B) OBJECTIVE:

The Corporation's objectives are as follows:

  1. Short-term objective:
  2. To commission Kopili Hydro Electric Project-Stage-11 (25 MW) in Assam during – 2003 - 2004 and Tuirial Hydro Electric Project (60 MW) in Mizoram in 2006-07.

  3. Long term objectives:
  4. To take up execution of the following power projects for capacity addition in the N.E. Region during the Xth, XIth and XIIth plans.

  5. Optimum utilization of the available capacity
  6. To ensure optimum utilization of the available capacity considering the envisaged load demand in the North Eastern Region, a Generation of 2075 MU has been assessed against Hydro Projects at 85% machine availability and 2060 MU against Thermal Projects at 86% machine availability.

  7. Maximizing the profitability

As the power generated by NEEPCO is not being fully absorbed by the NER constituent states, it contemplates to work towards load development in the NER, locate markets outside NER, and market the power generated by it outside the region to improve the financial performance of the Corporation.

NOTE REGARDING LOW GENERATION

    1. The ratio of peak load and off peak load in the N.E. Region is 2:1.

    2. All the Gas Based Power Stations of NEEPCO are designed for 6000 operation hours at 68.49% PLF. But the load curve of the NER as communicated by NERLDC hardly indicates any demand during the off peak hours, even requirement of power during peak hours is not substantial and consistent. Maximum peak is observed to be for an hour or so.

Consequently as mentioned above, the power from the hydro power station of NEEPCO also could not be utilised fully during summer season commesurate to its available capacity.

 

PART-III

DELEGATION OF POWER

Shri RV Shahi , Secretary MOP(Left) & Shri SC Sharma, CMD, NEEPCO (right) signing MOU, 2003 - 2004

The Government is requested to delegate all necessary powers as per the guide lines/instruction issued in this regard from time to time, applicable to similar Corporations.

PART - IV

ASSISTANCE FROM GOVERNMENT

 

The following Government Assistanae shall be required with a view to enable the Corporation to achieve its both short and long term objectives.

    1.Law and order remains a serious problem in the N.E. Region. NEEPCO finds it difficult to execute the project works in an insecure atmosphere for the work force. Hence the Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Development of N.E. Region and Ministry of Power, Government of India are requested to provide adequate security coverage for NEEPCO's vital installations .and projects under execution/New schemes and their respective personnel working in the projects/plants. NEEPCO expects the respective State Governments to maintain law and order for smooth Operation & Maintenance of commissioned projects and execution of on-going project works.

    2.NEEPCO is of the view that security cost should not be loaded to project cost as it could make the tariff unviable. Already the North East States are unable to make payments for their power dues on account of their fragile finances, and they will not be able to afford high tariff. NEEPCO expects the law and order agencies of the State Governments and the Government of India to bear the expenditure on security and law and order.

    3. The cost of Hydro Electric Project in the N.E. Region is higher than similar projects in other parts of the Country because of the security cost due to prevailing insurgency problem in the region, construction cost of long access road, geological problems due to young Himalayan geology and less working period due to prolonged monsoon. Cost of road construction is also more due to rough terrain and poor geology. Cost of access road should be borne by the Ministry of Surface Transport, Government of. India.

    4. The Government would assist NEEPCO in obtaining soft long term bilateral and multilateral external financial assistance for executing projects in the North East.

    5. The Government will assist NEEPCO in imparting overseas professional training to its Executives under various training schemes of the Government of India.
