Organised by 'Utkal Chamber of Commerce and Industry' (UCCI) with the support of Govt. of Odisha

Electricity Odisha 2012
Odisha, the state endowed with all the bounties of nature, to be fit enough to vibrant with power, still languishing with power shortage. Odisha has 45000 MT of power grade coal deposit which can sustain 75000 MW of thermal power for 100 years.

Hydro power is a renewable non-polluting and environmentally, benign source of energy and this is also the cheapest source of electric power. We have 10 important river systems in the state with a hydro power generation potential of 3500 MW. Even a generation from small and mini hydro projects can generate about 360MW of clean hydropower.
The other renewable sources of energy of our state is also quite huge. We have 1700 MW of wind energy potential, 350 MW bio mass, 20 MW of urban municipal waste energy capacity and a solar potential of 5.5KWH/SQM/Day.

With about 32 MOUs signed by Govt, of Odisha, for about 39000 MW with Independent Power Producers (IPP), hardly 4 companies have made some progress and others are stuck up with land and fuel issues. To mitigate the issue of power shortage, our Hon'ble Chief Minister is aggressively pursuing the MOU signing companies to complete their projects as per schedule. On completion, the state will get 8000 mw as its share.

States peak demand is projected at 10,000 MW by the year 2021-22, for which 15,000MW installed capacity is required. If all our modest targets are met, then Odisha will be a power surplus state by 2016-17 with a strong will and dedicated effort by all of us, it is possible.

When this generation aim is achieved the state's power industry has to be run by our young's entrepreneurs, they should produce equipment for the power plant they run. Hence we have also kept a special session on clusterisation of electrical equipment manufacturing, So that the state can be converted from a marketing hub to a manufacturing hub of electrical items.

With all these power generated through thermal route, we have to sacrifice our natural, clean environment and spare our valuable forest.
This quantum of thermal installation will consume 60mt of coal per year and generate 30 mt of ash. We have to find ways for the utilization of ash into brick making, road construction, mine filling, cement manufacturing and soil conditioner.

Today Odisha is going to touch a electricity consumer base of 40,00,000. But still we are to complete the entire 9000 revenue village set to be electrified by 2012. Rural electrification is a priority area for the state Govt, for which besides Rajib Gandhi Yojna, Biju Gramya Jyoti and Biju Sahar Jyojna Programmes have been actively implemented.

To meet this challenge and to tackle such a vast area of subject and varied interests, UCCI has taken this noble venture of bringing all stake holders under one platform" Electricity Odisha 2012" to deliberate on the issue. Our top leaders, administrators, power managers, law makers and entrepreneurs all are assembling here to find out the best solution, to contribute their might towards " Power for All" and make Odisha a "Power Surplus" state.

The Organisers of 'Electricity Odisha 2012' have invited top-notch eminent speakers from GRIDCO, NRE, OREDA, BEE, OERC, MSMEDI, HITACHI. "Electricity Odisha 2012" was inaugurated by our Hon'ble M.P. Rajya Sabha Shri Pyari Mohan Mohapatra along with other dignitaries like Shri Raghunath Mohanty, Minister Parliament Affairs and Industry, Shri Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak, Minister-Energy. 

There will be 3 days seminar from 21st to 23rd on topics of interest to be covered by eminent speakers. Many small scale manufacturers have displayed their products in the exhibition.

The programme has got distinguished organizations like central and state PSUs like BHEL, NTPC, NHPC, MMTC, GRIDCO, OPTCL, NALCO, IPICOL, IDCO, OPGC, CESU, Dhamra Port, REC, OSIC, OREDA who taken up stalls and attending the four day exhibition cum seminar from20th to 23rd Feb' 2012 at.
