Order of the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission on the application submitted by India Power Corporation Limited (I PCL) for approval of capital investment proposal for implementation of SCAD A system at IPCL's distribution area covering 220/33 kV J K Nagar sub-station and its 9 nos. 33/11 kV downstream substations
Facts in brief:
1.0 India Power Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'IPCL') submitted an
application on 21.09.2017 for approval of capital investment proposal for
implementation of SCADA system in their distribution area covering 220/33 kV J K
Nagar sub-station and 9 nos. 33/11 kV downstream substations. IPCL has submitted
the application in terms of regulation 2.8.4.1 of the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory
Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2011, as amended
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Tariff Regulations')
2.0 In the said application IPCL has stated that they have planned to minimize deviation in
power drawl and to achieve operation automation.
2.1 It is also stated in the said application that IPCL tries to comply with the clause 5.4.12
of National Electricity Policy, clause 5.4.2(c) of Indian Electricity Grid Code
Regulations, 2010 and clause 4.1.3 of West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission
(State Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2007 which emphasise on implementation
of such facility in Distribution Licensee area to maintain grid stability.
2.2 In the said application it is also stated that the following issues have been the basis of
the decision of installation of SCADA:
a) The deviation in power drawl has to be minimized and brought under the
threshold to avoid any penalties for under drawl and / or over drawl, This will
result in savings;
b) Monitoring of power flow in real time will enable in time load transfers thus reducing abnormal loading conditions;
c) Automation in operation will lead to reduce down time in case of system
breakdowns and thus will result in increased sales;
d) Provisions to comply with direction given by CERC in its order dated 31.12.2015 in the matter of non-compliance of Regulations 5.4.2(d) of the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2010.
2.3 It is further stated that as the demand of power supply is increasing day by day, reinforcement of transmission and distribution capacity by way of planning for new
substations and network has become the need of time. And to improve overall 2

efficiency of power system by optimizing, controlling and supervising, SCADA system
needs to be implemented.
2.4 It is also stated that such investment will finally lead to following advantages :
a) Improvement of supply availability;
b) Improvement in feeder reliability indices - SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI;
c) Competitive edge over other parallel licensees in their area, as response time to
resolve any consumer issue can be much faster than other players in the same
field due to SCADA, which will help to do preventive and proactive monitoring and
make them move from reactive to pro-active customer support services;
d) Monitoring the complete network system on a real time basis, from HQ & central
office as per need;
e) Ensure Regulatory compliance;
f) Reduce the power purchase cost by almost additional 50 paisa / unit in 220 kV;
g) Reduction in value of loss of load by facilitation of more stable electricity supply
after implementing SCADA system and
h) Optimization of distribution network.
3.0 After admission of the application along with petitioner's subsequent submission on
26.10.2018 by the Commission, IPCL was directed to publish the gist of their application as approved by the Commission in the newspapers. IPCL accordingly published the gist of the application in three daily newspapers, namely, The Telegraph (English), the Bartaman (Bengali) and the Sanmarg (Hindi) on 04.02.2019 inviting suggestions and objections on their application. No suggestion and objection
have been received by the Commission within the stipulated time period.

Observations of the Commission:
4.0 The petitioner has submitted the Detailed Project Report (DPR). The break-up of the
estimated project cost as per the said DPR is indicated below:
SI Particulars Cost (Rs
no Cr.)
1 SCADA phase - I 6.94
2 SCADA phase - II 5.61
3 Construction of control room 0.97
for SCADA system at J K
Nagar sub-station.
4 Taxes & Duties 0.81
5 Total cost 14.33
5.0 The break-up of the above costs was not available in the DPR submitted by IPCL. On
query, the same has been submitted by IPCL vide letter dated 21.09.2019.
Order:
6.0 The Commission after careful consideration of the facts stated and the documents
submitted by IPCL and also the information submitted subsequently as sought for,
accords in-principle clearance for investment of Rs. 1428.08 lakhs excluding IDC for
implementation of SCADA system at IPCL's distribution area covering 220/33 kV J K
Nagar sub-station and its 9 (nine) 33/11 kV downstream substations. The item wise
costs are given in Annexure - I to this order.
7. 0 It is further ordered that :
i) On completion of the project IPCL shall submit a complete report and a cost
benefit analysis of the project separately before the Commission;
