Piyush Goyals – Long Power Cuts, High Cost, 1.1% Vill Electrified
May21, 2016 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com

I met him Piyush Goyal three years ago in run up to the 2014 LS
Elections and told him that most of his claims on River Linking are
FALSE – we exchanged cards – I sent him details but he didn’t
acknowledge. MoP ought to Focus on Efficiency & Maintenance.

BRPL – 10,000 MW, Peak Load 2570 MW – Annual Average 1300 MW

Just at the time PIB Press Conference was interrupted by power cuts in
spite of 2X500 KVA and 2X750 KVA standby gensets. We in my block were
also experiencing Several Unscheduled Power Cuts plus Brief Tap
Changing interruptions.

One of the Circuit Breaker was tripling due to Overloading. BRPL
average electricity billed is less than 10.5 BU approx – therefore at
Distribution Transformer level average load is just 1300 MW only but
has Connected Load of 10,000 MW approximately [9000 MW March2015] and
peak load yesterday was 2570 MW.

I was found after 4 days that another Lane was experiencing TRIPPINGS
for hours until some staff would Switch on The Breaker – On Fourth day
BRPL decided to Take Out The Breaker and Directly Connect the LT
section serving about 50 Consumers with over 1200 MW of Connected
Load. Unskilled Staff had no Special Tools and Just Taking out Damaged
Breaker 2 Hours when new CB could have been replaced in 15 minutes
max.

68,851 MW Capacity Off Line, Not Serving May Peak Demand

In 2 years MoP added 46,543 MW But in last 4 Years of 12th Plan 98,182
MW was added.

All India avg load is 124,510 MW, has 298,059 MW Gen. Capacity
[March2016]. India required 100,000 MW Load served by 150,000 MW
Capacity.

When Max Demand growth in 4 years of 12th Plan was just 21,763 MW –
MoP installed 98,182 MW of New Generation Capacity and as Generation
growth was 26.28% Capacity growth was 49.12% in this period pointing
to GROSS MISMANAGEMENT.

Growth- Capacity Added 23.4%, Online 17.4%, Outages 35%, Generation 15%

May2016 Monitored Generation Capacity 302,833 MW which two years ago
was 245,393 MW [23.4%]. On May14 2014 Capacity On Line was 162,910 MW
and Outages 50,963 MW, On May17,2016 Capacity On Line was 191,279 MW
[+17.4%].  Outages were 68,851 MW [+35%]. Generation was 126,680 MU in
April01 to May14, 2014 period, this for current year was 145,765 MU –
[+15%]

Last two years MoP electrified 7,108 Villages which is just 1.1% of
all villages and population served could even be less say 0.2%.
