Unleash the potential of Captive Power;says InfralineEnergy in its business report

The potential of captive power in India is huge but till date it is not utilised to its optimum due to policy and state constraints.The high power deficit in States forced it to think of an alternative way to utilise the captive power.

Odisha shows the way to India by buying around 400MW captive power from the state captive units.

The average demand for power in Orissa is hovering around 2600 Mw to 2650 Mw.Hydro generation stepped up to about 800 Mw from 490 Mw and captive generation plants (CGPs)contributing about 400 Mw to the state grid.

The leading CGP contributors are ICCL (31 Mw), Nav Bharat Ventures (70 Mw), JSL (138Mw), Nilachal Ispat Nigam (9 Mw), INDAL (40 Mw), Vedanta (295), Nalco (17 Mw) and Bhushan Steel (2 Mw).

Gridco is buying this power from state captive units at an average rate of Rs3 per unit ( OERC fixed rate).

In its business report on " Captive power plants in India", InfralineEnergy says that to meet the burgeoning demand of power sector and to scale down the deficit, India should explore innovative way to harness the CPP potential in the country ( estimated to be around 40,000MW).
