10.4 THE NORTH EASTERN ELECTRIC<br />
POWER CORPORATION LTD.<br />
(NEEPCO)<br />
The North Eastern Electric Power<br />
Corporation Ltd. (NEEPCO) was constituted<br />
in 1976 under the Company’s Act 1<strong>95</strong>6 with<br />
the objective <strong>of</strong> developing the large <strong>power</strong><br />
potential <strong>of</strong> the North Eastern Region <strong>of</strong> the<br />
country.<br />
10.4.1 Mission<br />
To harness the <strong>power</strong> potential <strong>of</strong> the North<br />
Eastern Region through planned development<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>power</strong> generation projects.<br />
10.4.2 Objectives<br />
(i) In consonance with the Corporation’s mission<br />
and directives issued by the Government from<br />
time to time, the Corporation’s objectives are<br />
as follows :<br />
1. To add to the <strong>power</strong> generating capacity<br />
in the North Eastern Region by<br />
installing hydro and thermal <strong>power</strong><br />
plants within optimum time schedule<br />
and cost.<br />
2. To ensure optimum utilization <strong>of</strong><br />
commissioned Generation Projects so<br />
as to achieve targets projected<br />
exceeding the designed capacity based<br />
on the availability <strong>of</strong> water.<br />
3. To generate adequate internal resources<br />
by ensuring justifiable return on<br />
investment and to continue sustained<br />
efforts to obtain the receivables from<br />
State Electricity Boards/Departments.<br />
4. To undertake long term feasibility<br />
studies for optimum development <strong>of</strong><br />
hydro <strong>power</strong> resources <strong>of</strong> river basins<br />
in North Region with a view to improving<br />
the share <strong>of</strong> hydro in country’s <strong>power</strong>mix.<br />

(ii) Out <strong>of</strong> a total installed capacity <strong>of</strong> 1141 MW in<br />
the Region, NEEPCO is contributing 150 MW<br />
through its Kopili Hydro Electric Projects under<br />
O & M. Inspite <strong>of</strong> having only 15% <strong>of</strong> the total<br />
installed capacity in the region the Corporation<br />
has been able to meet more than 30% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
peak demand/ energy needs <strong>of</strong> the region. The<br />
Corporation proposes a capacity addition <strong>of</strong> 635<br />
MW within the 8th Five Year Plan in a phased<br />
manner through its projects under execution and<br />
another 320 MW in the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 9th Five<br />
