POWER
The jharkhand's power generation capacity is 1390 megawatt. In which
thermal power generation capacity is 1260 MW and hydel is 130 MW.
The per capita power consumption in Jharkhand is only 552 kwh which is
better than that of Bihar 91 (kwh), Assam (175.1 kwh) and U.P. (340.5 kwh) but is
lower compared to punjab (1506.3 kwh), Gujrat (1330.8 kwh), Haryana (1208.2 kwh)
and Tamil Nadu (1079.9 kwh), Haryana (1208.2 kwh) and Tamil Nadu (1079.9 kwh),
Jharkhand has a per capita deficit of 168 kwh in comparison to national average.
The jharkhand has enormous potential for hydel power but it has not been
fully utilised. One such example is Koel-Karo hydel project, was abandoned
because of local agitation and opposition.
The power supply in the jharkhand is currently through the jharkhand State
Electricity Board (JSEB), except for the city of Jamshedpur, where it is undertaken
by the JUSCO (Jamshedpur Urban Services Company), The sector is reglated by
the jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC).

(D) Giridih Power Project
(E) Madhupur-Jasidih Power Project
(2) In 2nd Five year Plan: Most of Thermal and Hydel Power Plant of Damodar
V alley corporation (DVC) Were Commissioned
(A) Bokaro Thermal Power 1989-93
(B) Chandrapura 1964-68
(C) Panchet Hydel Power 1959,1991
(D) Maithon Hydel Power 1957-58
(E) Tilaiya Hydel Power 1953
(3) In third five year Plan: Two Units of Patratu Thermal Power Station with
a capacity of 50 MW each were established. Another Chandrapura Thermal Power
and North Karanpura Thermal Power
(4) In 4th Five year Plan : The Swarnarekha hydee Power station was further
Strengthened.
(5) In 7th Five year Plan
The total expenditure energy was reduced during this Plan. The foundation
stone of Tenughat Thermal Power Station was laid. Two units of BTPS ‘B’, each
with the capacity of 210 MW each, were commissioned in 1986 and 1990. Work
also began in expanding the installed capacity of panchet Hydel Station by starting
the work on addition 40 MW.
