The
State Government is committed to provide adequate and
quality power to the industry. Today, Haryana’s total
available installed generation capacity is 4033.3 MW,
which was just 343 MW at the time of its inception.
The State Government has proposed to add over 3000 MW
power generation capacity during 10th and
11th Five Year Plan. This includes Yamuna
Nagar Thermal Project (600 MW coal based and 500 MW
gas based) and gas based Hissar Thermal Power Project
( 500 MW). In addition Haryana would also get a share
of 704 MW power from Central Sector projects Koldam,
Kahalgaon, North Karanpura and
Harb Project of NTPC and various Hydro Projects taken
up by NHPC in J&K and Himachal, which would be commissioned
during 10th and 11th Plan. Haryana
has also entered in to long term PPA with NEEPCO for
getting power from Tripura Gas Project and Kameng Hydro-electric
Project in Arunachal Pradesh. Haryana is also negotiating
power on long terms basis from projects like, Dhamwari
Sunda Hydro-Electric Project (HP), Baspa Stage-II, Karcvham
Wangtoo (100 MW) and other projects coming up in the
Region.
Special
efforts have been made to increase the Plant Load Factor
(PLF) for the existing power station by way of taking
up measures on renovation and modernization as well
as adopting good maintenance practices to improve generation
and efficiency.
A
massive investment is being made towards rehabilitation
and expansion of the power transmission and distribution
system.
Various
provisions in the Electricity Act 2003 on free generation,
open access and third party sale of electricity, regulations
by regulatory authority would also further boost the
power sector in the State in the near future.

of the fuel. Realising the importance of Gas as source
of energy, the State Government as a matter of policy
is encouraging pipelining and distribution of CNG/PNG
