Kerala
Power situation looks dim,
says Dr. D. Shina
Dim prospects loom large over the power sector in the State for 2017 since not much bright reasons can be seen for consolation, electricity finance expert D. Shina has said.

In a statement here recently after a comprehensive study of the situation, Ms. Shina said that Kerala’s already poor internal generation growth was currently under serious threat from corridor congestion, the new Central policy of greater allocation to States with generation plants, internal and external opposition to the construction of internal projects and drastic fall in rain.
She said that while the Ministers of the Left Democratic Front that came to power last year aired positive signals at the start and though there were indications of a positive attitude from the Central government, the State government could do little in solving the stalemate in electricity capacity addition in the State.
“The failure of rain during 2016 has pushed the State’s power scenario to a precarious condition. The current water storage at hydroelectric generation stations is sufficient to generate just 1,900 million units. It portends that the power sector of Kerala is soon going to be at the mercy of outside agents and traders and the authorities try to convince that those power purchase agreements will save the situation,” said Dr. Shina of the Sree Narayana College of Legal Studies(SNGCLS), Kollam.
Dr. Shina said that amidst the explosive growth in electricity generation capacity nationwide, Kerala alone lagged behind.
While Indian power sector grew by 82,415 MW during the 12th Plan period due to end in March 2017, Kerala’s contribution during the period did not cross two digits, to be precise it was a mere 83 MW.
“When some of us believe that hydroelectric projects are avoided as a policy on environmental issues and Kerala resources revolve around hydroelectric ones, the striking fact to be noted is that the 12th Plan target which is going to be somewhat achieved is adding 10,897 MW of hydel power.”
The big question is how far we can afford to go solely depending on external sources without enhancing our internal generation capacity, Dr. Shina said.
