K.Das, Managing Director, HaryanaVidyut Prasaran Nigam, Mrs. jyotiArora, Managing Director, HaryanaPower Generation Corporation, Mr.Vijayendra Kumar, Managing Director,Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigamand a large number of political, socialand executive dignitaries were presenton the occasion.

The project will have two units of 600MW each. A greenfield project of this

magnitude takes at least 39 and 42 monthsfor commissioning. However, for thisproject an aggressive commissioningschedule of 35 and 38 months has beenenvisaged, which is the shortestcommissioning schedule in the country forsuch large capacity projects. The State isfurther targeting a best effort schedule of34 and 36 months for early availability of

power from these units.The project, sprawling over 989

acres of land, has been included by theMinistry of Power in the capacity additionprogramme for 11th plan. The first 600 MWUnit of the project is scheduled forcommissioning in December, 2009 and thesecond of the same capacity in March2010. The State would get 288 lac units ofelectricity daily from these two thermalunits.

In order to ensure t imelyconstruction and commissioning of thisproject the HPGCL has made bulk of theloan arrangements from RuralElectrification Corporation of India Ltd.(REC) and Power Finance CorporationLtd. (PFC) and from the National CapitalRegion Planning Board (NCRPB).

The project will be a milestone inbridging the gap of increasing demandand availability of electricity and will be amajor step towards self sufficiency inpower sector.

Prime minister assures all help of Union Govt. for development of HaryanaPrime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh on May 19 last

assured all help of the Central Government to Haryana

saying that the dream of Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder

Singh Hooda to develop Haryana would be realised.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was addressing a largely attended

public meeting shortly after laying foundation stone of 1200

MWThermalPowerProjectatvillageKhedarnearHisar.He said, "Haryana has made tremendous progress

under the able leadership of Mr. Hooda." Laying stress

on socio-economic development, he said, "we shall

have to ensure that the generation of power also

increase considerably." When the Central Government

would lay emphasis on setting up of nuclear power plants

in the next plan, special attention would be paid to

Haryana.Union Power Minister, Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde

described Haryana as one of the progressive states in

the country and said that with a view to maintain this pace

of development, stress should be laid on increasing

generation of power. He said "with a view to make India

more developed we would have to increase economic

growth rate from 9 to 10 per cent which would also

increase consumption of power." He appreciated the

efforts being made by Haryana Government to increase

power generation. A 600 MW power plant was being set

up at Yamunanagar and a 1200 MW power plant would

be set up at Jhajjar in private sector. In addition, the

National Thermal Power Corporation would also set up a

1500 MW power plant at Jhajjar which would supply 750

MW of power to Haryana. He assured the farmers of

Haryana that adequate power would be supplied to

them during paddy season.Haryana Governor, Dr.A.R. Kidwai said that country's

growth rate was 9.5 per cent whereas in case of

Haryana it was 10 per cent. This proved that Haryana

has been progressing fast. He said that it would be the

endeavour of the Government to ensure that farmers,

labourers and entrepreneurs get all possible assistance

so as to increase production.While appreciating the support rendered by the

residents of village Khedar in turning the proposal of the

thermal project into a reality, the Chief Minister,

Mr.Bhupinder Singh Hooda, on this occasion,

announced that after the commissioning of the thermal

power project, it would be ensured that the consumers

within its radius of 10 km get power round-the-clock.Mr.Hooda announced that one member of each such

family whose land had been acquired for this power

project would be given employment on the

basis of his or her eligibility. He also announced to

upgrade Government Girls Middle School of the village

and assured that Khedar would be developed as a

model village. He said that the power plant would be

named after former Prime Minister, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and

it would be known as Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power

Plant, Khedar.Others present on the occasion included Union

Minister of State for Housing and Urban Poverty

A l lev ia t ion , Ms.Se l ja , Haryana Educa t ion

Minister, Mr. Phool Chand Mullana, Member Parliament

from Hisar Mr.Jai Parkash and senior officers of

Haryana Government.The MLA from Ghirai, Mr. Chhatarpal Singh presented

Shawls and sticks to Prime Minister and Chief Minister

on behalf of the people of the area. The Sarpanch of the

village Khedar, Mr.Rajesh also presented a

Shawl to the Prime Minister as a mark of respect, on

behalf of the residents of the village.

Funds for timely commissioning of Hisar Thermal arrangedIn order to ensure timely construction and

commissioning of a 1200 MW Thermal Plant at Hisar, the

Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited

(HPGCL) has made bulk of the loan arrangements from

Rural Electrification Corporation of India Ltd. (REC),

Power Finance Corporation Ltd. (PFC) and from the

National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB).

Giving details, Mr. Ashok

Lavasa, Financial Commissioner &

Principal Secretary (Power), Haryana

said at Chandigarh on May 6 last that

all these government agencies

provide funds / loan assistance to the

Power Boards / Utilities for setting up

new generating units, strengthening

o f p o w e r t r a n s m i s s i o n a n d

distribution network through out the country.

He said that it was for the first time that the NCRPB

had sanctioned a loan of Rs. 500 crore at an effective rate

of interest of 5.5 percent per annum. The loan of Rs. 135

crore sanctioned for the year 2006-07 has already been

drawn for the purpose. The balance would be drawn in two

tranches.

Besides this, REC has sanctioned a loan of Rs.

1536.03 crore with a repayment period of 15 years and

Commercial Operation Date (COD) in 60 quarterly

installments. Similarly, Rs. 1453 crore have been

sanctioned by Power Finance Corporation with

repayment of 15 years after 38 months moratorium

period i.e. total loan period will be 18 years.

This project has been included by

the Ministry of Power in the capacity

addition programme for 11th plan.

This is the first project in the Northern

Region to be awarded Mega Project

status which would be benefited

under the mega project policy of

Government of India. This has helped

reduce the project cost and lower the

cost of generation.

He said that the contract to set up the power plant at

Hisar had already been awarded through international

competitive bidding at Rs. 3.14 crore per MW, with a

commissioning schedule of 35 months, perhaps the

most aggressive schedule in the country for such a big

project.

Prime Minister lauds initiatives on DSM by Haryana Power UtilitiesThe Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh praised the

initiatives taken by Haryana Power DistributionCorporations for demand side management (DSM) atthe exhibition installed by the Haryana Power Utilities onthe eve of foundation stone laying ceremony of 1200 MWthermal power project on May 19 last at village Khedar.

He lauded the efforts made by Haryana for energyconservation by promoting use of Compact FlorescentLamp (CFL), energy efficient star ratedmotors and pumps and differentdomestic appliances. He wasapprised by Mr. Ashok Lavasa, StatePower Secretary that Haryana isexecuting a prestigious plan toseparate agriculture and domesticload in rural sector so as to giveadequate and qualitative power supplyto pump sets and domestic sector inrural area. The power utilities haveembarked on the most important activity on demand sidemanagement i.e. to reduce the ratio of high tension and lowtension distribution systems by increasing the HT portion.All 11KV feeders having load more than 150 ampere arebeing divided into smaller feedersof lesser load.

Mr. Lavasa apprised the Prime Minister that Haryanahad launched a massive campaign to erect Low VoltageDistribution System (LVDS) or High Voltage DistributionSystem (HVDS) so as to make the distribution system ofinternational standard all over Haryana, particularly inrural areas. In this system, the energy audit will becomepractically easy and it will not be easy to draw powerunauthorisedly from this system.

The Prime Minister was happy to know that HaryanaPower Sector was marching ahead on the track ofreforms at an accelerated speed. The distributioncorporations would invest about Rs. 1600 crore forstrengthening power distribution system in the stateduring the current financial year. This is a big plan fordistribution system in the state.

Dr Manmohan Singh took keen interest in the capacityaddition programme of Haryanadepicted in the exhibition and said thatcentre would extend full support to thecapacity addition programme ofHaryana. The government will givepriority to Haryana for setting up anuclear power plant.

Mr Lavasa apprised the PrimeMinister that Haryana was one of thefore runners to initiate reforms in itspower sector in 1997. All the new

power utilities have achieved remarkable progress in therespective domain of their activities after corporatizationof the Haryana Power Sector under reformationprogramme. The utilities have been able to achieve theultimate goal of customer satisfaction.

At the exhibition Dr. A R Kidwai, Governor Haryana, Mr.Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Minister of Power, Sh.Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Chief Minister, Haryana, Ms. Selja,Union Minister of State, Mr. Anil Razdan, Union PowerSecretary,Mr.PremPrashant,ChiefSecretary,Haryana,Mr.O S Lohchab, Chairman, Haryana Power Utilities, Mr. P KDas,MD,HVPN,Ms.JyotiArora,MD,HPGC,Mr.VijayendraKumar,MD,DHBVNandotherseniorofficerswerepresent.

Bhuna feeder in distt. Sirsa is Haryana's first CFL feederBhuna electricity supply feeder of Dakshin

Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), feeding electricityto four villages of district Sirsa, has become first CFLfeeder of Haryana on which all the villages have shiftedcompletely to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) .

Under its campaign, a team of DHBVN officialspersuaded residents ofthe four villages, viz.Bhorawali, Bhuna, BhunaJagga and Gidhran, beingfed electricity through 18K.M. long 11 KV feederBhuna, to replace thec o n v e n t i o n a lincandescent bulbs withenergy efficient compactflorescent lamps (CFLs).During the compaignconsumers bought 4200CFLs to replacec o n v e n t i o n a lincandescent bulbs. Total 1239 consumers in these fourvillages replaced 5700 conventional bulbs with CFLsmaking the feeder to have CFLs only for lightingpurposes and no conventional incandescent bulb.

Load on the 12 distribution transformersinstalled on the feeder for power supply in the villageshas reduced by about 50 percent during peak load hoursin the evening. The maximum reduction in the load isbetween 8.00 P.M. to 10.00 P.M. The transformers nowhave spare capacity for releasing additional connectionsin the villages. Load on the feeder also reduced by over45 percent. Now the complaints of interruption in power

supply have minimized, as there is no overloading of thesystem. The bills of the consumers will also reduceconsiderably.

The conventional incandescent light bulbs emitmore heat then light, while fluorescent light bulbs last 10times longer and consume only 1/5 of the electricity.

Use of CFLs is beneficialfor environment also.

T h e D H B V N h a slaunched a massivec a m p a i g n , i n i t sjurisdiction, to convert itsconsumers from energywasting incandescentbulbs to energy-saving,long-lasting compactfluorescent light bulbs. Itplans to replace at leastthree conventional bulbsof each of the 18 lakhpower consumers with

CFLs by the end of December this year. The Nigam hasarranged sale of CFLs at half the market price at itsoffices and Customer Care Centers. Now under thecampaign, the officials have started going to villages withCFL sales mobile van to encourage villagers to replaceconventional bulbs with CFLs.

The illumination equal to standard incandescentlamp can be obtained from the CFL of about 20-25percent wattage. Therefore, CFLs can save as much as70 percent of electricity used for lighting. The amount ofelectricity saved by using CFLs in place of conventionalbulbs can save over 400 gram coal fuel per unit electricityand will reduce green house gases spewed by coalburning power plants.

Heating & Cooling Overview

Reduce Energy CostsAs heating and cooling system age, it can lose

its ability to cool or heat home. If current heat pump or

air conditioner is more than 10 years old; or furnace or

boiler is more than 15 years old, it may be time to replace

it with a more efficient system.

Inadequate insulation or

equipment installation may be

the cause of temperature

changes from room to room.

New system can help

keep cool in the summer and

warm in the winter while

saving money on energy bills.

Replacing current equipment

with an ENERGY STAR®

rated heating and cooling

systems can help reduce

high energy costs as much

as 10-30%.*

Plan for non-conventional energyThe Non Conventional Energy Department of

the state is coming out in a big way to produce electricityfrom non-conventional sources with public-privateparticipation. The department has already finalised sixbio-mass and two each small hydro andwind power projects for the state thusdecentralising power generation indefferent parts of the state. These tenprojects would be set up at a cost of Rs.3,000 crore and would help producenearly 700 MW of electricity.

The governments effort wouldnot only contribute in solving the powercrisis but would also protect theenvironment from pollution caused bythe agricultural residue. The governmenthas also not committed to provide anyland for these projects except for thesituation where the panchyats would give their land tothese projects with their wish. No land would be acquiredespecially for these projects and these would manageland on their own.All the bio-mass projects would put touse rice husk and straw, cotton stalk and arhar stalk forgenerating power.

The department has completed negotiationswith the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission(HERC) for determining the tariff for the power generatedat these plants. The government that had signed MoUswith the ten companies for setting up of these plants hadagreed that it would ensure that the power generated atthese plants would essentially be purchased.”

The Enercon India Ltd. Mumbai and Suzlon

Energy Ltd. Pune would invest heavily in wind powerprojects to be set up in the districts of Mewat,Mahendragarh, Gurgaon and Panchkula. The EnerconIndia plans to invest Rs. 790 crore for the biggest 160

MW wind power project at Silkoh inMewat and the same company would beinvesting Rs.395 crore on an 80 MWplant at Madhogarh Kudana inMahendragarh. The Suzlon Energy issetting up 100 MW plants with Rs. 1020crore investment at Morni in PanchkulaandAbheypur in Gurgaon.The government is bringing in bio mass

based small and medium power plants invarious parts of the state. These plantswould bring an investment of Rs.1039.67 crore thus generating 253 MWpower. ”If all goes well and these plants

are established within the stipulated period of two yearsthen it would help save the severe power crisis in thestate and the power would also be available in almostevery part of the state,”. These bio mass plants would beset up at Hisar, Sirsa, Karnal,Panipat, Mahendragarh,Kurukeshatra, Rewari, Kaithal, Yamunanagar,Faridabad, Rohtak, Bhiwani and Fatehabad. Theseprojects would be established by the consortium ofChemical International Ltd. New Delhi, Turoatom TPSprojects Ltd. New Delhi, Starwire India Ltd, Consortiumof Gammon India and Bermaco Energy Ltd Mumbai,Jyoti Biomass Energy Ltd. Hyderabad and TechproEnergy Pvt Ltd Cheannai. The Puri Oil Mill, Bahadurgarh,is setting up two small hudro projects at a cost of Rs.18.56 crore.

In order to ensure the compliance of the safety rules

specified under IE Rules 1956 (as amended from time to

time) for construction of Electrical distribution Lines, it

has been decided by the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran

Nigam that adequate guarding of LT/HT/EHT Lines over

the crossing be provided in the following

ways:-

1. The Crossing span shall not be

more than 80% of the normal

span.

2. Cradle guards be provided for all

crossings of LT/HT/EHT

Electrical Lines, so as use a

DHBVN offers O&M of distribution to panchayatsThe Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam

(DHBVN) has decided to offer operation andmaintenance of power supply system in villages to thePanchayats by appointing Gram Vidyut Pratinidhies(GVPs).

In view of provision in the Electricity Act-2003,National Rural Electrification of Govt. of India anddirections contained in the Rajiv Gandhi PowerVidyutikaran Yojna, DHBVN has decided to enroll grampanchayats as Franchisees for managing electricityoperations in villages. Village panchayat as Franchiseeshall undertake all electricity related activities like meterreading, bill distribution, cash collection, maintenance ofdistribution network, new connection facilitation andrecovery of arrears from connected as well asdisconnected consumers. For this work, the panchayatshall appoint an ITI trained person who will be calledGramin Vidyut Pratinidhi (GVP). DHBVN shall payRs.4500/- per month to each panchayat for hiring theservices of a GVP. For up to 500 consumers in a village,a panchayat can appoint one GVP , for more than 500 to1000 consumers, it can engage two GVPs and in avillage with more than 1000 consumers, panchayat canengage three GVPs. The Nigam will pay Rs.4500 for 500consumers, Rs.9000 for 501 to 1000 consumers andRs.13000 for more than 1000 consumers. The GVP willhave to wear the uniform for which DHBVN shall payRs.1000 per year.

The Panchayat will provide office room to theGVP while tools, ladder and other material required formanaging faults on low tension network andmaintenance work, will be provided by DHBVN.

DHBVN will provide high tension meters on

11KV at entry point into the village for the purpose ofenergy account. Panchayat would be given incentive forhigher energy billing, demand side management andcollection efficiency. At a later stage, bulk tariff modelcan come into effect for the franchisee.

For considering the present level, DHBVN willrequire account of 70 per cent of units received bypanchayat at input point of the village. For every 5 percent more energy account above 70 per cent, the Nigamwould pay incentive of Rs.500 more to the panchayat,out of which Rs.200 would be given to GVP. At thecollection efficiency of 95 per cent, Rs.500 and at thecollection efficiency of 100 per cent, Rs.1000 will begiven as incentive to the panchayat. The Panchayat will inturngiveRs.200andRs.400morerespectively to theGVP.

In the scheme, DHBVN has introducedincentive to the panchayats for adopting energyconservation policy. If a village shifts to CompactFluorescent Lamps(CFL) and efficient tube lights in allhouse holds and achieves the status of zero yellowbulb, the Nigam would pay a monthly incentive ofRs.1000 for one year, out of which Rs.200 will be givento the GVP. If tube well owners of a village shift toenergy efficient motors and pump-sets, furtherincentive of Rs.500 for 50 tube well connections,Rs.1000 for 51 to 150 connections and Rs.2000 formore than 150 tube wells, will be given to thepanchayat. In case panchayat collects penaltyimposed on village consumers on account of theft ofelectricity, the Nigam will give 50 per cent of therecovered penalty to the panchayat. For old arrears, inpermanently disconnected cases, the ratio of sharingproceeds will also be 50 : 50.

Instructions for DHBVN employees to prepare for franchisee mechanismUnder this scheme of Panchayat Franchisee,

every village has been considered as a business

unit for which it has been decided that one HT meter

on 11 KV be provided at the entry point of HT line

into the village for the purpose of energy

accounting.

In order to have proper energy interface, it has

been decided to institutionalize the following

activities.

1. Feeder wise survey will be carried out for the

identification of number of villages being fed

through the 11 KV feeder.

2. Single line diagram of the 11 KV rural feeders

depicting the names of the villages be prepared and

need assessment about the installation of HT meter

(House in Plinth mounted Pilfer Proof Metering

Cubical duly fenced) at the entry point of each

village for energy interface shall be envisaged.

3. Village wise detail of the installed capacities of all

the distribution transformers feeding general

service consumers and other transformers installed

for the other basic amenity requirements of the

village also be shown in the single line diagram.

4. In case where there is no separate link/T-off in the

11 KV rural feeder, feeding supply to the village

distribution transformers, the feeding profile of the

rural feeder be rerouted for the village so as to

create the energy input interface point for the village

where the HT meter shall be installed.

5. Village wise data base of the general service

consumers' vis-à-vis name of the consumer, account

No. of the consumer Category of the consumer,

sanctionedloadetc.shallalsobeprepared distribution

transformer wise so as to enable village wise energy

audit schemeof theNigam.

6. Feeder wise detailed estimates for providing one

HT meter on 11 KV at the entry point of HT line into

the village for purpose of energy accounting shall

be prepared.

Rs 125 crore plan for strengtheningT&D system in Bhiwani

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam

(DHBVN) plans to strengthen power transmission and

distribution system in district Bhiwani at a cost of Rs.125

crores.Under this ambitious plan, the Nigam will

construct 17 new substations of various levels and

augment capacity of 12 existing substations. The new

substations include a 220 KV substation at Isharwal and

a 132 KV substation at Haluwas to be constructed by the

Haryana Vidyut Parsaran Nigam. DHBVN will construct

15 substations of 33kV level at Siswala, Budhera,

Mandola, Pichopa, Pataudi, Kakroli, Chhapar, Singhani,

Kari-Dharni, Baralu, Alampur, Bapora, Hasan, Kheri

Batar and Chahar-Kalan.To strengthen power distribution system in the

district, DHBVN plans to rehabilitate 61 overloaded and

lengthier feeders by dividing each feeder into two or three

feeders of proper load and length. During rehabilitation of

the feeders, their complete system would be renovated.

To ensure regular and uninterrupted power supply during

fixed hours to the agriculture sector and the domestic

sector in rural area of the district, domestic and

agriculture load of 61 feeders of 11KV level would be

segregated at a cost of Rs.34 crore. The work has

already been allocated to the contractors and is likely to

be completed by the end of this year.DHBVN plans to set up 3000 new distribution

transformers in the district and augment capacity of 400

existing transformers of different capacity. During last

two years, it has added 2229 distribution transformers in

the existing dense net work. It plans to add power

distribution lines of a length of 1600 KM. In addition,

DHBVN will construct 488 KM distribution lines and set

up 586 distribution transformers under the Rajiv Gandhi

Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojna ((RGGVY).All the villages in district Bhiwani will be provided

high voltage distribution system (HVDS) or low voltage

distribution system(LVDS) so as to provide uninterrupted

supply at better voltage level. During conversion of the

present distribution system into HVDS or LVDS,

complete requirement of distribution transformers in the

villages will be met with.During last two years, DHBVN set up four

substations of 33KV level at Chang, Khanak, Nandha,

and Serla in district Bhiwani and augmented capacity of

10 existing substations of different levels, increasing

capacity of transmission system by 77 MVA. The Nigam

rehabilitated 13 feeders of 11KV level and their complete

system was renovated. Presently, the number of feeders

of 11KV level has increased to 190 having length of

distribution line of 12,100 KMs and 14405 distribution

transformers. This dense net work of power distribution

system is supplied power through 41 substations of

various levels.

Government promotes solarwater heating system

With a view to popularise the SolarWaterHeating System and encourage the employees toopt this system the Haryana Government has decided toprovide a subsidy of Rs. 5,000 per100 LPD systemsubject to the maximum of Rs. 10,000 upto 200 LPDsystem. A sum of Rs. one crore has been earmarked toprovide subsidy on the system during the currentfinancial year.

Previously, this programme will be implemented forthe employees of Haryana Governent residing atChandigarh, Delhi and district headquarters having theirown or government houses. Subsequently it would beextended to whole of the state.

As much as 1.50 lakh litres per day solar waterheating system had been installed in the state during lastyear which was 125 per cent higher than the year 2005-

06. This system has been installed at 74 different sites invarious industrial, domestic, commercial and institutionalpremises in the State.

There is a great potential of energy saving byinstallation of domestic water heating system in the Statebesides it would also be helpful keeping environmentpollution free. A 100 litres per day (LPD) solar waterheating system could save about 1200 unit of powerannually. So by installing 1000 such type of system couldcontribute to save 1 MW power during the peak load.Solar water heating system of 100 LPD capacityprevents emission of about 1.5 tonnes carbandioxideannually.

Haryana Government has decided to provide rebatein power bill in domestic sector at the rate of Rs.100, Rs.200 and Rs. 300 per month for a period of three yearsfrom the installation of the system.

Use of Solar Water Heating Systems ismandatory in industries where hot water was required forprocessing, hospitals and nursing homes besides all theresidential buildings built up over 500 sq yards land andabove falling within the limit of municipal committees andHUDAsectors.

Enthusiastic residents make Khedar a CFL villageEncouraged by impending visit of Dr. Manmohan

Singh, Prime Minister of India in their village, the

residents of village Khedar replaced all the conventional

incandescent bulbs with the energy efficient compact

fluorescent lamps (CFL) in their houses to make their

village a wholly CFL village. The Prime Minister

r e c o g n i z e d t h e

b e h a v i o u r o f

responsible citizens

and facilitated the

Sarpanch of the

village publicly. The

Prime minister had

visited Khedar to lay

foundation stone of

1 2 0 0 M W R a j i v

Gandhi Thermal Power Project on May 19 last.

A team of DHBVN officials, along with the village

Sarpanch persuaded the villagers to understand the

value of energy conservation to the Nation by making

their village a CFL village on the eve of the Prime

Minister's visit. Realizing importance of the occasion and

need of energy conservation at world level, the villagers

readily agreed to remove all energy guzzling yellow

bulbs and turned their village into CFL village merely with

in five days. The DHBVN officials managed to organize

camps in the village to sale CFLs at low price. The

villagers, in leadership of their Sarpanch, Rajesh Kumar,

alias 'Raju purchased over 5000 CFLs. at cheaper rates

from the camps organized in various Chaupals of the

village and also from

nearby town Barwala

to make their village a

CFLvillage.

After

replacing all

incandescent bulbs

w i th abou t 6000

CFLs, the total load of

the eight electricity

distribution transformers in the village reduced by

about 50 per cent during peak load hours in the

evening. The load of lighting alone in the village was

about 600 kilowatt which reduced to 120-150 kilowatt. It

was easy for the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam to

release additional connections from the existing

transformers, required in view of the Prime Minister's

visit, as the transformers got relief from the lighting load

during night due to replacement of conventional bulbs

with CFLs.The transformers now have spare capacity

for releasing additional connections in the village. This

has resulted in reduction in technical line losses and

incidents of supply failure that could have due to over

loading of system.

New Act likely to hit power thieves hard.The Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2007, recently

passed by the Parliament, is likely to act as a deterrent tothe power theft. The amended electricity act provides forstringent punishment against power theft. It gives moreteeth to the Center and the state government to actagainst those guilty of stealing power. The act gives jointresponsibility to the centre and the state to provideelectricity to all in both urban and rural areas.

The new act will definitely have an effect on thepresent position as now there is provision for strict actionagainst those indulging in power theft.

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam(DHBVN) has fixed an ambitious target to bring down

Aggregate Transmission and Commercial (AT&C)Losses by six per cent during the current financial year.It was decided in a meeting, to review development andoperation activities of DHBVN, held in Delhi on June 1last under the chairmanship of Mr. Ashok Lavasa,Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary, PowerDepartment, Haryana Government.

Mr. Lavasa said that level of the AT&C losseswas the single one yardstick of an electricity distributionutility and DHBVN had done appreciable work bybringing down AT&C losses by about three per cent lastyear. He was confident that the Nigam would achieve thetarget of further bringing down AT&C losses by six percent during this year. He said that financial performanceof DHBVN has increased considerably as monthlycollection of revenue during last month gone upto everhighest Rs.368 crore. During last year, there has beeneight per cent increase in energy purchase, ten per centincrease in billing and 9.5 per cent increase in revenuecollection over the fiscal year 2005-06.

Mr. Lavasa revealed that DHBVN has drawn anambitious annual plan of over Rs.876 crores tostrengthen and augment power distribution system in itsarea comprising of the districts of Sirsa, Fatehabad,Hisar, Bhiwani, Mahendragarh, Rewari, Mewat,Gurgaon and Faridabad.

He said that the Nigam planned to construct 37new sub-stations of 33 KV level and augment capacity of10 existing sub stations of 33 KV level, bifurcate 100lengthier and overloaded feeders under Rajiv GandhiVidyutikaran Yojna (RGGVY), segregate 490 feedersunder the plan to segregate domestic and agricultureload in villages and erect 358 new 11 KV feeders duringthe financial year 2007-08. With the completion of thisconstruction work at a cost of Rs. 37 crores, the capacityof transmission and distribution system would beaugmented by 385 MVA. Under RGGVY, all the ruralhouseholds, including those who are Below Poverty Line(BPL) will be given electric connections. He asked theofficers to complete all the on going works underAccelerate Power Development and ReformProgramme (APDRP) by the end of July next so thatmamximum and timely benefit for the state could beavailed from the new APDRP of the Union Government.All the works under RGGVY are to be completed by theend of March, 2008.He ordered to complete the work of

segregation of feeders and erection of new feeders bythe end of December. Segregation of domestic andagriculture load in villages would lead to better supply torural domestic and agriculture consumers and betterenergy audit.

Mr. Lavasa said that yet another major schemefor strengthening power distribution system in the area ofDHBVN was to provide High Voltage Distribution System(HVDS) and Low Voltage Distribution System (LVDS) inthe villages and urban localities. An amount of Rs.258crores has been earmarked for this scheme. This schemewould not only ensure a quality power supply in rural areabutalso promote efficientand rational use ofelectricity.

The FC (Power) lauded the initiatives taken byDHBVN for demand side management (DSM) whichcould minimize the inadequacy of power in the state. Hesaid that DHBVN was able to show the way to the powerutilities at national level. A provision of Rs. 160 crore hasbeen kept for demand side management activities. BYgiving impetus to demand side management activitiesthe lapse between peak demand and lean demand canbe minimized which, in Haryana, is high and due toincreased load during peak demand hours, the Nigam iscompelled to impose power cuts. This load can bemanaged by way of energy conservation.

Under the plan, the DHBVN would erectadditional 20200 Kilometre long power distribution linesand would add 6810 distribution transformers in theexisting dens network of power distribution. He askedthe electricity officers to ensure replacement of adamaged transformer within 48 hours. He said thatultimate goal of DHBVN was consumer satisfaction forwhich the officers should remain in contact withconsumers, work in transparent manner, keep informedthe consumers fully and behave like a commercialorganization.

Mr. Vijayendra Kumar, Managing Director,DHBVN said while addressing the meeting that theNigam planned to make all villages in its area CFLvillages by December end by getting replaced allelectricity guzzling old incandescent bulbs with compactfluorescent lamps (CFL). DHBVN has achieved manyfirsts in this directions. He said that support of thegovernment on demand side management activities ofDHBVN was very helpful. He hoped that the Nigamwould do commercially better and bring down AT&Closses by six per cent during this year and ultimately to15-16 per cent.

Text of speech of Prime minister delivered in conference of Chief MinistersThe Prime Minister, Dr.

Manmohan Singh has stressed theneed for a wide range of power sectorreforms including open access andcompetition. Emphasizing the role ofStates and Centre in this reformprocess, the Prime Minister suggestedthat inter-state transmission needs tobe truly opened up to competition anda separa te and independent

government entity be set up to control the National LoadDespatch Centre. In addition, he underscored theimportance of reducing transmission and distributionlosses, launching a crash programme for capacityaddition and taking steps to attract private investment.

Inaugurating the Conference of Chief Ministerson the Power Sector in Delhi on May 25 last, Dr. Singhcalled for a National Mission on Conservation of Energy.Urging all Chief Ministers to reduce T&D losses toacceptable levels, Dr. Singh said, “The Centre willsupport the initiative through a revised AcceleratedPower Development and Reforms Programme(APDRP) scheme through which we will rewardperforming states by converting loans to grants in anappropriate manner on achieving certain benchmarkresults.”

Stressing the need for a crash programme forcapacity addition aimed at eliminating shortages latestby the year 2012, the Prime Minister said, “The targetsare no doubt ambitious and a 'business as usual'approach will not suffice. We need specialized projectmanagement and monitoring capabilities to ensuretimely commissioning of projects.”

Urging States to continue the initiative on ruralelectrification on a war footing and reach electricity to allun-electrified villages by the year 2009, Dr. Singh said,“We, however, need to focus on development ofappropriate revenue models for rural areas, protection ofrural electrification assets and most importantly, deliverelectricity through the wires!”

The Union Finance Minister, Shri P.Chidambaram, Power Minister, Shri Sushil KumarShinde, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, ShriMontek Singh Ahluwalia, other Union Ministers, ChiefMinisters and Power Ministers from various States wereamong dignitaries present on the occasion.

Following is the text of the Prime Minister'saddress on the occasion:

“I am very happy to be here at this conference onthe power sector. This is a conference which we havebeen wanting to convene for some time now.And there isa reason behind this. In the last few years, our economyhas been growing at a rapid and impressive pace,averaging over 8.5%. Our manufacturing and servicessectors are growing even faster, logging double digit growthrates, and in the process, creating new jobs and livelihoods.This is a result of the favourable climate that has been

created for investment and enterprise in our country.However, there are some areas of the economy

that are a cause for serious concern. If one sits back andanalyses areas which can be potential bottlenecks in ourattempts to achieve rapid growth and get rid of chronicpoverty, one can easily identify availability of power asone of the key areas of concern. The others are therevitalization of agriculture and the availability skilledmanpower. Tomorrow we meet in the NDC to discussfresh approaches to revitalization of vital agriculturesector. Today, we focus on finding practical, pragmaticbut effective solutions to the problems in the powersector.

Electricity is vital for sustained economicgrowth. If we expect our economy to keep growing at 9-10% p.a., we need a commensurate growth in powersupply. The power sector has made good progress overthe past few years. It has also seen very significantchanges. Utilities have been restructured. A solidregulatory foundation has been laid. There is muchgreater public participation in tariff-setting. Tariffdistortions have gone down. Having done all this, wehave not been able to make a decisive breakthrough inensuring high and sustainable rates of growth of thissector and improving its financial health. Hence, theneed for this conference.

Today, the scene in the power sector does notlook very promising. We are having an energy shortageof around 10% and a peaking shortage of over 13%.There are states where peaking shortages touch 25%.Shortages of this magnitude can be a seriousimpediment to sustained economic activity. The problemhas been intensified by poor progress in additions tocapacity generation, in cutting down losses and inreducing wasteful consumption. Further, the cost atwhich power is being supplied is not on par with the costin other countries. I am, therefore, of the firm opinion thatthe Centre and the States have a common obligation tosit together and work out practical, pragmatic solutionsto all problems in the power sector - solutions for theshort term and solutions for the medium term.

I am very happy that my colleague, the Hon'bleUnion Power Minister has taken the initiative to organizethis conference with a focus on a few key areas whereconcerted action by us can make a real difference inyears to come. Traditionally, CM's Conferences in thissector have shown the way. The present regulatorystructure arose out of one such conference of ChiefMinisters. Yet another conference set the road map forfinancial restructuring of SEB dues. There are,therefore, high expectations from this conference aswell. We need to collectively apply our minds to resolvingthe problems of this sector and resolving them rapidlyenough to make power a self-sustaining, fast growingsector of our economy.

If one were to prioritize the issues to bediscussed today, I would begin with T&D losses. The

13

current level of losses in transmission and distribution,ranging between 30-45% in many states, threatens thefinancial health of this sector. No meaningfuldevelopment of power sector would be feasible withthese levels of losses. A large proportion of these lossesare simply due to theft. Theft is the cancer of the powersector. We need to come heavily down on it as it isseriously affecting the financial viability of the sector as awhole. Honest consumers who pay their electricity billsregularly bear the brunt of the cost of theft by otherunscrupulous consumers. Some states have showndetermination for controlling theft and have achievedpraiseworthy results. We need, therefore, to launch acampaign against theft of electricity and get offenderseffectively punished.

We need a focused effort to reduce T&D lossesand bring them within reasonable limits in a reasonablyshort time frame. Along with theft control measures, weneed to upgrade the transmission and distributionsystem in a time-bound manner. This is an importanteffort as the financial viability of the sector and making ita commercial proposition depends on success of thisinitiative. The Central Government would providefinancial assistance to States that are able to reducethese losses to agreed levels. I take this opportunity tourge all Chief Ministers to resolve at this forum to reducethese losses to acceptable levels. The Centre willsupport the initiative through a revised AcceleratedPower Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP)scheme through which we will reward performing states byconverting loans to grants in an appropriate manner onachieving certain benchmark results.

One area in which performance has not been upto the mark is in capacity addition. In the 10th Plan,capacity addition has been around 50% of the target.This reflects poorly on the planning process as well asthe implementation capability of the various agencies inthe States and at the Centre, who were entrusted thistask. I feel that the time has come when we need to takea very close and hard look at the process of projectimplementation and project execution in the powersector. In fact, time is running out, and unless we areable to arrest the growing shortages, the effect on oureconomy and our policy may well prove disastrous.

There is, therefore, need for a concerted effortby all the stakeholders to address this issue. We need acrash programme for capacity addition aimed ateliminating shortages latest by the year 2012. We needto take steps to meet these capacity addition targetswithout any slippages or overruns. The targets are nodoubt ambitious and a 'business as usual' approach willnot suffice. We need specialized project managementand monitoring capabilities to ensure timelycommissioning of projects. This conference shouldaddress this issue.

The investment needs, both in capacity additionand in upgrading the transmission and distributionsystems, are indeed huge. One estimate has put thefigure at over Rs 600,000 crores. This Finance Ministryand the Planning Commission would help evolvearrangements that would enable States to fund these

projects on a sustainable basis. Given the financialconstraints, it would be unrealistic to rely totally on eitherexternal or on public funding. There has to be a mix. Thepublic sector would have to generate a fair amount ofinternal resources. This will have to be supplemented byattracting sufficient private investment if we have to haveany realistic hope of achieving our targets.

If there is one factor which differentiates thePower sector from, say, the Telecom sector, it has beenits inability to attract private investment on a significantscale. I think that this is a serious issue that needs to beconsidered. Why are we unable to attract private investment?Are there systemic or structural issues that need to beaddressed in order to make the power sector viable andcapableofprovidingdecentreturnstoourinvestors?

The key to attracting investment, particularlyfrom the private sector, lies in ensuring open access toconsumers. It will encourage investment. It will also putcompetitive pressure on the incumbent utility. Somesteps have been taken to operationalise open access,though the extent of progress thus far has not beensatisfactory. Lack of competition results in inefficiency,which in turn manifests itself in the form of high tariffs,poor standards of consumer service and low internalresource mobilization of the utility. I will give you oneexample of what competitive tariff based bidding canachieve. A conscious decision to move away from costplus tariffs towards competitive tariffs in Ultra Mega PowerProjects isgoing to result in substantial tariff reductions.

Open access and competition are the key toimproved supply and greater investment. We have tolook closely at all regulations to ensure that there is'Open Access' in transmission and distribution. Statepolicy has to proactively encourage the utilization oftransmission and distribution corridors to ensure the freeflow of power to any consumer who may be willing tocontract for the power. States need to actively encouragebulk consumers to source their requirements fromalternative suppliers so as to increase the totalavailability of electricity in the system, especially for thehousehold and farm sector. To achieve this objective, thecross-subsidy surcharge should be fixed at a reasonablelevel. If you all agree, the Central Government canconsider incentivising this through appropriateallocations of unallocated power at its disposal.

Universal rural electrification is one of the goalsof our flagship programme, Bharat Nirman. I am proud totell you that our Government has made very significantchanges in the Electricity Act. We have recognized thatthe needs of the poor, rural people and agriculturerequire greater consideration. I must congratulateShindeji and the Chief Ministers for the ruralelectrification efforts under Bharat Nirman. You haveelectrified nearly 40,000 villages in just two years. This isin comparison to just 10,000 villages in the entire span of9th Plan. I hope we continue to work on this initiative on awar footing and reach electricity to all un-electrifiedvillages by the year 2009. We, however, need to focus ondevelopment of appropriate revenue models for ruralareas, protection of rural electrification assets and mostimportantly, deliver electricity through the wires!

14

The Power Sector in our country has come along way. The basic legal and organizational structure isnow in place. It is time, therefore, to move ahead. It istime, therefore, to get down to the task of improving theperformance of this vital sector. It is time to applyourselves collectively to ensure that power shortagesare a thing of the past. It is time to ensure that people getgood quality power reliably and at a competitive price. Itis time to see how we can reach any subsidies to thegenuinely needy and poor. Just as the states need tomove forward on reforms, the Centre too should reformitself. The Centre cannot become a votary of CentralPower Utilities and a protector of their interests alone. Itneeds to play a balanced role in the development of allentities Central, State and Private. The Centre must,therefore, lead by example. For example, inter-statetransmissionneeds tobe trulyopenedup tocompetitionand

a separate and independent government entity to control theNationalLoadDespatchCentreshouldbeconsidered.

Our goals cannot be attained without taking hardand immediate decisions for the larger benefit of thecountry and our citizens. In this context, on can hardlyover emphasise the need to have a national mission onconservation of energy in our country. If we fail to act nowon various aspects that I have mentioned, as we shouldensure, posterity may not forgive us. Our Government isdetermined to show the way and hold the hand of everyState of our union to usher in an era of uninterruptedpower supply in the country. We must act here and rightnow and I am confident that in this room today, we haveassembled a group of men and women whose mindset,whose motivation and whose collective wills can make agreat deal of difference to what happens to our economyand our polity in the next five or ten years. ”

No TV or internet network cables allowed on electricity poles

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam

(DHBVN) has decided to give one time chance to those

consumers who are indulged in theft of electricity to get

the irregularities regularized by declaring voluntarily up

to June 14, 2007.DHBVN has offered the voluntary disclosure

scheme (VDS) for theft or unauthorized use of electricity

for declaring irregularities, including tampering of

meters, committed by the domestic and non-domestic

consumers in its area comprised of districts Sirsa,

Fatehabad, Hisar, Bhiwani, Mahendragarh, Rewari,

Gurgaon, Mewat and Faridabad. They will have to

deposit a token money as regularization charges. For

declaring theft voluntarily, a consumer having single

phase meter will have to deposit Rs. 200 per kilowatt load

as regularization charges. While a consumer having

three phase meter shall deposit Rs. 300 per kilowatt load

as regularization charges. The Nigam would regularize

the irregularities with out making any theft case.For declaring theft or unauthorized use of

electricity, a domestic or non domestic consumer shall

have to apply to the Nigam's local office by filing an

application along with a photo copy of recent bill and

prescribed regularization charges. It is mandatory for

such consumers to clear their arrears, if any, to get

benefit of the VDS.In many cases, the irregularities may have

occurred unknowingly. Such persons can also avail the

opportunity to get things set right. If the meter of a

consumer coming forward voluntarily is not working it

would be changed at consumers cost.After June 15, in case any consumer is detected

committing theft of electricity, box of unique design of his

meter would be painted red for one year. If the consumer

remains honest for one year, the box of his meter will be

replaced with a box of normal design and colour. In case

a consumer is caught stealing power for the second time,

box of his meter will be kept red for two years and his

name and photo would be got published in at least five

The Dakshin

Haryana Bijli Vitran

Nigam (DHBVN) has

decided not to allow the

cable TV and internet

network operators to lay

their cables on its

electricity poles.These cables

are obstacle for the staff

climbing on the poles for

removing the faults and

s o m e t i m e c a u s e

electrical accidents to the staff due to leakage. The

cables are also obstacle to the installation of energy

meters being installed on poles and also give ugly look to

the electrical Network. Moreover, haphazard laying of

cables on poles create mess and it is direct interference

of the private persons with Nigam's system. There is

danger of accidents also to private persons climbing

Nigam's poles on behalf of cable operator.DHBVN would not allow laying of these cables

for TV and internet network on Nigam's poles in future

and the balance amount of the cable operators who have

already deposited the rent for the year 2007-08 shall be

returned after serving a notice of fifteen days for

removing the cables of the Nigam.

VDS for Theftnewspapers. Names and photographs of persons caught

committing theft will also be pasted on panels to be set up

in premises of DHBVN,s offices.In case of declaration of tampered meter, it will

be tried that the meter is replaced immediately. If there is

any delay in replacement then the consumer having

single phase would be charged at the rate of 40 units per

kilowatt per month and three phase consumer would be

charged for 60 units per kilowatt per month.

At the time of independence, India was having totalinstalled generating capacity of electricity as 1362 MWonly.Up to the year 1970 the installed capacity was 13,000 MW.Now total installed capacity of power is 1,26,000 MW.In China generation capacity has gone from 1850 MW in1950 to 5,08,000 MW in 2005.In India the per capita consumption of electricity is 606Kwh/year. At the time of independence it was only 16Kwh/year.In U. S.A. per capita consumption is 10,447 Kwh/year.In U. K. per capita consumption is 4,788 Kwh/year.India has total 5,87,000 villages.In year 1951 only 3,000 villages were electrified.In year 1996 the total electrified villages were 5, 00,602.In the year 1950-51 the total consumption in agriculturesector was only 4% that went up to 28% in 1992 and 31% in1998.The Industrial Consumption, which was 62 per cent in 1951,reduced to 40 per cent in 1999.Out of total generation of electricity about 72 per cent is fromthermal plants out of that 66 per cent is from coal based, 26per cent is from hydro electrical generation, 3 per cent fromunclear energy, 5 per cent from renewable energy sources.Rural Electrification Corporation was set up in 1969.National Hydro Power Corporation (N.H.P.C.) was set up1975-76.Regional load dispatch centers were formed in 1991.Power Grid Corporation was formed in 1992.State Electricity Boards were formed in 1966-67.Central/State Electricity Regularity Commissions wereformed in 1998.HSEB was unbundled into HVPNL/HPGCL in 1998 underReformsAct.Orissa was the first state of India which adopted reformsand re-structuring of Board.India has coal reserves with 8.6 per cent of total global coalreserves and is at the 4 position in the world.Oil reserve is estimated to last for only 45 years.

Some myths and wrong mindsets about computers

As per EINSTEIN theory

1) I am too old to start learning computers now.2) Computer relates to I.T./EDP department only.3) Computers are too technical and difficult to

understand.4) How a machine can replace/supplement to my

30 years experience?5) Nothing works well despite computers.

Consumers are incredibly, fast accurate & stupid.Humans are incredibly slow inaccurate & brilliant.Together they are powerful beyond doubt.

DHBVN revises Standard Operating Procedure for relocation of metersIn view of need to further streamline the

Standard Operating Procedure for relocation of metersso as to minimize theft of energy by tampering meters bythe unscrupulous consumers, theDakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam(DHBVN) has revised its guidelines.

The meters will now be fixed inmetal boxes by Metering and Protection(M&P) laboratory of DHBVN itself and theboxes would be welded shut betweensealing studs in continuous manner - andonly then handed over to the operationsstaff for relocation. The M&P shall provide20-30 feet cable length for incomer (forjoining with power line) and 3 feet lengthcable for outgoing (consumer end). Forthe individual, connection service cablewould run from the pole up-to input of themeter without any joint in between so thatothers may not tap the service wire beforethe meter for which there is noaccounting. M-seal would be used to avoid looseconnection.

While relocating the meters outside theconsumer premises the supervisory staff of theconcerned operation sub-division shall accompany thelabour of contractor and ensure that all meters are fixedunder their direct supervision. After relocation of meters,the house number and account number of the consumershall be indicated on the MCB invariably with nonerasable ink or paint. Special security seals shall now beprovided on the meter boxes by the operations staff ofthe Nigam.

Only six meters would be fixed on a single poleand it is desirable that out of the six each two meters

shall have blue, black and orange colour cablesconnecting the consumers' premises. In case, thenumber of connections near a pole is too many, then an

additional broken pole can be providedand used for hanging the meter boxes.

All the meters would now berelocated in metallic meter cup boards(MCBs) having push locking system,outside the consumer premises. All theMCBs of the meters shall be sealed by thefield operations officials immediately afterbox is fixed on poles, with numberedseals and proper record for the sameshall be maintained by the field offices in“ . On thebackside of the MCB the supervisor(JE/AFM) shall provide his signature byspelling full name in block letters and date ofsealingwithsketchpenornonerasablepaint.

All the already relocated meterswould be checked by the officials of M&P

wing of DHBVN. They would seal the meters or replacewith other boxed meters after checking accuracy toensure that it can not be tampered. In case any meter isfound defective at site then the field offices shall get itsworking checked by “ ” from M&Porganization and the same shall be changed within 48hours by a Defectivemeters shall be sent back to M&P for analysis into thecauses of failure of meter i.e. to analyse whether meterfailed on account of technical/environmental reasons ordue to continuous tampering efforts by consumer.

It would be ensured that there is no disturbanceor inconvenience to consumers during the process ofrelocation of meters.

The Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN)and the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) havedrawn up a comprehensive plan to strengthen the powerdistribution and transmission network in operation circleAmbala comprising Ambala and Panchkula districtsunder which Rs. 97 crore would be spend during thecurrent financial year. UHBVN has fixed the target ofreleasing 500 new tubewell and 160 industrialconnections. It has been planned to bifurcate / trifurcatethe load of 67 feeders of 11KV level. All 11KV feedershaving load more than 150 amperes will be divided intosmaller feeders of lesser load in order to minimizebreakdowns and interruptions in power supply. Besides,the work had been initiated to segregate the tubewell anddomestic loads of feeders supplying power to thevillages.

HVPN will set up a new 66 KV substation at CompanyBagh,Ambala City. The proposal of setting up new 66 KVsubstations at Naneola, Ojlan, Mohra, Ugala, AirforceAmbala Cantt., MES, Ambala Cantt., Sector 20,Panchkula, Sector 25, Panchkula and MES Panchkula

is under consideration. The existing capacity of 66KVSubstations at Mulana, Barnala, Sector 3, Panchkula,Sector 1, Panchkula, Industrial Area, Panchkula,Barwala, Sonda, Layakpur Basti and Kesri will beaugmented, he added.

The Haryana Power Utilities have commissioned a66KV Substation at Sonda and augmented the existingcapacity of 66KV Substations Adhoya, Barnala andRaipur Rani since March 2005. In order to ensure bettervoltage and uninterrupted power supply to theconsumers with better voltage, 1037 new distributiontransformers have been added and the capacity of 156transformers has been augmented.

The Nigam has also identified the localities in urbanarea and villages in these districts to erect low voltagedistribution system or high voltage distribution system soas to make the distribution system of highest standard. Inthe system energy audit would become practically easyand it would be easy to draw power unauthorizedly fromthe system.

Strengthening power T&D system in district SirsaThe Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam

(DHBVN) has proposed a Rs. 90 crore plan to strengthenpower transmission system in district Sirsa. TheHaryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) is consideringthe plan for approval after agreeing to it in principle.

Under this ambitious transmission plan, theHVPN would construct a 220 KV substation at villageChormar and a 132 KV substation at village Panjuwana.The 220 KV substation Chormar will have twotransformers of 100 mva capacity each. The firsttransformer of 220/132 KV level would feed power to 132KV substations Odhan, Assa Khera, Dabwali andPanjuwana. While the 220/33 KV level transformerwould feed power to 33 KV substations at Rori,Kalanwali, Khuinyan, Malkana, Desu Jodha, Karanwali,Jagmalwali and Kharian. Chormar substation will beconnected to 400 KV substation in Fatehabad through70 kilometre long double circuit 220 KV transmission linefor getting power. It would also be connected to 220 KVsubstations Rania and Fatehabad for feeding power.

With the construction of 220 KV substation atChormar, complete Sirsa will get benefit of improvedvoltage and regular power supply as besides feeding alarge area, it would reduce load from other substations of220 KV and 132 KV levels.

The power utilities have an ambitiouscomprehensive plan of Rs. 315 crore to strengthenpower transmission and distribution system in districtSirsa. Under this plan, the utilities, besides Chormar andPanjuwana, would construct 17 substations of 33 KVlevel of which have already been approved and sixother are likely to be approved by DHBVN soon.

All the 83 feeders of 11 KV level having ruraldomestic and agriculture load would be segregated so

11,

as to ensure separate distribution system for rural andagriculture consumers. The farmers as well as domesticconsumers would be benefited with the system by way ofregular and uninterrupted power supply. The plan willcost Rs. 49 crores.As many as 60 other over-loaded andlengthier feeders are being divided into feeders of lesserlength and proper load at a cost of Rs. 10 crore. Inaddition, DHBVN plans to set up additional about 3,000distribution transformers in the district.

DHBVN plans to overhaul whole of the powerdistribution system in district Sirsa by laying HighVoltage Distribution System (HVDS) or Low VoltageDistribution System (LVDS) in all villages at a cost of Rs.80 crore. The new power distribution system will be ofinternational standards. All of the meters are also beingshifted to poles from the houses of consumers at a costof Rs. 23 crore. This plan of LVDS, HVDS and metershifting is likely to be completed by October and Sirsa islikely to be first district of Haryana to complete thisprestigious project. By now, DHBVN has completed thework of shifting of meters in 46 villages. The number ishighest in Haryana. The demand side managementproject is also going fastest in district Sirsa as allconsumers of four feeders viz. Bhuna, Jandwali, DhaniLakhdi and Lakhoda have replaced all conventionalincandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps(CFL). Bhuna is the first CFL feeder of Haryana. In total,18 villages in district Sirsa have turned to the CFLvillages and the number is highest in Haryana.

DHBVN would release 529 tubewellconnections by June 15 and 3000 tube well connectionsduring next three months at a cost of Rs. 29 crore. Duringlast financial year, the Nigam released 2441 tube wellconnections in the district.

Rotator cuff injury needs early attention. – Dr. Ravinder ChadhaRotator cuff injury occurs due to a fall in a sports event asa result of repetitive movement and high-velocityoverhead motion (throwing). The symptoms are:

Pain (night pain) at the anterior, the lateralaspect of the shoulder. The patient complains of painwhile lifting the arms overhead; sometimes he/she getsup from the sleep and does not feel as strong as before.

Weakness.Limitation of active motion, especially overhead

activities.MRI examination confirms the tear, its size, etc.Non- operative management is often effective

for the treatment of rotator cuff injuries; a supervisedprogramme of physical therapy is the mainstay.

Avoid overloading of the rotator cuff muscles toorapidly; increase the workload to less than 10 per centper week.Treatment at an acute stage:

Rest from aggravating activities.Anti-inflammatory medication/ICE.Electrotherapies TENS/ultrasound.Local massage digital is chaemic pressure.Injection of corticosteroid Rehabilitation : The

main aim of rehabilitation is to reestablish the full rangeof motion of the shoulder joint, improve muscle strength,etc.Acute phase:

Wall walking.Pendulum exercises.

Pass i ve jo in t / scapu la r mob i l i za t i on /manipulation relieves pain and increases the range ofmotion. Second phase:Rope and pulley exercised.Isometric exercises against a wall.Scapular stabilization exercisesScapular punch, scapularelevation/retraction againsta wall and on a table.

Push-ups Knee pushup/wall push-up.Posterior capsule stretching, i. e. by moving the

hand towards the opposite shoulder and pressingbackwards through the elbow.

Isolated rotator cuff exercises with weights.Side-lying external/internal rotation.Rowing (with a stretch band) Forearm/

biceps/deltoid (up to 90 degree).Stretch bandexternal/internal rotationelbow at a

Ball exercises (throwing & catching a ball againsta wall with a bend arm).

The throwing technique should be evaluated bythe coach and appropriate changes should be integratedinto the rehabilitation programme.Whenever the symptom of a shoulder injury is noticed,early evaluation and treatment can prevent mildinflammation from becoming a rotator cuff tear.

Thousands of years ago, ayurvedic masters described"adhya vata" as a metabolic arthritis occurring due to theexcessive consumption of a diet which in modernparlance is called protein-rich food. Uric acid is thewaste product of the breakdown of purine proteinswhich. when not properly excreted by thekidneys, gets deposited in the joints. Thiscondition is known as gouty arthritis. Inthe present socioeconomic scenariowhen improper lifestyle and dietaryindiscipline are in vogue, Punjab tops thelist of states in India where raised uricacid and other related problems arefound in abundance.

Our modern diet typically doesnot consist of good acid/alkaline balance.Ayurveda believes that a healthy diet toprevent the digestive impurities andmetabolic disturbances should be around30 per cent acidic and 70 per centalkaline, but that .. in the exactly oppositeproportion in the meals eaten today. Not much attentionis given to healthy dietary combinations and a postdigestive effect of food items. A wrong choice of foodcoupled with faulty digestion can precipitate anyunderlying disease. Usually, an acute attack of gout ispreceded by an episode of dietary extravaganza which

URIC ACID : THE LIFESTYLE CONNECTIONSDr. R. Vatsyayan

substantiates the whole point.In the northern parts of India even the normally

eaten diet is viewed as conducive to raising uric acid.Excessive intake of red and organ meats, fish, egg,cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, beans, tomato, black

grams, whole meal lentil to an extent anddairy products like curd and cheese aresome of the food items which can trouble aperson who has high levels of uric acid.Similarly, alcohol, which is not only highlyacidic and puts stress on liver and kidneys,is usually taken with certain types ofsnacks already rich in purines. Itsincreasing consumption is seen as apotential reason to boost the prevalence ofuric acid. According to ayurveda, a highprotein and fat-rich diet coupled withsedentary l i fes ty le is a deadlycombination.

Most of the lifestyle diseases areinterrelated. The relationship among digestive disorders,stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, a raised colesterollevel and hyperuricemia is no secret. To remain healthy,we should not only try to learn the basic contributingfactors of the disease, but also adopt necessary lifestylemodifications, which is perhaps the best form ofpreventive treatment.

Carbon Credits: Relevance to Electrical Industry.Burning fossil fuel over the last

200 years, we have added 400Gegatonnes of Carbon Dioxide into theatmosphere. (1 GT= 1000 milliontones.) The plants have been able toabsorb only 200 GT and the balance isstill there in the atmosphere. This is theprimary cause of Global Warming and

Climate Change. The effect of Global Warming is nowfelt by mankind through climate changes, melting of icecaps in the Artic Zone, and rise in the sea level - reducingthe land area, while threatening marine life, etc.

The solution to Global warning lies in thedevelopment of the green cover or forest cover, toabsorb the excess C02, together with harnessingrenewable sources of energy in lieu of fossil fuel - so asto arrest the pollution level from further increasing.Sustainable development of our Nation depends uponthe source and cost of energy, as industry has becomehighly energy intensive. At present we are dependanton Grid Power, which is primarily fossil fuel based, andpolluting the environment.

Sustainable development of the Nation ingeneral and our industry in particular, can be achievedthrough opting for Renewable Energy programs suchas Wind, Biomass Solar, and Mini Hydel etc.Renewable Energy contributes both towardssustainable development as well as environmentprotection by sheer virtue of its inexhaustible nature.Renewable Energy Sources will offer long term EnergySecurity to our Nation as well as contribute toEnvironment through Clean Energy. In turn, this willsave for our Nation equivalent Grid power for which thecountry has to import fossil fuel - be it coal or petroleum.

Till recently, we have been speaking about theEnergy Security of the Nation. In his recent address ourPresident, Sri Abul Kalam has given a .new challengei.e. Energy Independence of our Nation by the year2030. This is possible only through harnessingrenewable energy sources as well as implementingEnergy Efficiency programs.

India has over 125,000 MW installed capacity inpower generation, and another 100,000 MW has beenplanned in the next five years- before 2012. Whilegeneration has a mix of Hydel, Nuclear, Wind, Biomass,and Thermal - the major contribution is still from thermalpower generation, based on fossil fuel, which is eithercoal or lignite.

The cost of power generation has been steadilygoing up over the years, with steep increase in fossil fuelprices. In addition, with depleting sources of fuel,energy security is also threatened. Further use of fossilfuel has been clearly proved to be the cause of GlobalWarming, and there is an urgent need to reduce the useof fossil fuel.

The need for energy efficient technologies, inDemand Side Management

Most of the states have been subsidizing thecost of electricity to the common man. While the cost ofgeneration is around Rs' 3.00 per unit on an average,the consumer pays as low as RsO.50 per unit.

All the above factors point towards the urgentneed for energy efficient technologies on the Demandside Management in Utilities. This leads to severalbenefits for various stakeholders.

The project developer has two options for theperiod of receiving credits: 1) Ten years without anyrevision in the base line. 2) Twenty one years with areassessment of the base line after every seven years.Possible eligible CDM project activities.

Wind turbine generators- for captive consumption/grid connected.Improvement of energy efficiency at the Utilities.Waste heat recovery programs.Fuel switching from fossil fuel to Bio fuel.Biomass Power Generation.Biomass GasificationBiomethanationBio fuel oil.Small Hydro Projects.

Wind Turbine Generators, being a renewablesource of energy qualify for Carbon Credits. Projects canbe either for captive consumption or Grid connected.Every MW of WTG, operating at 30% Plant Load Factoris capable of reducing approximately 2000 tons of C02annually, or can receive 2000 CERs annually.Improvement in energy efficiency.

Replacement of old motors with EEF motors.Replacement of old lighting with EEF lighting andelectronic chokesReplacement of old spindles with EEF spindlesReplacement of old electro mechanicai drives withinvertorsReplacement of old compressors with EEFcompressors.Replacement of old humidification fans with EEFfans.

A 100 MW energy saved will result in C02reduction of approximately 900 tonnes per annum andearn a carbon revenue of Euros 9000 per year.Particular relevance to the electrical industry.

Power has a direct equation to Carbon Credits.Every unit of electrical energy either saved, or generatedthrough renewable source, that contributes to reductionin C02 in the atmosphere, is eligible for Carbon Credits.At the present value of CERs , we can look forward torevenue of RsO.50 per unit of electricity thus saved, orproduced. And, that the credit will be applicable for aminimum period of 10 years, is an added advantage.

This has direct relevance to the electrical

industry, and in particular to manufacturers of energyefficient equipments, namely:

Energy efficient transformers such as low lossAmorphous CoreTransformers.Energy efficient motors with efficiency in the rangeof 94%Energy efficient lighting - both lamps such as CFLand LED, and Luminaries.Power factor improvement capacitors.Variable speed drives.Energy efficient pumps, and fans.Energy efficient air-conditioning and refrigeration(such as VAM)

CDM offers opportunities to developed nationsto undertake Clean Energy Programs in developingnations (developing nations do not have emissiondeduction obligation) and take credit of such emissionreduction to their account, and comply with the protocol.Thus carbon has become a tradable commodity.

Carbon emission - a major cause of globalwarming , is primarily due to use of fossil fuels such ascoal and petroleum in thermal power plants, andautomobiles. Therefore any project undertaken toimprove the energy efficiency in the utilities, orrenewable sources of energy or clean energy projectssupporting emission reduction, qualify for carbon credit.

As a result of the Kyoto Protocol, Carbon hasbecome a tradable commodity with an associated value.One tonne of C02 reduced through a CDM activity, whencertified by a designated entity, is known as a CER(certified emission reduction), which can be traded.

Revenue from CERs can form part of a project'sannual cash inflow, equity, and debt.

At present carbon is traded at around Euro 8 to10 per CER , and the prices can be expected to rise asthe deadline for meeting the Protocol targets drawsnearer. And so, the countries Icompanies save carboncredits to meet strict targets in the future.

As defined in Article 12 of the Protocol, CDM isdefined as a mechanism to address the followingobjectives 1) Assist non -Annex I countries in achievingsustainable development. 2) Help Annex I countriescomply with their emission reduction commitments. 3)Contribute to the uitimate goal of the: UNFCCC, i.e.stabilization of GHG concentration in the atmosphere.Examples of CDM project activity includes:

C02 displacement through use of renwable energyfor power generation (such as Wind Turbinegenerators) and thermal energy.C02 reduction through energy efficiencyimprovement.C02 sequestration through afforestation andreforestation.Landfill capture and energy generation.C02 displacement through fuel sV/itching fromfossil fuel to Bio fuel.

Introduction to carbon Credits.

16 Feb 2005 marked the coming into force ofthe Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC ( United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change). The Kyotoprotocol provides impetus for trading in Carbon as acommodity. This is driven by the fact that the Protocoldelineates the commitments of developed countries toreduce their GHG ( green house gases) emissions.

Apart from taking measures domestically,flexibility in achieving these reductions is grantedthrough three instruments - ET (emission trading), Jipoint implementation), and CDM (clean developmentmechanism). While ET and JI involve trading and projectpartnership among Annex I countries ( developedcountries and economics in transition), CDM envisagescollaboration of Annex I countries with developingcountries on GHG reduction projects.

With the Kyoto Protocol coming into force, thereis renewed vigour for mechanisms such as the CDM,which will not only help Annex I countries meet theirbinding emission reduction commitments, but 21soprovide for implenlenting projects that meet sustainabledevelopment criteria for non-Annex I countries. It thusbecomes important for developing countries,particularly India, to explore various opportunities foremission reduction that align with the nationaldevelopment priorities.

What is CDM?The Kyoto Protocol and CDM

While global warming has been a subject ofdiscussion and concern of the global community since1987 , it was at the Rio Convention in 1992 that a specialpurpose vehicle was instituted to study the impact ofGlobal Warming and suggest measure to arrest furtherdeterioration of the environment.

In the year 1997, at the Third Conference ofParties (COP 3), to the United Nations FrameworkConvention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in KyotoJapan a protocol was adopted, to reduce the carbonemissions by at least 5% less than the benchmark year1990. The Kyoto Protocol demands the developednations to reduce their carbon emission at least by 5.2%less than that of the year 1990, by the end of year 2012 -the commitment period starting 2008. The protocol alsodefines Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) tofacilitate the developed nations to achieve the objective.

The manufacturers of the above equipmentscan make use of Carbon credits either as a marketingtool for their sales promotion, or can also considercarbon revenue as an additional revenue stream for theirorganization. The underlying philosophy is that theownership of Carbon Credit will vest with the projectdevelopers and equipment manufacturers can at thebest be instrumental to the program.

In many instances, the credit through energyefficient equipments will be small and for the projectowners, it may not be attractive to pursue the CDM cyclewith high transaction cost. Here is the opportunity for theequipment manufacturer to bundle all their clients into asizeble project, and share the cost among the owners,by acting as a Bundling agent, and thus making CDMfeasible.

While the above equipments will formimprovement of energy efficiency in Demand SideManagement, there are equal opportunities available in

the Supply Side Energy Management - in particular, inthe programs of reduction of transmission anddistribution losses.

In order to encourage small projects toparticipate in CDM activity, the Executive Board hasformulated simplified procedures for small-scale projects,within reduced fee structure. Upto 15 MW renewableenergyproject is termedassmall-scaleproject.

Bundling of few small projects.The whole procedure of CDM involves high cost

of Preparation, Validation, Registration, Monitoring,Verification and Certification. In our Indian context evena small scale project is expensive. The CDM provides abundling of similar projects and shares and commonexpenditure among the participants.

The electrical equipment manufacturers,manufacturing energy efficient equipments areencouraged to integrate CDM in their business models,and bring Carbon Credits available to the users. Inaddition, they can boast of contribution to environmentby the measured quantum of C02 reduction throughtheir equipments.

DHBVN as a power utility company on its partunder the dynamic leadership of Sh. Vijayendra Kumar,M.D has initiated various steps for improvement inenergy efficiency such as use of Amorphous core T/Fspromotion of solar water heating system in domesticsector by providing rebate on electricity charges to theusers. The use of CFL has been made mandatory for theprospective consumer in respect of all the new CFLs inplace of conventional bulbs/tubes. Agricultureconsumers are being mobilized for use of energyefficiency motors having level of BEE by rendering themcash rebate. Besides, all these various awards and fiscalincentive have been initiated to promote energyconversion amongst the general public
