Role of POWERGRID as CTU

To undertake transmission of electricity through ISTS
To discharge all functions of planning and co-ordination
relating to ISTS with Central Govt, CEA, RPC, STU, Trans
Licensees.
To ensure development of an efficient, co-ordinated and
economical system of ISTS lines for smooth flow of electricity
from generating stations to the load centres
To provide non-discriminatory access to its transmission
system for use by any licensee or generating company on
payment of the transmission charges; or any consumer as
and when such open access is provided by the State
Commission

Issues
& Challenges
ROAD MAP FOR
INDIAN
POWER SYSTEM

Issues concerning availability of RoW and same are

becoming critical

Resistance of people, terrains in areas of mountains and forest

Sector to grow from 228 GW to 600 GW in next 20 years

Even 765kV system may not be good enough. New methods
have to be found out

Challenges to develop Transmission system to meet the

requirement of power flow from anywhere to anywhere.

With increasing magnitude of power transmission, create

new challenges of proper O&M
