 3. Intra State Schemes under implementation
3.1. The road-map for development of power sector specifying the need for
strengthening of overall Transmission, Sub-transmission and Distribution system
in NER and Sikkim was brought out in the “Pasighat Proclamation on Power”
released during the first Sectoral Summit of North Eastern Council at Pasighat in
Arunachal Pradesh in January, 2007.
3.2. Pursuant to recommendations of Pasighat summit, a Sub-Group was constituted
under the Chairmanship of Member (Power Systems), CEA, on transmission, sub-
transmission and distribution related issues in North Eastern Region. Accordingly,
a comprehensive scheme for strengthening of transmission, sub-transmission and
distribution system was evolved by CEA in consultation with POWERGRID and
States of North Eastern Region and Sikkim.
3.3. Under the subject project, implementation of the scheme in six states of NER viz.
Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur and Nagaland was envisaged
through funding from World Bank / Govt. of India and implementation in Arunachal
Pradesh and Sikkim was envisaged under a separate project funded by Govt. of
India.
3.4. Accordingly, sanctions for two schemes i.e. North Eastern Region System
Improvement Project (NERPSIP) and Comprehensive Scheme for strengthening
of Transmission & Distribution in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim (CSAS) were
accorded by Govt. of India.

3.5. North Eastern Region Power System Improvement Project (NERPSIP)

3.5.1 Implementation of this project (as Central Sector Scheme, with funding on
50:50 basis by Govt. of India & World Bank) would strengthen the Intra-State
Transmission & Distribution infrastructure of six states of North Eastern Region
(Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura); improve its
connectivity to the upcoming load centres, and thus would extend the benefits
of the grid-connected power to all the consumers. The project would also
provide the required grid connectivity to such villages and towns of the States,
where development of distribution system at the downstream level has been
taking place under Govt. of India sponsored RGGVY/ APDRP/ R-APDRP
schemes. NERPSIP covers many Transmission & Distribution lines & sub-
stations at 33 kV, 66 kV, 132 kV and 220 kV voltage levels.

3.6. Comprehensive Scheme for strengthening of Transmission & Distribution

in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim (CSAS):

3.6.1 When the CSAS scheme was conceived, only 5 out of 20 Districts of Arunachal
Pradesh were connected to the transmission network at 132/220 kV level. The
33 kV system was backbone of power distribution system in the State. Due to
low population density spread over its geographical area of 84,000 sq.km,
power demand in Arunachal Pradesh was scattered. Hence, it was necessary
to strengthen 132 kV network in the state for proper voltage management and

Page | 8
 lower losses. Similarly, the distribution system in Sikkim mainly relied on 66 kV
network, which needed to be strengthened substantially. In view of this, it was
proposed to take up projects for strengthening intra-state T&D systems of the
two States through 31 new 132 kV sub-stations, 12 substations of 66/11 kV,
2,153 km of transmission lines (220 kV ,132 kV and 66 kV) and 1923 km of
transmission lines (33 kV). The project is being implemented through
POWERGRID.

 In the FY 2021-22, Arunachal Pradesh had peak power demand of 197 MW
and total energy requirement of 875 MU. As on 31.03.2022, state has central
sector installed capacity of 1,115 MW which is purely from hydro. In addition,
the state has state sector installed capacity of 107.11 MW and private sector
installed capacity of 24 MW. The per capita consumption of the state is 645
kWh in the year 2021-22.
 The projected peak demand of state as per the 20th EPS report will be 259 MW
by the year 2029-30.

9.1. Demographics
9.1.1. Mizoram is a state in Northeastern India, with Aizawl as its seat of Government
and capital city. The name of the state is derived from "Mizo", the self-described
name of the native inhabitants, and "Ram", which in the Mizo language means
"land." Thus "Mizo-ram" means "land of the Mizos". Within India's northeast
region, it is the southernmost landlocked state, sharing borders with three of
the Seven Sister States, namely Tripura, Assam and Manipur. The state also
shares a 722-kilometre (449 mi) border with the neighbouring countries of
Bangladesh and Myanmar.

and fauna, low valleys and extremely high mountains. The entire Himalayan
belt being young fold mountains, Sikkim is constantly tormented by its fragile
geology. With a population of about 6.79 lakh within an area of 7096 sq. km,
the state is rapidly developing. Sikkim is also very strategically located sharing
international border with three countries - Nepal, Bhutan and China.
12.1.2. The transmission network in Sikkim currently comprises of a mixture of 66 kV
and 132 kV transmission lines and sub-stations within the state grid with 66
kV lines being the mainstay. Transmission lines under PGCIL comprises of
132 kV network connecting the state grid with the national grid at three
interconnection points.
