11. 11 About 45000 MW of power to be evacuated from NER through chicken neck area in north of West Bengal A very narrow patch of land (22 km. width X 18 km length) near Siliguri having borders of Nepal on one side & Bangladesh on the other side and is largely habited. All transmission lines, railway lines, gas pipe-lines, telecommunication lines etc. have to pass through the chicken neck area. About 8 nos. of HVDC/EHVAC corridors may be required with a total width of about 1.5-2 Kms. For this, 4 corridors of + 800kV HVDC of 6000MW each (Total : 24,000 MW) is under implementation. DEVELOPMENT OF TR. SYSTEM THROUGH CHICKEN NECK

12. 12 COMPREHENSIVE STRENGTHENING IN NER  The scheme mainly covers :  The total scheme has been programmed in two phases; Phase-I and II, to be completed progressively by 2015-16.  Estimated Total Cost : Rs. 11,411.00 Crs.  Intra-state transmission & sub- transmission system (132kV & above)  5700 km line  87 nos. substations (7600MVA) to strengthen the grid to deliver power to states with security and reliability.  Distribution System (upto 33kV)  8450 km line  332 nos. substations (2255MVA) to disperse power to the ultimate consumer Details of State-wise Estimated Cost and scope of work

13. 13 Huge potential for future hydro generation projects Need to transfer power over to load centre over long distance Difficult Terrain – Hilly, Forest, River Crossing Development of high capacity transmission corridor through Chicken Neck Area High cost of transmission system due to  High Capacity Transmission line through difficult corridor  Phased development of the generation projects  Low PLF of hydro projects FUTURE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - CHALLENGES

14. 14 FUNDING OF COMPREHENSIVE STRENGTHENING SCHEMES  MoP has recommended the scheme to DEA in June, 2009.  During Nov.,2010, DEA has posed the scheme to World Bank in three transces of USD 500 million each.  The World Bank is deliberating upon the scheme. World Bank preliminary mission is visiting the states of NER.

19. 19 ACTION PLAN FOR EXPEDITIOUS HYDRO DEVELOPMENT To obviate the problems of levels being encountered during DPR formulation; a ‘Basin Approach’ could be adopted for planning the projects in the entire basin. Such an approach would help in optimizing the features and the benefits from individual schemes.  State Government to facilitate availability of hydrological data/details and topo-sheets/bench-marks for development. Creation of a Data Bank in certain central agency like CWC could also be considered so that developers have access to the already available hydrological data. Contd…..BACK Sheet 1 of 3

20. 20 ACTION PLAN FOR EXPEDITIOUS HYDRO DEVELOPMENT  Development of infrastructure facilities like roads in the basin jointly by the State/NEC/DoNER and Developers.  Facilitate environmental clearance at the State level.  Law & Order Problems to be suitably addressed by the State.  State Government to facilitate in Land acquisition.  Adoption of it is around the project area by the developers well in advance for developing skilled manpower required.  Strict monitoring of the progress and quality of investigations by the State for time bound formulation of DPRs and implementation of schemes.
