POWER

Energy is a basic requirement for all facets of our life, it is also a basic human need
and is a critical infrastructure on which the Socio-economic development of the country
relies. Electricity is considered, as a key driver of targeted 8 to 10 % economic growth in
India. Power crises are the prime obstacle to start new initiatives in the industrial field.
Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has taken several initiatives to improve the physical
and financial performances during the past several years. KSEB has been responsible for the
generation, transmission and supply of electricity in the state, with particular emphasis to
provide electricity affordable cost to the rural population and for Agricultural purposes. The
Board has set up adequate generation capacity and transmission network and Kerala is one
of the few states in the country having availability of power to meet the demand.
Hydro Power development in Kerala begins with the commissioning of Pallivasal
Hydro Electric Project in 1940. Sabarigiri in 1966 and Idukki in 1976 are milestones of
KSEB. Power system in Kerala encompasses hydal, thermal and wind sources. Of the total
installed capacity, 2662.24 MW, 1888.60 MW comes from 24 hydal stations; 771.62 Mw is
contributed by the thermal energy including NTPCs at Kayamkulam which is Keralas
dedicated thermal station. Kanjikode wind farm, Palakkad has an installed capacity in 2.03
MW.
Power Consumption has increased substantially over the year. Domestic as well as
Commercial Consumption, Railway traction, Agricultural pumping and Licensees increased.
The sale of energy has increased corresponding to the increase of total consumers.
Transmission is an important sector to evacuate the power in different parts of
Kerala. Transmission network in Kerala is connected to the southern Region Transmission
system through two 400KV double circuit line at Madakkathara (Thrissur) and Pallippuram
(Trivandrum). Another 400KV substation at Arecode (Malappuram) is being constructed by
PGCIL.
Distribution sector is profound area, which provides electricity to all consumers in
Kerala. Kerala has achieved full electrification in all villages, which is above average of
national level.
This chapter power provides the growth of Kerala Power sector over the years. The
relevant information has been presented in the form of tables. Vital development indicators
of power sector such as capacity addition in Generation of power at different station during
2003-4 to 2007-08, improvement in energy generated, growth of Transmission and
Distribution network, increase in revenue etc. have been included in this chapter.
