 BSEB – At A Glance
Bihar State Electricity Board was constituted under section 5 of the
Electricity Supply Act, 1948 vide Bihar Government's Notification No.
2884 - A/AI-121/57 dated 25th March, 1958 with effect from 1st
April, 1958. The Board was given the responsibility of promoting
coordinated development of Generation, Transmission and
Distribution of Electricity in the State in an efficient and economic
manner.
Structure
The Chairman heads the Bihar State Electricity Board and there are
posts of Member Administration, Member Finance, Member
Generation, Member Transmission and Member Distribution.
At the zonal level, work is supervised by General Managers-cum-Chief
Engineers. A Chief Engineer is assisted by Suptd. Engineers,
Executive Engineers, Assistant Engineers and Junior Engineers. All in
all, as on today, there are more than 16,550 employees working with
BSEB.
 BSEB: An Overview
The duties of the Board have been defined in Section 18 of the
Electricity Supply Act, 1948. It has been charged with the
responsibility of promoting a co-ordinated development of generation,
supply and distribution of electricity in the State of Bihar on an
efficient and economic basis of management.

Though BSEB deals in only one product, i.e., electrical power, its
significance and utility value is enormous for the State. Almost all
aspects of modern life-style are dependent on it in one way or
another.
In order to ensure that its responsibilities are discharged effectively
and efficiently, the Board has engaged nearly 1,700 officer and
14,850 staffs on various posts to generate its own power and to
maintain proper distribution system. It arranges to supply the
electricity properly to the consumers and maintain their equipments.

The responsibility of catering to entire state means BSEB must always

be able to understand present as well as future trends of power
consumption. It has to formulate and implement schemes for power
generation so that growth in demand can be met successfully in time.
Sometimes, it also becomes necessary for BSEB to purchase power
from outside agencies in order to meet the local demand.
As on today, the installed generating capacity of BSEB in terms of its
Thermal and Hydro-Electrical plants, exceeds 559.2 MW.
The Board has its full-fledged Accounts and Audit Department for
proper keep-up of its financial transaction as also to ensure efficient
financial management on the commercial line.

The Board has also its personnel wing to safeguard the interest of all
its employees. The bio-data and service records of the employee have
been computerized at Board's Headquarters.

The entire organization of the Bihar State Electricity Board has been
set up keeping in view the functions entrusted to it i.e., coordinated
development of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
in the State.

Power Bulletin
Supply of Electricity in Bihar is organized under 7 Area Boards. This
page will be used to display most up-to-date power availability
position in near future.

Energy Billing and Revenue Monitoring

For all round growth of any state, the role of Power Sector is a
critical one. Only by assuring supply of adequate and reliable
electrical power, a state can hope to develop industrial and
agricultural base for economic growth.
To cater to the present as well as future requirements of this state,
BSEB is also required to formulate and give concrete shape to various
power distribution and transmission schemes by which electricity can
be made available to both urban, as well as, rural areas.
The job does not get over at this stage itself !
BSEB now must also assure that all dues from its customers, whether
HT or LT category, get collected on time. It is this particular aspect of
correct Energy Billing, Revenue Collection and Monitoring that
prompted adaptation and wide-spread deployment of IT Tools within
BSEB.
BSEB consumers within the State Capital would have already seen all
cash collection counters being completely computerized and an
improvement in the accuracy of their energy bills.
The solution developed and implemented with the help of National
Informatics Center, Govt. of India is known as Revenue Manager
2000 and it runs on Oracle 8i RDBMS. The front-end of Revenue
Manager 2000 has been built using Developer 2000 and it has been
extensively tested across 10 divisions within the State Capital. Today,
there are 30 collection counters of BSEB in Patna that are providing
better billing and revenue collection facility to approximately 2,50,000
energy consumers. Completely automated accounting facility, as
provided by Revenue Manager 2000, has helped reduce billing cycle
to just one month and this allows for better cash flow scenario for a
capital intensive organization like Bihar State Electricity Board.
There are 9 other Area Boards of BSEB across Bihar where this type
computerized solution will soon be implemented to help improve
billing accuracy and cash collection facility to large number of energy
consumers.
The advantage of Billing and Cash Collection database running on a
robust and stable platform like Oracle has now been extended by its
integration with the world wide web. This web site that you are
viewing presently uses the same database to serve you in several
ways. For example, consumer grievance redressal forum, tender
publication, power bulletin status, etc. are all operating on Oracle for
total integrity and maximum uptime.
Very soon, this database would be linked to banks like - ICICI, IDBI,
etc. to allow an energy consumer to pay electricity bills using online
payment model.

6. 110/105 01/12/1984 In Operation

Intermittently
7. 110/105 31/03/2005 In Operation

Total 320/310 -- -- --

Unit No. 1, 2 and 3 (3x15 MW) of this station were declared retired
between 1983-85 due to uneconomical operation. Sale of these units
on as is where is basis is under process by S&P Dept.

Unit No. 4 & 5 (2x50 MW) are of (Polish-make) and are under shut
down since 1996 & 1995 respectively due to pollution problem as well
as for refurbishment.
The Planning Commission has identified these units for renovation &
modernization in 10th Plan, accordingly a team of experts (Engineer)
from NTPC, CEA and BSEB visited the site, completed their viability
study and observed/opined that both the units would be viable, after
completion of R&M. The committee recommends Unit No. 5 for
immediate restoration, as its Turbine is new one, while the Unit No. 4
was recommended for RLA/R&M works.
The action is being initiated for revival of these units in consultation
with our consultant M/s NTPC (Appointed by the Board). A sum of Rs.
200 Crore (approx) is estimated to be spent on it, which will be
proposed to be met by Rastriya Sam Vikash Yojna. After completion
of R&M works 100 MW power shall be available at 80% P.L.F.
Unit No. 6 & 7 (2x110 MW) are of BHEL-make and are operating at
30/35 MW intermittently and badly need restoration, RLA and R&M
works. The schedule maintenance/capital maintenance of the units
could not be carried out in time due to pressing demand of electricity
and non-availability of fund. Units have over worked under such non-
congenial operating conditions, which have further deteriorated units
conditions.
For improvement in Generation, in the light of the recommendation of
Planning Commission M/s BHEL has been appointed as executing
agency for carrying out RLA and R&M/LE works under the supervision
of N.T.P.C. A sum of Rs. 221 Crore is estimated to spent on the above
work, which will be met by Rastriya Sam Vikash Yojna. L.O.I. for the
above work has already been placed on BHEL & NTPC.

2. Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station

Unit Capacity Date of Present Status

No. (in MW) Commissioning

1. 110 31/03/1985 Both have been shut down since October,

2003 due to higher oil consumption
2. 110 17/03/1986 resulting in high cost of generation.

Total 220 -- --

Both the BHEL make units are under shut down since October-03 due
higher oil consumption causing high Generation Cost. Timely schedule
and capital maintenance of both the units were not taken up in the
past due to paucity of fund as well as pressing demand of electricity.
Unit condition is too bad to operate.
In the light of recommendation of Planning Commission to improve
the power Generation scenario M/s BHEL has been appointed as
executing agency to carry out RLA and R&M/LE works of M.T.P.S.
Units also, in supervision of N.T.P.C. at an estimated cost of 222
Crore to be met by R.S.V.Y. L.O.I. has already been placed on BHEL.
Approval of Govt. of Bihar has already been communicated to
Planning Commission for Rs. 506.20 Crore for R&M works of Unit
No.1&2 of MTPS and Unit No.6&7 of BTPS. (249.1 Crore for MTPS and
257.10 Crore for BTPS).
But due to non-availability of fund M/s BHEL have not taken up the
work till day. Diversion of fund to executing agency is still awaited. In
the mean time, no new project have been added to increase our
