The Eastern Regional Power Committee (ERPC) agreed to implement power transmission projects valued at USD820 million in the eastern state of Orissa. The approved projects include the development of substations of 400/220 kilovolts (kv) each in Bolangir, Keonjhar and Sundergarh, the installation of 2 x 315 megavolt-ampere (MVA) 400/220 kV substation in Behrampur, the linking of the existing 400-kV substation in Duburi with the central transmission network, and the development of 765/400-kV pooling stations in Angul, Dhenkanal and Jharsuguda and linking them to 765-kV transmission lines.
The cost of the project is to be funded by Grid Corporation of Orissa (GRIDCO), that is expected to be minimal. GRIDCO will be able to evaculate surplus power to the national grid at an additional affordable cost.
The ERPC comprises representatives from the eastern states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Sikkim, and West Bengal, and the electricity utility Damodar Valley Corporation (Kolkata). While development of intrastate and interstate transmission infrastructure has been a long-standing issue, no progress had been made because of the lack of cooperation among the states.
