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.
