CHANDIGARH, JAN 22
Haryana Power Distribution
Corporations plan to install over 11,000 new distribution transformers,
erect 80,000 poles, required length of cable, conductors and G.O switches all
over the State at a cost of about Rs. 500 crore.
This was stated by Mr. V. K. Chaudhary, Director,(Operations), Dakshin Haryana
Bijli Vitran Nigam at village Beeran near Bhiwani today after starting the
programme of special maintenance, renovation and strengthening of the
distribution system.
He said that under the prestigious ongoing
programme to strengthen and renovate the power distribution system all
over the State, each village or urban ward would get at least one additional
power distribution transformer eliminating the problem of overloading of the
system.
He said that the Nigams have a schedule to
complete the work in 900 villages during the month of January and in additional
900 villages and urban wards during the month of February. The schedule of work
for the month of February will be prepared within next two days.
He said that ten per cent of the work would be
completed during the month of January, next 10 per cent in February, 20 per
cent in March, 20 per cent in April, 30 per cent in May and rest 10 per cent of
the work will be completed during the month of June, 2013. Thus, power
distribution system in all the 9000 villages and wards and HUDA sectors in
urban areas will be maintained by the end of June, 2013.
Mr. Chaudhary said that the special
maintenance programme for strengthening the system covers the works like
tightening the loose conductor, replacement of all iron poles, erection of additional
poles and conductor as per requirement, replacement of old and torn out
conductor, maintenance and augmentation of transformers, etc.
With the completion of the special programme
of maintenance and strengthening of the system, the complaints relating to
power failure due to local system constraints are likely to reduce
considerably. During this campaign, special camps will also be organized in the
villages and urban localities to give connections and redress grievances on the
spot.
He said that the Discoms have decided to
give power supply to villagers on urban mode, if they reduce aggregate
technical and commercial losses on their feeders up to 25 per cent or below.
This programme would be helpful to the villagers to qualify to get power supply
on urban mode.He said that under this scheme, the Discoms offer to give
domestic power supply to their consumers in villages on urban mode if they
reduce the AT and C losses to 25 per cent in tranches in gradual manner. If
they reduce one third of the existing AT andC losses above 25 per cent, supply
to their village would be increased from present 11 hours a day to 14 hours a
day. With the further one third reduction, they would be given supply for 17
hours a day. And, with achieving the level of losses up to 25 per cent, the
village would be given domestic supply for 20 hours a day as, presently, is
given in urban areas. For example, in case there are 55 per cent existing
losses in a village, with the reduction in losses up to 45 per cent, the
village will get supply for 14 hours a day, with the reduction up to 35 per
cent, the village would get supply for 17 hours a day and with achieving the
level of AT and C losses up to 25 per cent, the village would get domestic
power supply for 20 hours a day.
Mr.
Chaudhary said that to opt this attractive scheme of the Discoms, the villagers
are required to ensure that each house in the village takes a regular power
connection, all meters are relocated outside the houses on outer walls or poles
and all damaged and old mechanical meters are replaced with new electronic
meters.
He said that two 33 KV substations viz Khanak
and Sagwan are likely to be commissioned during next month at a cost of Rs.
five crore in Tosham Sub Division. Commissioning of the substations would
benefit over two dozen villages by way of improved voltage and regular power
supply. He said that two additional transformers, 20 poles and cable as per
requirement would be added at village Beeran under the programme of special
maintenance and renovation of the power distribution system.
Mr. S K Jindal, Chief Engineer also addressed
the villagers.
