3. The Power Sector in the National Budget for FY2022
.
3.2 Overall allocation for the power sector
•
•
•
•
Despite being burdened with overcapacity, power sector is continuing to give
priority to generation related projects under ADP
62% of the total ADP allocation of power sector is provided for generation
(including Ruppur Power Plant)
Power sector should shift its allocation from generation towards more on
transmission and distribution
FY 2022 budget did not give due importance towards generation of renewable
energy based power generation
At present only 730 MW of electricity generation capacity from renewable energy
which is only 2.86% of total generation capacity
•
PSMP 2016 had aimed to generate 10% of the total capacity from RE within
2025
No new investment under SREDA for RE-based projects
Despite the political commitment for phasing out from fossil-fuel based power
generation towards clean-energy based power generation, FY 22 budget has failed to
address that commitment
