(d) Methodology
Power Generation:
Data on generation of electricity originates from individual power stations and
data on generated power is supplied to the HP State Electricity Board Ltd.
(HPSEB Ltd.). This is done on-line on a daily basis. The power generation
statistics are compiled by HPSEB on a monthly basis and provided to the
Department of Power. In case of emergencies the data on generation is provided
to the Department of Power on a daily basis.
Power Distribution:
The billing offices in distribution centers receive reports on power consumption
by consumers from the meter readers. This reporting is done on a bimonthly
basis. Though billing to consumer is done once in two months, about half of them
are covered in a month, and another half in next month. Hence power
consumption statistics is generated every month.
The billing offices compile statistics on consumption of electricity and transmit it
to their respective distribution centres from where it is sent to HPSEB Ltd.
