Inaugural sessionThe inaugural session commenced with Mr. Nagesh Kumar, Chief Economist, UNESCAPand Director, Sub-Regional Office for South and South-West Asia, New Delhi, India,welcoming the gathering. This was followed by the opening address delivered by Mr.Arup Roy Choudhury, Chairman and Managing Director, NTPC, and Secretary, WorldEnergy Council–Indian Member Committee (WEC-IMC), New Delhi, India. Mr. P. UmaShankar, Secretary, Ministry of Power (MoP), Government of India (GoI), India deliveredthe inaugural address. After presentation of mementos to distinguished guests andpanel members, Mr. Branko Milicevic, Economic Affairs Officer, Sustainable EnergyDivision, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Geneva,Switzerland, proposed a vote of thanks, thus concluding the inaugural session.In his welcome address, Mr. Nagesh Kumar explained the background to the organizationof the Workshop. Advanced fossil fuel technologies hold the key to climate changemitigation, he stated. The approach of the 12 th Five-Year Plan (FYP) of India for theperiod 2012-2017 appropriately focuses on modernization of power plants. There is anurgent need to create an investment climate for clean technologies. Public-private4
partnership (PPP) provides an effective alternate model of development. Foreign directinvestment (FDI) has to be focused for the speedy growth of the power sector in Indiain the 12 th FYP period.Mr. Arup Roy Choudhury, in his opening address, gave an overview of power generationscenario in India with NTPC being a major player in coal-based thermal power generation.He explained the steps taken by NTPC to promote CCT with emphasis on super- andultra-critical technologies. Significant opportunities exist in manufacturing of supercriticalpower plants; integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) demonstration;coal washeries; coal mining; and coal handling and transportation.Inaugurating the Workshop, Mr. P. Uma Shankar presented a comprehensive view ofthe policy of GoI to achieve a big leap in power development in India and the role ofadvanced FFT as the backbone to spur the country’s power generation capacity. India’sper capita power consumption is far below the world average. The challenge for India’spower sector is to increase installed power capacity, while keeping the environmentalconcerns in mind. India has several low-carbon growth strategies including power sectorvalue chain, efficiency, end use management, and energy labelling of power-consumingequipment and gadgets prescribed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). Lossesin distribution networks, including from power theft, need to be contained. Efforts areto be made to reduce losses in transmission lines through extra-high voltage (EHV)and ultra-high voltage (UHV) levels with installation of 1,200 kilovolt (kV) systems.On the generation front, coal will continue to be the backbone with nearly 200 Gigawatts(GW) planned capacity and 25 GW from non-fossil fuels. Solar energy, wind energy,hydro energy and bio-energy will play major roles. Supercritical technology that operatessystems at increased temperature and pressure will be vigorously pursued. The bulkof future installations will be supercritical and ultra-critical units. Mega projects of4,000 MW capacity are being planned. Larger unit sizes – 660, 800 and 1000 MW –are on the anvil. Indigenization of the manufacture of equipment for such state-of-theartsystems is encouraged. On coal quality, the high ash content of Indian coal needsto be factored in. A national clean energy fund is being created with a levy to create anenergy R&D fund of about Rs 50 billion (US$982.9 million) 1 . Coal- and gas-basedpower generation will have an investment of about Rs 2,000 billion (US$39.3 billion) inthe 12 th FYP to add about 76 GW 2 . Transmission lines will be augmented with 100,000circuit kilometre in addition to extension of distribution network.Mr. Branko Milicevic proposed a vote of thanks and briefed on the objective of theWorkshop from UNECE perspective. The current Workshop is part of a series ofworkshops planned in different countries to address local issues. Mitigating climatechange through use of advanced FFT is the aim. Coal and natural gas would be mainplayers. Supercritical technologies, IGCC and carbon capture and storage (CCS) needto be explored. FDI can spur growth in this front, but both foreign and domestic investmentwould be needed. United Nations agencies may facilitate such efforts. Green energytechnologies need to be vigorously pursued. Renewable energy versus efficiency mustbe assessed.1Conversion rate used throughout this report is US$1 = Rs 50.87.2Apparent variances between the figures quoted by different experts may be attributed tothe different sources of information that they relied on. For instance, the earlier estimate of76 GW of power capacity addition was later revised to 88 GW in view of the shortfall assessedfor the 11 th FYP period.5
