1.16 Computerization in CEA
The use of computers for power sector
development was started in CEA in mid sixties.
In the initial years, the usage was mainly for
power system planning studies. However,
over the years computerization has pervaded
all activities of CEA. A number of software
packages have been procured (refer Software
facilities) and in-house expertise developed. The
hardware facilities have also been enhanced.
All the technical Divisions and the
administrative sections have been provided with
computers to facilitate computerization of all
the works in CEA. All the desktop computers
of CEA office at Sewa Bhawan and West Block-
II have been interconnected through wired as
well as wireless LAN. The important statistics
/ data / information of CEA is uplinked on
the website of Central Electricity Authority
(www.cea.nic.in) for global access. The bilingual
