HARYANA POWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

closed

The objective of the Haryana Power System Improvement Project for India is to improve the availability, efficiency, and accountability of electricity supply in the state of Haryana through strengthening the transmission and distribution systems. There are three components to the project, the first component being transmission system strengthening. This component includes priority investments in 400 kV, 220 kV, 132 kV and 66 kV sub-stations together with transmission lines for system augmentation. The specific investments have been identified based on system load flow study carried out by Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPN) which analyzes growth in load and future generation expansion over a defined time period. The second component is the urban distribution system strengthening. This component will be implemented for each town through turnkey Supply and Installation (S&I) contracts which will typically include the following sub-components: (i) conversion of feeder network to High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) (to reduce technical and commercial losses); and (ii) segregation of industrial feeders (to improve supply quality and accountability). Finally, the third component is the technical assistance and capacity building of transmission and distribution companies. Substantial Technical Assistance (TA) is required for effective implementation of the project and to support institutional development, capacity building, and governance improvement.
