With the unbundling of
D.V.B. on 01.07.2002, two companies came into existence under
Genco :
The Power demand in the
Capital City is increasing with the growth of population as
well as living standard and commercialization. The
unrestricted power demand in the summer of year 2000 was 3000
MW and increasing every year @ 6 to 7%. In 2005-2006, it is
expected to be 4078 MW and by 2009-10 it will reach 5075
MW.
Erstwhile DVB's own generation from RPH, I.P.
Station and Gas Turbine Power Station had been around 350-400
MW and Badarpur has been supplying 600-700 MW and the balance
was met from the Northern Grid and other sources.
To
bridge the gap between demand and supply and to give reliable
supply to the Capital City, Delhi Govt. had set up 330 MW
Pragati Power Project on fast track basis. To cut down the
project cycle duration, turnkey contract was awarded to M/s
BHEL in May 2000 based on similar project executed by BHEL at
Kayamkulam (owned by NTPC). To further ensure reliable and
smooth operation of the plant, experience of NTPC was utilized
by retaining them as engineering consultant and specification
of the Kayamkulam Project were
adopted. |
