Govt must take measures to enforce power grid discipline: Assocham

16 Jun 2014 Evaluate

Amid growing demand of power due to sweltering heat flowing in most parts of the country, Industry Body Assocham has stated that the government should take measures to ensure that grid discipline is maintained. Assocham stressed that frequent power cuts in north Indian states which are also coping with severe heat wave reflects that low investment has been made in upgrading transmission systems and transformers.

Assocham suggested that aerial patrolling of transmission lines both at the national and state levels along with better emergency restoration systems should become government’s priorities. Inability of distribution networks to cope with emergency situations like thunder storms, etc and over-drawal of power by states are the biggest risks, which can snap power lines for long hours and even days. Therefore, the government should take action against the states which are over-drawing power from the transmission lines, industry body added. Emphasizing that the quality supply of power is crucial for the economic growth of the country, Assocham added that life cycle of the towers and transmission equipment should be strictly monitored and replacements should be done without any compromises.

In India, electricity is produced with the help of coal, crude oil, water and natural gas. The Indian power sector is the fifth largest and one of the most diversified sectors in the world with an installed capacity of around 230 GW, out of which coal-fired plants account for about 68 percent of India's installed electricity capacity. In spite of large power capacity addition over the past six years, the country has been witnessing peak hour power deficit at around 3-5 percent due to high demand. As per the latest Central Electricity Authority (CEA) forecast, India is likely to witness a power shortage of 5.1 percent compared to the demand in the current financial year, with southern and north-eastern regions expected to face high deficits.
