WBSETCL has completed its glorious journey of thirteen long years as the sole Transmission Company of West Bengal which is devoted to provide uninterrupted, quality power to the people of Bengal and the nation. In the financial year 2019-20, total Transformer Capacity of WBSETCL is around 34223 MVA with Transmission Line length of around 14737 ckm spreading across the State covering farthest end of north to the remotest corner of south. Total 05 (five) new no. of sub-stations has been commissioned during the current financial year at different parts of Bengal to resolve low voltage issues thereby bringing the total count of sub-stations to 142 with the record Transmission Availability of 99.88%. The Company has made a turnover of Rs. 1399.66 crore which shows in increase of 3.44% in comparison with the previous year.

Despite the ongoing pandemic caused by COVID-19, the Company has proved its capability as the vigilant protector of the State Power System during the devastating Cyclone ‘Amphan’. Power was restored for most of the sub-stations located at the affected areas within a few hours and it is encouraging to note that the Company is able to stand up to the expectations of all the stakeholders. WBSETCL believes in not only “Transmitting Power” but also “Transmitting Happiness”.

Incomplete / Stalled Project :

Progress of quite a few transmission lines are getting affected for problems associated with local problems / right of way issues/ court cases. Rigorous interactions with the administration and statutory bodies are on to complete those projects. Details of such projects are given below:l Work of 132 KV D/C transmission line from Food Park to Ambuja Cement Factory could not be completed due to acute right of

problem in spite of constant persuasion with local and district administration.l Execution of LILO of Domjur – Uluberia 132 KV D/C Transmission Line at Foundry Park 220 KV Sub-station is held up due to

severe ROW problems in spite of repeated persuasion with local and district administration.l 0.676 KM stringing work of Moinaguri – Mathabhanga 132 KV D/C line is held up due to acute ROW problems/court case.l 1.215 KM stringing work is held up in 132 KV S/C line on D/C tower from Coochbehar 132 KV S/Stn to proposed Pundibari traction

S/Stn. due to acute ROW problems, persuasions are on with district administration to sort out the issue.

Total estimated project cost of the above 40 nos. lines is Rs. 1463.11 crores.

Augmentation of Transformation capacity at different sub-stations to meet (N-1) criterion for all sub-stations under Tr (O&M) (In accordance of transmission planning guideline issued by CEA) to cater to load demand during system disturbance & exigencies.
