One Nation-One Grid-One Frequency

Highlights:

  • As part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, PowerGrid Corporation Limited commemorated the achievement of "One Nation One Grid."
  • On this occasion, Free health check-ups and medical camps were organized across 70 locations.
  • India's total multi-transmission capacity is currently around 1,12,250 MW. By 2022, it is expected to increase to around 1,18,740 MW.
  • By transferring power from resource-centric regions to load-centric regions, synchronization of all provincial grids will aid in the most efficient use of natural resources.
  • It will also result in the establishment of a thriving electricity market in India, which will facilitate power trading.
  • National Grid India History
  • Grid management in India began in the 1960s on a regional basis. Grids were initially connected to form a regional grid. 
India's five grid-based regions:
  • Northern Grid
  • Eastern Grid
  • Western Grid
  • North Eastern Grid and
  • Southern region.
  • It is noted that , in October 1991, the North Eastern and Eastern Grids were linked. 
  • In March 2003, the Western Grid and the North Eastern Grid were linked.
  • The North and East grids were connected in 2006. As a result, four regional grids, the Northern, Eastern, Western, and North Eastern grids, were interconnected to form a single-frequency central grid.
  • With the commencement of the 765kV Raichur-Solapur Power line in 2013, the Southern Region was linked to the Central Grid.
  • With this, the goal of 'ONE NATION'-'ONE GRID'-'ONE FREQUENCY' was met.
