Renewed thrust in Transmission & Sub Transmission

A news release from the firm I serve: BGR Energy secures Rs. 300 cr work order captures in brief the excitement we Transmission folks have been hoping for a some time now. While the previous 5 to 7 years concentrated ins significant creating of generation capacity, the issue of mis match of geographies, when looked at from generation location to high demand location centres, were not addressed. This is in spite of having policies to discover 'Congestion" charges. Two major issues, have been responsible for this revival. One is the revival of stranded capacity of gas power stations and under utilised capacities of pit head power stations due to the limitation of choice of buyers. The other is Renewables and associated distributed generation. 

As we launch on this new programmes, a much needed approach is the resolution of the 'Right of Way' through proactive policies and transparent & early dispute resolutions of the associated land parcels.
