Transmission & Transformation
scheme
Considering the rapid growth of load
demand in the State, Meghalaya State Electricity Board
(MeSEB) formulated a scheme for taking up the augmentation
and construction work of 132KV/220KV Grid sub-stations
and transmission lines.
The schemes being implemented are as follows:
| A. |
Construction of the 132 KV transmission
line from Sarusajai in Assam to Byrnihat in Meghalaya
|
| |
The project cost of the line
is Rs. 1045.00 lakhs and is funded under Non-lapsable
Central Pool of Resources for North Eastern Region
(NLCPR). Dept. for development of NorthEastern Region
(DONER) at the cost of Rs. 9.78 crores approved
the project. The Meghalaya portion of the line has
been completed and commissioned on 20-05-05. The
Assam portion of the line is being taken up by Assam
State Electricity Board (ASEB) and the work is in
progress. This line on completion will enable the
state to draw an additional 80 MW of power. |
| B. |
Construction of the 132 KV transmission
line from the Me.S.E.B. Sub-Station at Khliehriat
to PGCIL Sub-Station at Khliehriat
|
| |
The project is funded under
Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources for North
Eastern Region (NLCPR) at the estimated cost of
Rs. 286.00 lakhs. The work is in progress. |
| C. |
Construction of the 132 KV double
circuit transmission line from Agia in Assam to
Nangalbibra in Meghalaya |
| |
The revised project cost of
the line is Rs. 4693.65 lakhs. The NEC funds the
project. The forest clearance for both the Meghalaya
and Assam portion of the line had been obtained
and forwarded to the North Eastern Council (NEC).
The Eleventh Finance Commission (EFC) memorandum
for the construction of line had been submitted
to the North Eastern Council (NEC) in January 2006.
|
| D. |
Construction of
220 KV transmission line from Misa in Assam to Byrnihat
in Meghalaya along with the construction of the
220 KV/132 KV, 1 x 100 MVA at Byrnihat |
| |
The Detailed Project Report
was cleared by Central Electricity Authority (CEA)
and the work is to be executed by a Joint Venture
between Me.S.E.B. and Power Grid Corporation of
India Limited (PGCIL). MOU for this project was
signed on the 08-09-05-. The project is scheduled
to be completed by March 2009 and the project cost
of the scheme is Rs. 243 Crores. |

NEIGHRIMS was commissioned on 6th May 2005 |
| F. |
Construction of the 132 KV/33
KV Sub-Station at Norbong, Byrnihat |
| |
The project cost of the work
is Rs. 465.00 lakhs. The work is in progress. |
| G. |

work is in progress. |
| Other transmission
line works being taken up are |
| A. |
LILO of 132 KV Stage IV - Sarusajai
at Umtru Power Station
NEC under NEC 10th Plan at the project cost of Rs.

| Sub-Transmission
and distribution schemes |
| A. |
Distribution master plan |
| |
This project is taken up in
order to improve the existing transmission system
and to provide quality and reliable power to the
people of the state. The project will also enable
additional sale of energy and reduce the energy
losses that in turn would generate additional revenue
income to the Board. The project is funded under
Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources for North
Eastern Region (NLCPR) at an approved cost of Rs.
24.00 crores. The target date of completion of the
