The Commission in its order on ARR for D&RS business for FY 2003-04 had directed the licensee to establish a DSM Cell for proper monitoring of such activities. An annual report was required to be submitted to the Commission by 30th April, every year.
The above direction was reiterated in Commission’s order on ARR for D&RS business for FY 2004-05 dated 20-4-2005.
Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitaran Nigam Limited has not submitted any report. In the power shortage scenario, this would prove to be the best tool to manage the situation. Some of the states like Rajasthan have done a lot of work in this area. It would be beneficial to take lessons from such states and implement in Haryana.
DHBVNL is once again directed to comply with the above direction of the Commission.
The Commission observes that the licensee has not taken steps to install capacitors matching with the capacity addition in its system and, also, not properly maintaining the existing capacitors in its system resulting in to excessive drawal of reactive power from the state/regional grid. This has resulted into heavy penalty being paid by Haryana to the regional pool. The Commission therefore directs the licensee to prepare a comprehensive plan including its implementation schedule to adequately compensate the system and submit the same within six months of this order.
