Government In Control Of Power, Maharashtra Will Be Free Of Load-Shedding By 2012, Claims Government
By sakshi sinha, Section Electricity
Posted on Mon Jul 12, 2010 at 02:25:44 AM EST
A strong pitch was made in defence of the Maharashtra government over the seemingly bleak power situation in the state. Three government representatives including Dilip Walse-Patil, speaker of the state assembly and former energy minister, along with Subrat Ratho and Ajoy Mehta, managing directors of the generation and distribution arms of the state-owned electricity companies, chorused that the state government was seized of the situation and that things are not as discouraging as they appear.
Mehta said the state provides maximum power compared to the rest of the country; a minimum daily supply of 10 hours is provided to everyone in the state, he said, while most other states, including Gujarat, do not supply beyond 6-8 hours a day.
Walse-Patil chaired the session on power and the panel included Mehta, Ratho, Shantanu Dixit of Pune-based NGO Prayas Energy Group, Jayant Deo, MD of Indian Energy Exchange, and Umesh Agarwal, associate director of PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Pointing out a dichotomy, Walse-Patil said while everyone wants electricity all the time and at a cheaper rate, nobody wants the plant in their own backyard. "One must applaud the government for having not denied a single industrial connection till date for lack of supply."
Mehta said that power, like foodgrains, must be considered an essential commodity. "We provide electricity from the poorest of poor to high-end consumers and for malls and industries. There is cross-subsidisation. Questions are raised as to why there should be cross-subsidy. We have to consider political reality, social need and economic truth while answering the same," said Mehta. Ratho said the state has added 40% more capacity in the last decade, and predicted that load-shedding would vanish in another two years.

Zero Load-Shedding Plan Put On Hold, Demand Supply Gap Has Gone Up To 6,000 MW From 3,500 MW
By sakshi sinha, Section Electricity
Posted on Tue Jun 01, 2010 at 12:20:35 AM EST
The 18 district headquarters in the state will have to wait longer to get freedom from load-shedding. The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Merc) has asked the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) to postpone implementation of the zero load-shedding model due to an increase in demand supply gap in the state and the prevailing uncertainty over availability of additional power and its price.
The MSEDCL has proposed zero load-shedding in Kolhapur, Sangli, Solapur, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Chandrapur, Wardha, Gadchiroli (Brahmapuri and Allapali divisions), Gadchiroli, Ahmednagar, Bhandara, Satara, Buldhana, Latur, Akola, Washim, Nanded and Yavatmal, for which an additional 103.84 MW power was required. The MSEDCL has proposed reliability charge of 22 paise per unit for cities coming in `A' group, 37 paise for `B' group, 40 paise for `C' group and 47 paise for `D' group.
The distribution company also sought Merc's permission to implement the model in Nashik revenue headquarters, with reliability charge of 51 paise per unit. The power utility also proposed that the reliability charge applicable to backward Gadchiroli area be recovered from other consumers in the state as a social responsibility.
While delivering its order, Merc observed that the power availability situation and its rate has changed in the past couple of months. "When the proposal was submitted, the demand supply gap was in the range of 3,500 MW, but at present, it is over 6,000 MW. As a result, the requirement of additional power for withdrawal of load-shedding would be much higher than projected and the consequent reliability charges would also be higher," it said.
The regulator stated that in its subsequent submission, the MSEDCL has said that due to water scarcity, thermal generation at Chandrapur had reduced significantly. "The MSEDCL also considered a worstcase scenario whereby it is assumed that the monsoon would start only in the first week of July, which means that the Chandrapur plant, having a capacity of 2,340 MW, will not be available. Hence, there is a possibility that the MSEDCL will have to procure additional power for covering the Chandrapur shortfall and for zero load-shedding model," Merc stated.
The commission also pointed out that the price of electricity at the Indian energy exchange had gone up from a maximum of Rs 5.72 per unit in February to Rs 12.50 in May, while the minimum price has also gone up from 92 paise per unit to Rs 2 per unit during the same period.

Power Cuts Are Here To Stay Till 2014-15
By akansha, Section Electricity
Posted on Wed May 19, 2010 at 11:51:16 PM EST
With the delay in completion of capacity-addition projects, the state government's promise of freedom from load-shedding by 2012 is likely to remain unfulfilled and consumers will have to continue bearing the brunt of power cuts at least till 2014-15.
This was revealed by city-based Prayas energy group on Wednesday during a public hearing on the Maharashtra state electricity distribution company limited's (MSEDCL) tariff proposal for 2010-11.
Ashwini Chitnis of Prayas said that the MSEDCL has announced that capacity-addition works to the tune of 11,000 MW, expected to end loadshedding, will be completed only by 2013-14. "However, records of project completion dates reveal that works of the generation company will get delayed at least by six months. So there will be load-shedding at least till 2014-15," she said.
Chitnis said that, among the future projects, the 500 MW Khaparkheda unit 5, which was to be completed by May 2010, has been delayed till September 2010. "The 500-MW Bhusawal unit 4, scheduled to be completed by October 2010, will be finished only in April 2011, the 500-MW Bhusawal unit 5 will be completed in June 2011, instead of the projected date of February 2011.
The Chandrapur unit 8 and unit 9 (500 MW each), which were scheduled to be completed by February 2012 and May 2012, respectively, will be ready only by August 2012 and November 2012. The Parli 250 MW unit 8 is expected to be ready by February 2014, followed by the Koradi units 8, 9 and 10 (660 MW each) by January 2014, July 2014 and January 2015, respectively," she revealed.

Power Shortage To Remain Till Monsoon: Pawar
By akansha, Section Electricity
Posted on Sun May 09, 2010 at 02:41:56 AM EST
State power minister Ajit Pawar on Saturday admitted that there was a power crisis in the state and the situation would remain till the arrival of monsoon.
He was speaking at the review meeting of the Pune revenue division for the ensuing Kharif season. Minister for agriculture Balasaheb Thorat, divisional commissioner Dilip Band, district collector Chandrakant Dalvi, agriculture department officials, collectors of all districts in the division and elected representatives attended the meeting.
Pawar said there was demand of 15,000 MW and the supply was to the tune of 10,000 to 11,000 MW. He said there was no water in the reservoir at Chandrapur and seven out of 8 power generating units were closed down resulting in a shortfall of 2000 MW.
The minister said the government has ensured that big cities should be least affected by the load-shedding. He said he had discussed the issue with Union minister for power Sushilkumar Shinde during the power ministers' conference in Delhi.
He said the Centre has till date provided only 100 MW power to the state to meet the shortage situation and there was a possibility of yet another 100 MW power from the Centre.
He said the northern states especially Uttar Pradesh was drawing more power than its share from the National Grid which was keeping Maharashtra at the receiving end. Pawar said the power generation at Chandrapur can be resumed after the arrival of monsoon.

State To Get 200 MW Additional Power
By akansha, Section Electricity
Posted on Thu Apr 29, 2010 at 11:53:06 PM EST
Given the power shortage in the state in the backdrop of the relentless heat this year, Union power minister Sushilkumar Shinde has agreed to supply an additional 200 MW power to the state, district guardian minister and minister for energy and water resources Ajit Pawar said here on Thursday.
He was speaking during the inaugural function of the three-day cultural festival at the Shaniwarwada organised by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to felicitate freedom fighters of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement on the occasion of the golden jubilee year of the movement. The festival will go on till May 1.
Pawar said he regretted that despite several movements and assorted efforts, Belgaum-Nepani-Karwar still remained disputed. "However, since the matter is with the Supreme Court, the state cannot do much about it."
He also told the audience to bear in mind the contribution of several stalwarts from assorted fields in taking Maharashtra forward. He added that Maharashtra Day and Labour Day will also be celebrated in a glittering function in New Delhi on May 1.
Containers (kalash) of soil brought from every district and water from various rivers were poured into two big containers on the dais, with help of the present dignitaries, including Pawar, mayor Mohansingh Rajpal, Pimpri Chinchwad mayor Yogesh Behl, district collector Chandrakant Dalvi, leaders Aba Bagul and Ramesh Wanjale.
While small containers of the soil and water will be taken to Mumbai's Hutatma Smarak, the remaining soil and water will be utilised by the PMC to craft a sculpture. The felicitation of the freedom fighters was followed by a variety entertainment cultural show.

Pre-Paid Power Meters In State Within Four Months
By sakshi sinha, Section Electricity
Posted on Wed Apr 28, 2010 at 02:35:15 AM EST
 Power consumers will have the option of making advance payment of their bills and avail of incentives for the same. The MSEDCL has got the green signal from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Merc) to install 25,000 pre-paid meters in the state on an experimental basis.
The power company is optimistic about installing the meters, covering domestic, commercial and temporary category consumers, within four months from now.
"We have already started the tendering process and hope to install prepaid meters in four months. Our first priority is to install such meters at `second homes' of people but consumers who have electronic meters and are willing to be part of the experiment will also be included," said an MSEDCL official.
The expenditure for the first phase will be Rs 16.50 crore.
The MSEDCL will install pre-paid meters free of cost for consumers and will not take any security deposit either. The meters are tamper-proof to prevent issues like meter bypassing and/or theft and unlawful usage of power.
In the new arrangement, the consumer pays some amount in advance to buy electricity units needed and the balance account is debited for the amount of electricity used in the previous month. When the electricity units purchased by paying in advance have been consumed, the consumer can use a recharge coupon to improve the balance, failing which the supply will get disconnected automatically. The recharge coupons will be in the form of a card that will be inserted in the pre-paid meter.

Power Tariff Hike: Hearing On May 19
By sakshi sinha, Section Electricity
Posted on Wed Apr 14, 2010 at 01:17:44 AM EST
charges after the regulatory authority had rejected it last year.
However activists like Vivek Velankar of the Sajag Grahak Manch have objected to the proposal and pointed out that the power utility had put forth a similar proposal of cent per cent increase in fixed charges last year.
"That proposal was also rejected outright by the Commission. Hence what is the point of introducing another proposal that seeks an increase in the power tariff?" Velankar asked.
Meanwhile Velankar has urged the MSEDCL to start a training programme for the officers and employees on the electricity act and rules.
He has pointed out cases where domestic consumers have received exorbitant bills and despite the demand for correction of the bills, the power utility disconnected the supply without notice.
THE hearing for the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL)'s proposed tariff hike will be held in Pune on May 19. The proposal for hiking the power charges by an additional 15 per cent has been submitted to the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commisison.
S P Nagtilak, Chief Engineer of the Pune Division of the MSEDCL, said that the hearing will be held on May 19 at the Council Hall in Pune. Upto a 15 per cent rise has been proposed for domestic consumers whereas the hike for agriculture pump usage is nine per cent.
The suggested increase for industries is 16 per cent and for small scale units, 14 per cent.MSEDCL has approached the MERC with their plan to hike fixed demand
