Himachal
Pradesh State Electricity Board
Electric supply at the time of formation of the state in
1948 was available only in the Capitals of the erstwhile
princely states and the connected
load at the time was less than 500 kW. Thus the organization of the
power utility in the state began relatively recently and
first electrical division
was formed in August,1953 under the Public Works Department. Subsequently
a department of M.P.P. & Power was formed in April, 1964 after
realizing the need for exploiting the substantial hydel potential available
in
the river basins. Thereafter, the State Electricity Board in accordance
with the provisions of Electricity Supply Act (1948) was formed in
the year 1971. Accordingly , all functions of the Department of Multipurpose
projects, Power such as generation, execution of hydro electric projects
except functions of flood control and minor irrigation were transferred
to the Board. Since then the State Electricity Board has made long
strides
in executing the targets entrusted to it and at present is fully competent
in organization and infrastructure to take up any challenges. |
