CHAPTER 2.0<br />
2.0 OVERVIEW OF PUNJAB POWER SYSTEM<br />
2.1 The Transmission functions in <strong>Punjab</strong> <strong>Power</strong> System are performed by<br />
<strong>Punjab</strong> State Transmission Corporation Ltd. (PSTCL) whereas Generation &<br />
Distribution functions are performed by <strong>Punjab</strong> State <strong>Power</strong> Corporation Ltd.<br />
(PSPCL). <strong>Punjab</strong> <strong>Power</strong> System is operative with a number of generating<br />
stations both Thermal and Hydel (Total Gross Generation = 3650 MW<br />
approx) in the state sector owned by PSPCL. Beside this <strong>Punjab</strong> also draws<br />
its share from BBMB Hydro-Generating stations through BBMB Transmission<br />
network.The <strong>Punjab</strong> network is also linked with 400 KV PGCIL network at<br />
Malerkotla, Moga, Patiala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar to draw Central<br />
sector share.<br />
2.2 The transmission network of <strong>Punjab</strong> consists of 132 KV & 220 KV network<br />
spread all over the state. Presently, a major 400 KV transmission network in<br />
PSTCL is also in advanced stage of commissioning mainly for the evacuation<br />
of power from upcoming Thermal <strong>Power</strong> Stations in Private sector (IPPs) at<br />
Talwandi Sabo and Rajpura. The transmission map of <strong>Punjab</strong> 132 KV &<br />
above is attached as Appendix II<br />
2.3 The <strong>Punjab</strong> has transformation capacity of 20800MVA approx. and 220 kV &<br />
132 kV transmission lines of 8200 Ckt. Km (as on 31.07.12).There is a plan<br />
to add further transformation capacity of 2000MVA during 2013-14 and<br />
2000MVA in 2014-15. The present transformation capacity of ICTs located in<br />
<strong>Power</strong>grid Grid Sub-stations in <strong>Punjab</strong> is also being augmented under Inter<br />
state system strengthening scheme undertaken by <strong>Power</strong> grid.<br />
Corresponding to these transformation capacity additions, new transmission<br />
links are being added/planned by PSTCL at respective Grid sub stations.<br />
