Delhi [India], June 28 : The Central Government has issued Guidelines for Resource Adequacy Planning Framework for India in consultation with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).The Guidelines, issued by the Union Ministry of Power, have been framed under Rule 16 of Electricity (Amendment) Rules, 2022 which were notified on 29 December 2022.As per Ministry of Power, "The guidelines will ensure that sufficient electricity is made available to power the country's growth, by putting in place a framework for advance procurement of resources by DISCOMs to meet the electricity demand in a cost-effective manner. Guidelines provide for an institutional mechanism for Resource Adequacy ranging from National level to Discom level such that the availability of resources to meet the demand is ensured at each level. The new generation capacities, energy storage and other flexible resources, needed to reliably meet future demand growth at optimal cost, will be assessed well in advance."The guidelines also suggest a share of at least 75 % of long-term contracts in total capacity required by Discoms as per long-term National Resource Adequacy Plan (LT-NRAP) or as specified by respective SERC. The medium-term contracts are suggested to be in range of 10-20%, while the rest of the power demand can be met through short-term contracts. The National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC) will also carry out bids to procure any shortfall in the capacity required to meet the Short-term Distribution Resource Adequacy Plans (ST-DRAP), after aggregating the individual plans of DISCOMs." Ministry addedMinistry further said that The guidelines also provide for the number of years before which the procurement process by DISCOMs must be completed for each type of generation, so that the procured capacity becomes available when it is required to serve the projected load.Commenting on the guidelines, Union Power & NRE Minister R K Singh said that the guidelines are a major reform to provide consumers 24 x 7 reliable power supply at optimized electricity tariffs. "The time-bound and scientific approach to assess the electricity demand for future and taking necessary actions to procure resources in advance to meet this demand will ensure that the practice of load shedding by DISCOMs and occurrence of electricity supply crunch periods is avoided in future"The Union Power & NRE Minister said that the robust resource adequacy framework will ensure the twin objective of ensuring the energy security of the nation at an optimized cost as well as transitioning towards a clean and sustainable future.CEA will publish LT-NRAP to provide the Planning Reserve Margin (PRM) required at national level, to meet the demand reliably. The National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC) shall prepare a detailed annual operational plan considering the planned maintenance schedules of existing generating stations. This will be called Short-term National Resource Adequacy Plan (ST-NRAP).Based on LT-NRAP, each DISCOM shall prepare their own plans to contract the capacity required to meet the PRM at national level. This plan called Long-term Distribution Licensee Resource Adequacy Plan (LT-DRAP) shall be prepared for 10 years and shall be vetted by CEA while leveraging national level optimization of resources. Similar to NLDC, all SLDCs will also prepare detailed annual operational plans called Short-term Distribution Resource Adequacy Plans (ST-DRAP), for their respective States, based on actual availability of generating stations. These plans shall also factor in the (Renewable Purchase Obligations) RPO mandated for the obligated entities to promote RE capacity addition.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
