The Minister of State (I/C) of Power, Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia has said that the Government has taken several steps to remove bottlenecks for implementation of hydel power projects in the country. The Minister said this in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today. These measures include the following:
Each project is monitored by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) through frequent site visits, interaction with developers, critical study of monthly progress reports, etc. Chairperson, CEA holds regular review meetings with developers and other stakeholders to resolve the critical issues/bottlenecks.
A Power Project Monitoring Panel (PPMP) has been set up by the Ministry of Power to independently follow up and monitor the progress of hydro projects.
Review meetings are taken by Ministry of Power regularly with the concerned officers of CEA, Equipment manufacturers, State Utilities/Central Public Sector Undertakings / Project developers, etc. to resolve the critical issues.
Proper Project planning is ensured to take care of difficult weather and work conditions including transportation of critical manpower and material in the available working season.
A Task Force on Hydro Power Development was constituted in 2007 under the Chairmanship of Minister of Power to examine & resolve issues relating to Hydro Project Development. Last meeting of the Task Force was held on 10.09.2013.
An Advisory Group under the Chairmanship of Minister of Power has been set up in January, 2013 to discuss and deliberate various issues pertaining to the development of Power Sector, including hydro development.
Shri Scindia said the hydro power projects face certain bottlenecks during implementation. These include, difficult geological conditions (natural), uncertain weather conditions (natural), local area agitations (man-made), etc.
