About the Department:
The power & electricity department is tasked with providing the citizens of Mizoram
reliable, good quality and continuous supply of electricity throughout the year. The
Mizoram State Electricity Board has been entrusted with the generation, transmission
and distribution of electricity under Indian Electricity Board (supply) Act in the state of
Mizoram. Presently the Mizoram State Electricity Board has a total of 16 mini hydel
projects and 22 isolated diesel power projects with total capacity 29.335 MW against the
peak demand of 60 MW. To meet the peak demand, Mizoram state electricity board has
to purchase power from sources like NEEPCO, NHPC (Loktak) and other sources like
Assam State electricity board and Meghalaya state electricity board. The government of
India and the state government have taken up several steps for the setting up some
hydro as well as some thermal power projects in Mizoram. Some of them are Tuirial H.E.
power project (60 MW), Tuivai H.E. Project (210 MW), Baiorabi H.E. power project
(75MW) and Bairabi coal thermal power project (20 MW). Commissioning these projects
will go a long way to full fill the shortage of power in Mizoram.

Current Problems / issues:
The total generation capacity in the State is a mere 29.335 MW, as compared to the
peak demand of 60 MW, because of which the department has not been able to ensure
an uninterrupted, reliable power supply to the citizens of the State. The department
faces lot of problems to address the breakdowns in the remote parts of the State,
especially the villages, owing to the lack of proper communication channels. Moreover,
the department is unable to provide services on time, because of slow, manual process
of record keeping.
IT Expectations of the Department:
The department would like to have a real time power management system that would be
very useful for the detection and repair of the faults. It would like to reap the benefits of
the IT to provide better, faster and more efficient services to the consumers and also
plug the revenue losses.
Current status of IT:
The department is already using a Energy Billing System 1.1, for the generation and
collection of energy bills. The department has also developed a prototype EBSKIOSK
(Energy Billing System Kiosk), that would be set up at different parts of the State and
can be used for the payment of energy bills by the individuals.
Projects Planned:
The department has made elaborate plans for the setting up SCADA based real time
power management system. In addition it also plans for an online energy bills payment
system. The prototype EBSKIOSK, if successful, would be replicated in different parts of
the State. |
