Headnote:Constitution of India – Article 226 – P/L – supply of electricity to Ranchi – under taking given by board for taking necessary action for improving the situation. (Paras 6 to 8)
Today the affidavit has been filed giving details of the quantum of electricity allotted to Ranchi as well as the time frame for improving the present condition and also the transmission loss and pilferage, which are as follows:.
"3.1.0 Quantum of Electricity lotted to Ranchi:- Approximated Electricity Requirement to Ranchi:-
Peak hours (6.00 AM. to 9.00 A.M.) And (6.00 P.M. to 9.00 P.M.) 175 MW Normal hours (other than Peak hours) 140 MW
Approximated Electricity allocated to Ranchi
- Peak hours 175 MW
- Normal hours 140 MW
That it is stated & submitted that at present there is no power shortage as far as availability of bulk power is concerned for Ranchi.
3.2.0 Time Frame within which the things will be cured and the situation improved
That so far in the instant matter it is further stated and submitted. We have following five aspects which supplement each other for stable Power Supply.
(a) Generation,
(b) Transmission,
(c) Distribution,
(d) Financial Management.
(e) Human Resource,
3.2.1 Generation There are four source of power supply to Ranchi Town and the State Installed capacity Derated capacity
(i) PTPS 840 MW 770 MW.
Out of ten installed generating unit at present there are three units i.e. 1, 2 & 6 in running conditions which are generating approximately 130 MW of power. Units 3 & 5 requires capital maintenance work, unit 9 & 10 have been handed over to BHEL for renovation of the unit. Units No. 7 is under repair and the repair work is being done by NASL. It will be commissioned and start generation power likely by 15th June which will generate 90-100 MW after full repairing. Thus by the end of June 2007 PTPS is likely to generate 250 MW Power.
1. Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Limited-.
Installed capacity of TVNL is 2X210 MW which is generating 380-390 MW power per day. We are regularly receiving power generated from. TVNL. Ex.- pansion of two more units is under active consideration at TTPS.
2 Sikidri- The installed capacity of Sikidri Hydel Power Station is 2X65 MW i.e. 130 MW which successfully generates energy during rainy season up to 125 MW.
This is situated at Getalsud Dam. The energy is generated there.
3. Central Sector-The allocation of power from Central Sector is 267 MW, out of which Jharkhand State Electricity Board, Ranchi gets 200 to 210 MW. It further varies with the generation of the Central Sector generating units.
3. Now if the generation of the PTPS comes up as stated above and power from Central Sector and TIPS is supplied to that extent then there is no problem of power in the State because the total demand of the State is approximately 710 MW excluding DVC command area whereas by and large production comes to about 840 MV by the end of May 2007.
At present total power available to JSEB is about 700 MW.

4. After construction of new Grid at 220/132 KV Grid and transmission line for PGCIL Grtd to Hatja Grid the power supply of Ranchi Town will be stable and voltage will improve considerably. TI e stability of power will come into force. The 220/132 KVgrid sub-station is likely to be completed by August. 2007. The capacity of the newly constructed 220/132 KV Grid Sub-Station is 2 X 150 MVA and the capacity of PGCIL 400/220 KV Grid Sub- Station is 2 X 315 MVA.
