UHBVNL has vide their Memo No. Ch-13/SE/RA/N/F-63/Vol.II dated 21.7.2005 has submitted that the DSM Cell has been established. The report indicating the activities carried out on Demand Side Management during FY 2004-05, as submitted to the Commission, does not seem to be adequate and many more activities needs to be undertaken for effective demand side management. Some of the states like Rajasthan has done a lot of work in this regard. UHBVNL should take advantage of their experiences and try to implement them in their area of supply.
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.
