Many other industrial giants have developed their own power generation capacity over the years.
In February it said it will increase its solar-power generation capacity nearly eightfold to more than 10, 000 megawatts by March 2017.
Currently, India's total power generation capacity is 210 gigawatts.
Mr. Srivastava told reporters on the sidelines of an industry conference that India's power generation capacity is expected to touch 700 gigawatts in 2030-31, of which 365 gigawatts would be generated by burning coal.
Meanwhile, the weaker yen means higher costs for rising imports of natural gas, which is priced in dollar terms, to help compensate for the loss of nuclear power generation capacity after most atomic power plants remain closed after the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan.
The resulting disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant led to a shut-down of the country's full nuclear power-generation capacity.
At the same time, and secondly, energy firms must replace around a third of Britain's power-generation capacity over the next decade.
Solar technology has lower capacity since its power generation is constrained by availability of the sun.
It forecasts that the total global generation capacity of nuclear power plants could increase from 368 gigawatts in 2005 to 519 gigawatts in 2030.
Of the more than 4300 power generation companies in China that have capacity of 6, 000 kilowatts and above, approximately 90 percent are state-owned, or companies with a majority of their shares controlled by the state.
Generally, the participants at the FERC hearings all expressed a preference for better sharing of information concerning pipeline capacity scheduled for power generation, individual power plant burn rates, fast notification of major operational changes, and coordination of maintenance work to both systems.

"While there is enough generation capacity to mean that widespread power-cuts are still unlikely, narrower margins mean the risks of outages are higher and scarcity of energy could also feed into possible price rises in future, " he said.
All told, the new generation capacity supported by the Recovery Act is going to power 16.7 million homes.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that demand-response networks could safely handle 20 gigawatts of power, roughly 2% of the country's 900 gigs of generation capacity.
And the logic works with servers as well as storage, as each device category continues to decrease in size, improve in capacity and performance, and reduce its power consumption per unit of work with each new generation.
