Inauguration of REMCL-PTC Control Center By Member Electrical Railway Board Shri Ashwani Kumar Kapoor
In a bid
to procure economical power in line with the budgetary announcement of
Minister of Railways, Indian Railways(IR) through Railway Energy
Management Company Limited (REMCL), a JV of MoR and RITES Limited, has
started drawing power as deemed distribution licensee at a lower tariff
in the state of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand and
partly in Uttar Pradesh. Railways have further contracted 585 MW power
in the states of Orissa, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi,
Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan through Open bidding at a
much lower tariff. Flow of power in these states is likely to commence
shortly. This has already resulted into significant saving to Railways
and will continue to result in further savings.
To further improve upon scheduling of power being procured by IR as deemed distribution licensee, today a Centralized Control Room has been inaugurated by Sh. Ashwani Kumar Kapoor, Member Electrical, Railway Board, Ministry of Railways. This control room has been setup by REMCL.
This move will make it possible to look into ways to further reduce the cost of power to Railways by leveraging part power through exchange. It will also allow scheduling of power close to its actual load requirements.

Speaking on the occasion Sh. Kapoor said that these efforts will go in a
long way to change the business as usual mode of availing power in
Railways and in due course of time will lead to maximizing the benefits
on power tariffs.
