OTHER ACTION POINTS
In the subsequent chapters on generation, transmission and distribution, certain areas
requiring attention have been identified for the respective utilities to deliberate upon
and take suitable necessary actions. These are listed below:
GSECL
• Likely difficulties in achieving improvement in PLF of old thermal generating
plant and remedies thereof;
• Risks associated with old generating units not achieving desired levels of
performance even after carrying out Life Extension (LE) and R&M works: and
• Risks of non availability of required quantity and quality of coal for thermal
stations.
GETCL
• Conversion of a single 66 kV meshed network for entire State into four meshed
networks one each for individual distribution company’s area; and
• Providing precision energy meters and high accuracy instrument transformers in
generator transformer bays in EHV substations for measurement of energy
delivered on the busbar wherever presently such provisions do not exist.
DGVCL/MGVCL/PGVCL/UGVCL
• The programme of fixing energy meters on distribution transformers and
conducting DTC-wise energy accounting will also need preparation of DTC-wise
route sequences; and
• While forming four DISCOMs, Government of Gujarat had considered making
provision for separate electricity companies for the major cities of Vadodara,
Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar and Junagad. It would be advantageous for the
DISCOMs to start maintaining separate accounts for such cities in addition to the
consolidated account of the concerned DISCOM.
