![]() ![]() All of them are interconnected to some extent, except the Southern grid. India has five electricity grids – Northern, Eastern, North-Eastern, Southern and Western. In March 2018, the government stated that nuclear capacity would fall well short of its 63 GWe target and that the total nuclear capacity is likely to be about 22.5 GWe by the year 2031 c. This revised target was reaffirmed by the country’s atomic energy minister in December 2021. The OECD’s International Energy Agency predicts that India will need some $1.6 trillion investment in power generation, transmission and distribution to 2035. By 2032 the plan called for total installed capacity of 700 GWe to meet 7-9% GDP growth, with 63 GWe nuclear. The government's 12th five-year plan for 2012-17 targeted the addition of 94 GWe over the period, costing $247 billion. Total installed capacity at the end of November 2021 was 392 GWe, of which nuclear accounted for 6.78 GWe (1.7%), according to the Ministry of Power. There is an acute demand for more reliable power supplies, though early in 2019 India was set to achieve 100% household electricity connection. In July 2021 maximum demand reached 201 GWe according to the Power System Operation Corporation. In actual terms, between 20, primary energy consumption from fossil fuels is expected to increase by 120%. It predicts that the country’s energy mix will evolve slowly to 2040, with fossil fuels accounting for 79% of demand in 2040, down from 92% in 2017. The 2019 edition of BP’s Energy Outlook projected India’s energy consumption rising by 156% between 20. India's dependence on imported energy resources and the inconsistent reform of the energy sector are challenges to satisfying rising demand.
