R E V I S E D 10TH PL A N D O C U M E N T
(2002-2007)
The
Bihar State Hydroelectric Power Corporation (BHPC) after being in existence for
two decades has reached a point from where it can make a two pronged move. The one
will lead to setting up of big hydel units, while the other will remain
directed at installing a series of small hydel plants in the State’s canal
system.
These
will be in accordance with the policy indications from the Centre which clearly
emphasize the need for narrowing the gap
between thermal and hydel generation and lay down that power projects should not be planned only a
couple of years before they are expected to become operational. This policy
also says that for their successful
commissioning during the 11th Plan, suitable actions should be
initiated on specific projects during the 10th Plan period itself.
The
BHPC has taken care to prepare a schedule by which its small hydel power
stations will become operational within 24 months from the day their execution
starts.
In
respect to big hydel projects attempts are to be made during the 10th
Plan period itself so that they certainly start generating power during the 11th
Plan period.
Projects
lined up by the BHPC at the end of the first year of the 10th Plan
period are as follows:
i) Big hydel projects - 690
MW.
ii) Small hydel projects -
150 MW.
The BHPC
registered under the Companies Act as an Undertaking of the Government of Bihar
in 1982 follows a philosophy 3D culture
of DEDICATION, DEVOTION and DISCIPLINE.
It is due to this philosophy that the Company is aspiring hard to achieve its
objectives of identifying potential of hydro projects, planning & executing
them.
The BHPC, in
view of the fact that at that point in time it had within its jurisdiction those hilly areas also which now from part of
the new State of Jharkhands paid equal attention to high, medium and ultra low hydel projects.
Efforts have been made to suit parameters and requirements of all three categories
of projects.
By the time
the new State of
Though the
creation of Jharkhand as a separate State reduced the area of its operation,
the BHPC took it as a challenge to set
up small hydel plants on the plains of
The BHPC
also started looking for locations where big hydel projects could be installed.
Its efforts have in this direction met with success to identification of four
sites in the District of Kaimur with a
potential of 240 MW of Power. For identifying such locations the BHPC had
commissioned the services of the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation.
The BHPC,
thus, continues to pursue the objective of developing the entire hydel
potential and ensuring proper hydro-thermal-mix in power generation in
The fund received
so far by the BHPC since its inception in 1982
for capital expenditure has been as under:-
(i) Authorised Capital - Rs. 100.00 Crores.
(ii)
Subscribed Capital - Rs.
99.04 Crores
(iii) As a loan from State
Government - Rs.
92.94 Crores.
(iv) Loan
from P.F.C - Rs. 7.07 Crores.
Besides above, the revenue against the sale of energy to the BSEB from BHPC’s commissioned projects has also been availed as and when received.
MANAGEMENT:
Affairs of the BHPC are managed by a Board of Directors headed by Chairman with the Managing Director acting as
its Chief Executive. A team of managers of different functional areas assists
the MD and the projects are headed by Project Managers.
The BHPC Board acts in accordance with the general policy guidelines
issued by the State Government through its Department of Energy.
The BHPC vide a
resolution adopted by its Board of Directors in 1997 decided to entrust
operation and maintenance of hydel plants to private parties on contract
basis. Dehri, Barun and Valmikinagar
plants are being managed accordingly.
As the projects are entrusted to contractors for execution on Trun-key
basis, only skeleton staff including Electrical/Mechanical Engineers and Civil
Engineers assisted by other staff have been posted to oversee and monitor their
progress.
The Registered office of the BHPC is located at Sone Bhawan, Beer Chand
Patel Marg, Patna-800 001
FUND
The BHPC is a
government company as all its shares are fully subscribed by the Government of
Bihar or its nominee. Besides contribution towards share capital, the State
Government has also sanctioned loans from time to time. Funds received from the
Government are utilized by the BHPC according to its own budget duly approved
by the Board of Directors. It has also obtained loan from the Power Finance
Corporation for meeting the construction expenditure of projects. In addition
to these, the BHPC receives subsidies from the
The authorised Capital of the BHPC is Rs.100 crores against which
Rs.99.04 crores has already been subscribed by the Government.
Three projects viz, Sone Western, Sone Eastern,
After the formation of Jharkhand the BHPC had to perforce concentrate on
small hydel power stations on all viable sites in

Against the above installed capacity, the generation at the above power stations is lower. Even in hydel power stations
mentioned above, due to shortage of water, which depends on the irrigation demand in the canal
system, the full generating capacity is
seldom achieved. Considering the installed capacity of hydel and thermal, the
hydro-thermal-mix is 10:90 against ideal
required mix of 40:60.

Even
as Government of Bihar and the BHPC were looking at the possibilities of executing this project with distinct components
of irrigation and hydel power generation,
the NHPC approached the Government of Bihar with a request that they be allowed to take it
up for execution. The Government of
Bihar agreed to this hoping that the project would be taken up in the
Central sector and necessary clearances would be obtained by the executing
agency, NHPC themselves. To ensure that
its execution did not face any problems with the
State Government at any stage it named the BHPC to be the nodal agency for this
project.
But
the Ministry of Power, Government of India is yet to notify this project under section 18A of the Electricity Supply
Act,1948 for execution under Central sector through the NHPC.
The
cost of the project has been estimated at Rs.1111.14 crores (at 1996 price
level), which includes Rs. 533.36 crores for irrigation and Rs. 577.78 crores
for power generation.
A
meeting was convened by the Member (Hydro), Central Electricity Authority on
25.11.2002 in
From
the minutes of the meeting it would appear that a number of steps are required to be taken before the Union
Ministry of Power could consider notification of this project under section 18A
of the Electricity Supply Act 1948 for getting this project executed in the
Central Sector.
In
view of this the Government of Bihar has approached Ministry of Power for financial tie up of this project with
international funding agencies so that this Project can be implemented at the
earliest. Delay in implementation of this Project is adversely affecting the irrigation and
power sectors of this State.
If
this Project is taken up in the Central Sector and a notification under section 18A of Electricity Act of 1948 is
issued by the Ministry of Power, a sum of
Rs.10 crore will have to be made available for this Project immediately.
B. Pumped

The
reconnaissance survey included Civil design, Geology, Hydrology, environment
along with collection of requisite data such as gauge and discharge, meteorological observations,
contour plans etc.
The
BHPC is actively examining the possibility of a joint venture with NHPC to accelerate progress on above
mentioned schemes. The NHPC is known for
its resource mobilisation capacity in terms of manpower, knowledge, material,
equipment etc.
Frequency
excursion in the Eastern Region is a well-known phenomenon. Very often for more than 50% of the time
during a month, the frequency remains
beyond the band 49 hz – 50.5 hz. On average for about more than 1½ hr.
a day, the frequency remains below 48.5
hz. and for about 6 hrs a day the frequency moves up beyond 51 hz. (EREB Report
for June, 2002). The damage to power
stations due to this range of frequency variation is very serious but unfortunately this is not discussed often.
Damage to equipment, due to abnormal
frequency variation, at the consumer’s end is another major area of concern.
NHPC in a recent paper has estimated that loss to the nation due to low and high frequency related energy loss is to
the tune of about Rs.3400 cr. If we add to this the cost of equipment damage at
the power plants and at the consumer’s end,
the amount will
be very high,
indeed. The pumped
storage scheme will utilise the
off-peak power to generate power during peak period. As a result, thermal
plants will be able to function as base load stations improving the PLF of the region thus bringing down the per
unit cost of generation as also helping
to lower the high frequency during lean hours and maintain correct frequency
during peak-load period. Supply of peak power will cater to the peak demand and will make the low frequency rise
to acceptable level during peak demand
hours. This frequency stabilisation, will not only benefit
The BHPC
has also requested the NTPC to adopt identified pump storage schemes of
However,
the following activities are yet to be completed before taking up the preparation of a DPR:-
(a)
Establishment of G&D stations and
rain gauge stations and taking
observations for the duration required for the necessary study.
(b)
Essential geological/geophysical
surveys for establishment of type of dam/barrage and its foundation and other
civil structures.
(c)
Required topographic survey in the
project area.
(d)
Establishment of essential temporary
infrastructure and access roads required for carrying out the work.
(e)
Preliminary environmental survey.
(f)
Analysis of hydrological data.
(g)
Power potential studies.
(h)
Preparation of cost estimate.
Keeping
this in view the BHPC propose to have DPRs prepared by the NHPC at an estimated
cost of Rs. 2 (two) crores.

The Energy
Department, Government of Bihar, after creation of Jharkhand, approached the Union
Government for an economic package totaling Rs. 16,825 crores. This included a
demand for RS. 360 crores for execution of 46 small hydel projects on the
State’s canal systems for creation of an additional power generation capacity
of 72 MW.
As all
major thermal and hydel stations fell within the territory of the new
state, the Government of Bihar decided
that the BHPC should take up execution
of 22 small hydel projects out of 46 in the first phase so that at least 25 MW
of additional electricity was available
within 24 months. The Government of Bihar prioritised these projects in the
following order:-

requested the Union Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) vide its
OM No.37/03/2001-III of 10.01.2001 for needful action in the matter.

Because of
uncertainties in respect to the Economic Package and technical difficulties in
obtaining subsidies from the MNES the
BHPC took up execution of six out of 10 projects identified for the
first phase with its own revenue surplus and with the hope that grants would be
made available for these in due course. These projects are – Agnoor, Triveni,
Dhelabagh, Nasriganj, Tejpura and Jainagara.
Renovation
and Modenisation of Running Units:
Hydel
power units at Barun (2x1.65MW) in Aurangabad, Dehri (4x1.65 MW) in Rohtas and
Valmikinagar (3x5 MW) in West Champaran
were commissioned at a time when the Bihar State Hydroelectric Power
Corporation (BHPC) was facing a serious resource constraint, to the extent that
a sum of Rs. seven crores had to be taken as loan from the Power Finance
Corporation at a prohibitive interest rate of 16.75% per annum.
The
BHPC, till date, have paid an amount of Rs. 14.0 (Fourteen) crores in servicing
of this loan and still carries a liability of Rs. 7.0 (Seven) crores on this
account.
With the commencement of generation at Barun, Dehri and
Valmikinagar the BHPC managed to tide over the financial crisis substantially
as they started yielding revenue. It is also worth mentioning here that the
first Bulb Turbine unit manufactured by the BHEL in
But it also needs to be mentioned
that although Barun, Dehri and Valmikinagar were commissioned, the BHPC at that
point in time was financially not in a position to have everything that a
modern hydro station would need. Work on the canal could not be undertaken as
per the DPR. The emphasis was to achieve
operation of these stations with the limited resources available at the time.
In fact, the BHPC has operated these stations with minimum essential operating
systems. These units have the potential to become more viable with
incorporation of certain features that would help augmentation in their output.
The AHEC, IIT
Roorkee had been assigned by the BHPC with the task to prepare the detailed
project reports for renovation and modernisation of these 3 SHP stations. In
September,2001, they submitted their report. The estimated cost in respect of
Renovation and Modernization of these three projects is given in two parts as

ADVANCE PLANNING
For exploration of
new projects, it is necessary to get detailed survey and investigation done for
all probable sites. It is also necessary to get the detailed project report
prepared for such projects which, after survey and investigation, appear
viable. For survey and investigation and for preparation of detailed project
report, therefore, sufficient funds have been provided in the 10th
Plan outlay.
The survey and investigation of six
probable sites on the Gandak Canal System in Gopalganj District is in progress.
It may be necessary to conduct survey and investigation of districts of Jamui,
Munger and Bhagalpur which have potential for small hydel power projects on the
canal system as well as for run-of the river projects. Provision for this has
also been made in the 10th Plan outlay.
Besides, the BHPC propose to
renovate and modernize the Kataiya hydel plant (4x5 MW) which is being
transferred to it from the BSEB. The BHPC will move the MNES for financial
support for the R & M scheme of the plant which has been running at the
derated capacity of one MW for many years.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF 9TH PLAN:
By the end of the 8th Plan, the BHPC had commissioned 3
Hydroelectric Power Projects with a total installed capacity of 25 MW and was
striving to get other projects executed through private entrepreneurs as per
the policies of Government of India. But the BHPC could not succeed in this
endeavour. Private entrepreneurs did
not come forward to set up power stations in
The Bihar State Hydroelectric Power
Corporation (BHPC) is
installing 22 (twenty two)
small hydel power
stations at canal
fall sites in
Sasaram, Aurangabad, Buxar, West
Champaran and Supaul districts of Bihar under the Government of India’s scheme
of rural electrification.
During the 9th Plan period the BHPC got the DPR for Sankh
Hydroelectric Project for an installed capacity of 186 MW prepared by CEA/CWC.
The project has now gone to Jharkhand.
Achievement in
2002-03
During
first year of the 10th Plan period i.e., 2002-03 the BHPC took
forward the activities/projects that were initiated around the end of 9th
Five Year plan. Among these mention may be made of the following:-
(i) Identification on the basis of
reconnaissance survey completed by NHPC
four sites for big hydel plants
in Kaimur district with a total capacity
of 240MW.
(ii) Commencement of execution of 5 (five)
SHPs (Total capacity 8 MW) on canal systems of the State utilising surplus
revenue of the Corporation.
(iii) With the completion of Agnoor SHP the BHPC
will be adding one MW capacity to the State’s power system.
(iv) Revival of the proposal to set up hydel
units (450 MW) as a part of Indrapuri Project (formerly known as Kadhwan
Multi-purpose project) with active support of the Central Electricity Authority(CEA) and the Central Water Commission(CWC).
(v) Arrangement for training of operational staff at the IIT,Roorkee,Alternate Hydro
Energy Centre (AHEC),Roorkee-247

The BHPC
has been drawing the attention of the Government of Jharkhand towards the fact
that it could not more ask the Government of Bihar to make financial
allocations for projects located in Jharkhand. It would, therefore, be
necessary that the Government of Jharkhand may make available to be BHPC funds
required for completion of these projects. This has also been brought to the
notice of the Union Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) and the
Union Ministry of Power. The BHPC hopes that funds would be made available soon
and the completion of ongoing projects would add an additional capacity of 35
MW to Jharkhand’s Power System during the 10th Plan itself.
Conclusion : -
The
Government of Bihar, after creation of Jharkhand, asked for an economic package
for the State from the Centre. The Energy sector’s requirement included in the
package was to the tune of Rs.16,825 crores. The requirement of the hydel power
development alone was estimated at Rs.930 crores.
The
Planning Commission after examining the proposal made the following
recommendations vide their U.O. no. 1-26/1-/2000-P&E dated 20.12.2002:-
“Although the State has
proposed a requirement of Rs.930 crores for Bihar State Hydroelectric Power Corporation for
taking up Small Hydro Projects for Rs.360.00 crores and Kadhwan Hydro Projects
(450 MW) of Rs.570.00 crores. The
Kadhwan Hydro Project appears to be a multipurpose project and the state has submitted the project report
to Ministry of Irrigation. A view on the project would take substantial time.
For the other small projects the reports
are also to be prepared. In view of this a provision of Rs.500 crores for a period of 10 years may be
recommended”.
A copy of
the above referred letter of the Planning Commission, Government of India is
enclosed as Annexure -IV
However,
the sources from which this amount was to be made available were not
identified. The BHPC, as also the State Government from different levels have
taken up this matter with the Union Government so that some of these are
implemented in the Central sector.
The Union
Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources (MNES) has been approached to amend
its administrative order no.14/2/2000/SHP of 19.05.2000 to pave way for release
of subsidies for
For big
hydel units like the Indrapuri Reservoir Project (earlier known as Kadhwan
Multi-purpose project) or at places identified in Kaimur ranges, the Union
Government has been requested either to arrange a tie-up with international
funding agencies or execute them as a Central scheme through Central Power
Sector Undertaking like the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) or the
National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC).
The
requirement of fund and capacity addition is expected as follows:-

Apart from 598 MW
installed capacity in the State, State will have also share in the Central
projects. As it is a fact that Eastern region has surplus power which is being
proposed to evacuate to Northern and Southern region, it would be advisable
that State should initially concentrate on development of transmission and
distribution systems not only to meet their existing demand but also to develop
the load in domestic, commercial and irrigation sector. It is also to be noted
that PLF of Baruni Thermal Power Station located in

contains two projects namely Barh STPP project, stage I, 2000 MW and Navi Nagar
project to be implemented by NTPC. As far as Navi Nagar project is concerned,
no action so far has been initiated by NTPC whereas Barh project in district
Keeping the above
factors in view, States should take up the power programmes as envisaged in the
proposal as per the following priorities.
Name of the Scheme Rs. crores.
1. Renovation and modernisation (R&M)
(i) Existing thermal power station at Baruni 300
(320 MW)
(ii) Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station
(existing capacity 2x110 MW) 120
(iii) Kosi Hydel Power Station19 MW 1
Rs. 421 Cr.
JUSTIFICATION
Barauni Power
Station is presently working at less than 15% PLF. Unit No.6 and 7 are not
working. With the investment of Rs. 300 crores in R&M, the units would be
in a position to operate at optimal load and PLF may improve to 40%. With Rs.
300 crores the cost per MW of renovation works out less than Rs. one crore
whereas for the new project of this size the cost could be around Rs. 12000
crores. Therefore this needs to be supported.
II. Transmission
& Distribution (T&D)
i) Transmission 739
ii) Distribution 250
These works need to be completed in there to five years
period so that the State could avail power to be purchased from surplus State
like Jharkhand and the Central sector. The completion of the above work would
also expected to reduce T&D losses in the State.
III. Rural Electrification (RE)
In the erstwhile
IV. Hydro Development
Although the State has proposed a requirement of
As. 930 crores for Bihar State Hydro Power Corporation for taking up small
hydro projects for As. 360 crores and Kadwan Hydro project (450 MW) at As. 570
crores. The Kadwan hydro project appears to be a multi-purpose project and the
State has submitted the project report to Ministry of Irrigation.
A view on this project would take substantial
time. For the other small projects the reports are also to be prepared. In view
of this a provision of As. 500 crores for a period of 10 years may be
recommended.
V. Generation
Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station (2x250 MW) was earlier
sanctioned by Planning com- mission in Dec. 1995 at As. 1452 crores. The State
could not take any initiative due to constraint of resources. Now the Sate has
proposed a requirement of As. 22.50 crores out of which initial payment of BHEI
could be around As. 200 crores. This need to be supported. This project could
be completed in 5 years period.
As per the above priority an amount of Rs.
4420 crores against the proposal of Rs. 16825
crores may be recommended for a period of 10 years as per the following
break up:
Rs. crores
i) R & M 421
ii) T&D 994
iii) Rural Electrification 255
iv) Hydro Development 500
v) Generation 2250
4420
As far as NTPC projects to be taken up to Navi Nagar and Barh
(Mega Projects) the funding will be from the Ministry of Power's budget.
Therefore the requirement of funds for these l, two projects have not been
included in out recommendation above.
The recommended amount of Rs. 4420 crores is basically to be
funded from State Plan as against Rs. 1032 crores in the 8th Plan and first
three years of the 9th Plan. So far the erstwhile

Power Secretary at Dr. K.L. Rao
Centenary celebrations on
Sir,
I have come
across the keynote address of Shri R.V. Shahi, Union Power Secretary to the Dr.
K.L. Rao, Centenary celebrations on the 14th July, 2002 which had
identified the challenges being faced by the power sector in the country as
also had outlined the strategy to deal with these problems.
Shri Shahi,
in course of his address had noted that peaking support had emerged as a major challenge to the smooth
operation of all regional grids in the
country and the load profile necessitated substantial load shedding
during peak hours and similarly backing down of available capacity during
off-peak hours. He had emphasised the importance of augmenting hydro capacity
to provide peaking support in view of the mismatch that existed in all regions
of the country between demand and supply
leading to precariously low frequency of operations.
The Union
Power Secretary had pointed to the economic advantage of pumped storage plants saying their costs
would vary to the extent of fuel cost of
pumping power. Besides, he had said, pumped storage capacity at existing
sites would also reduce the duty of
existing plants whose efficiency was on
decline due to ageing.
Shri Shahi
had, therefore, advised the NTPC to identify in every region, pumped storage
scheme and other hydro stations that would be developed by them. This would be
both in the interest of the NTPC as also for a balanced system operation.
I am happy
to let you know that BHPC as already got hills

NHPC expressed their willingness to take up this project as a multipurpose
project in the Central Sector Project
for which notification under Section 18(A) need to be issued by Ministry of
Power in favour of NHPC. The following actions are to be taken immediately in respect to this project, before
notification is issued by Ministry o Power.
ii) CWC shall write to the
involved States to give their concurrence for the project to be taken as
central sector project for execution through NHPC. NHPC shall provide all
assistance in expediting clearance from involved states as it was felt that
NHPC is having their local officers in the involved states. CWC should complete
this exercise at the earliest. CEA will review the process of the follow
up action again in January 2003 and
decide future course of action for early execution of this project.
