DPSC
Limited (DPSCL) and Associated Power Co. Ltd.,(APC) were incorporated
in the year 1919 Primarily to supply power to the Bengal Coal
Company Ltd., then the largest producer of Coal in Asia, and
also to the Railways, Industries and Town ships in the Asansol
- Raniganj areas.
In
the pre-Independence era, Coal companies used to maintain and
operate captive generating plants for supply of electric energy
to their respective coal mines. After incorporation of the said
two Companies, the generating plants owned by the coal companies for
their captive use were gradually transferred to these new Companies
in pursuance of an agreed comprehensive programme of bringing
all such plants under one unified management for supplying of
electricity in the mining area of Bengal and Bihar . Accordingly,
DPSC Limited and APC were issued licences for the purpose of generation
and distribution of electric energy in the year 1932 ,1934 respectively.Since
then they have been operating Power Station located at
Dishergarh,Seebpore and added new plants and equipment to meet
the growing demand of electricity. In subsequent years they were converted
into Public Limited Companies and APC became a wholly owned
subsidiary of DPSC Limited and later merged with the DPSC Limited in the year
1977.
The
licensed area of the two Companies were 618 sq.km. They were
serving the consumers with high tension distribution mains mostly
comprising of 11 KV. overhead lines and having approximate circuit
lengths of 395 km. New lines were being added every year for
rendering increased stability of supply.
In
1949, the two Companies established their Central Office at
Jhalbagan, Sanctoria and gradually the administration and technical
matters were centralised.
With
the enactment of DVC Act, 1948, the Power companies were debarred
from extending their generating capacity and agreement for bulk
supply from Damodar Valley Corporation were made in the year
1951 for supply of power to four Receiving Stations.
In 1951 the two companies have extended its service considerably and in
1962, agreements made for bulk supply of power from West Bengal
State Electricity Board (WBSEB) by both Companies to overcome
the acute shortage of power in the eastern region . Under the
terms of agreements, WBSEB installed four Nos. 1.5 MW Packaged
set adjacent to Dishergarh Power Station and bulk supply was
received from their Durgapur Power Station at our Bankola Receiving
Station in the associated system, but it could not address power shortage problem.Ultimately in
the year 1965, one 5 MW Turbo - Generator and a Boiler were
commissioned by DPSC Limited.Presently
there are 5 load centers distribution substation, 35 switching stations with supply 1000ckt km mains
covering the entire licensed area of supply.With effect from July 1975 under the terms of an ordinance their licensed area comprising about 58 sq,km falling in Bihar was taken over by the Govt. of Bihar.
In
the post - Independence period, the policy of the Government
was to develop power in Government Sector. This restricted the
growth of the Company, in spite this , the Company maintained
its reputation for the quality of its service and continued
to operate efficiently by extending its services in the Asansol
- Raniganj industrial belt, to Coal Mines, Paper Mills, the
Railways, Hospitals, Television Stations, Water Pumping Stations,
Technical Institutions, and a host of large, medium, and small
industries who, irrespective of there size, get the same level
of service backed by zeal, integrity and commitment way beyond
