Future Prospective In view of industrial growth and increase of Domestic, Commercial Consumers, the requirement of Electrical energy has been considerably increasing in this area, as a result of which, the consumption has been increased by 85M.U. per year. The industrial growth under Joda and Barbil are getting increased rapidly. In order to meet the requirement a number of improvement programmes has been taken up under World Bank Assistance, such as
In addition to this for improvement of supply system at Keonjhar, Champua, Joda and Barbil, provision has been made for construction of 500nos. of L.T. less Sub-stations, for which transmission loss can be reduced effectively and the voltage can be improved considerably. In this regard, already 160nos. of L.T. less Sub-stations have been completed under Joda, Barbil and Keonjhar areas. For improvement of supply system at Keonjhar Town, provisions have been made for upgradation of 11KV existing Conductors from 30mm sq. to 100mm sq. and the work is in progress. It has been proposed to install about 300nos. of L.T. less Sub-stations under Keonjhar Municipality area to ensure steady uninterrupted power supply, for which the work is in progress. In order to reduce loss components in the distribution system, it has been decided to install new meters alongwith the Tamper Proof Boxes, for which the theft of energy can be reduced considerably. The work in respect of change of meters alongwith the T.P. Boxes has already been undertaken and about 4,500nos. of meters have already been changed in Joda and Barbil areas and the work as programmed to be completed within two years.
