2.4 Publications on All India Electricity
Statistics – General Review & Growth
of Electricity Sector in India
In fulfillment of its duties and functions
stated under Section 73 (i) & (j) and exercising
powers vested under Section 74 of the Electricity
Act, 2003, CEA publishes following documents
carrying annual electricity statistics of national
and international importance and growth
indicators of the Indian Electricity Sector viz.
All India Electricity Statistics ‘General Review’
& ‘Growth of Electricity Sector in India from
1947 onwards’.
2.4.1 All India Electricity Statistics –
General Review
General Review-2009 containing annual
electrical energy statistics of utilities concerning
growth of the Indian Electricity Sector, important
information like organizational structure of
Electricity Supply Industry in India and reforms
carried out by Utilities are incorporated. The
General Review incorporates many important
statistics/data on installed capacity, energy
generation and utilization of energy along with
the transmission and distribution losses. This
publication contains energy utilization by various
categories of electricity consumers like domestic,
commercial, irrigation, industries (LV/MV, HV/
EHV), public lighting, public water works, etc.
In addition, the information on captive generation
by 3000(approx) HV/EHV industries is also
compiled along with the installed generating
capacity by captive generators. General Review–
2009 containing data for the year 2007-08 has
been published in May, 2009.
2.4.2 Growth of Electricity Sector in India
A Publication titled “Growth of
Electricity Sector in India from 1947-2009”
was brought out in May, 2009 containing data
for 2007-08 and provisional/estimated data for
2008-09 in respect of Indian Electricity Sector
is also indicated in this publication. The data for
this publication has been sourced from various
Utilities & Non-utilities and various National &
International Journals.
This annual publication of CEA illustrates
the growth of vital development indicators like
generating capacity, electrical energy production,
transmission and distribution network, captive
power plants and pattern of consumption of
electricity etc. The important statistics have
