Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) has identified seven high-capacity transmission corridors, for wheeling power from a number of private generation projects coming up in the eastern and southern States. The move, entailing investments of about Rs 50,000 crore, is aimed at facilitating transfer of electricity to the power-starved northern and western regions of the country.

 

The DPR (detailed project reports) of these schemes as well as the initial tendering activities, envisaging the creation of long-term access capacity of nearly 55,000 MW, are currently in progress. The estimated cost of the schemes is pegged at Rs 49,850 crore. The focus is on evacuating electricity from coal-fired private projects coming up in States such as Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh and imported coal-based projects along the Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu coast to the northern and western regions. These include an 800 kV line and four 765 kV high-capacity corridors.

 

The move to beef up transmission capacity comes at a time when there is renewed interest among private players in the generation sector, which is translating into a surge in demand for new transmission corridors.

 

Going by the Government's latest estimates, PGCIL — the central transmission utility — has received about 222 applications so far for long-term open access (LTOA) in inter-State transmission, with generation capacity of about 1,99,000 MW seeking transfer of nearly 1,59,000 MW power in next three-four years.

 

Of these, LTOA for 94 applicants with generation capacity of about 75,000 MW and quantum of long-term transfer of about 55,000 MW has already been granted. PGCIL currently manages the national grid with inter-regional capacity of over 20,800 MW, which is proposed to be enhanced to 37,700 MW by 2012 through the strengthening of regional grids and building more inter-regional links.
