The achievement during 1993-94 was generation of 41.38.38 MKWH through 10 Hydro Power Projetcs viz. Lowre Lagyap Hydel
Project, Jali Power House, Rothak Micro Hydel Project, Rimbi Micro Hydel Project-I, Rimbi State -II, Lachen Micro Hydel Project,
Rongnichu Hydel Project, Lachung Micro Hydel Project, Upper Rongnichu Hydel Project, Mieongnichu Hydel Project which have
a total installed capacity of 33.80 MW. The College Khola Hydel Project is in the final stage of completion. The total power generation
during 1993-94 was 50.80 MKWH where the total consumption during the same year was 73.70 MKWH. The shortfall was met through
import of 22.90 MKWH hour from Chuka. The total transmission line by 1992-93 were 197 km of 66 kv, 1520 km of 11 Kv and 3200
Km of 440 volt lines.
The survey and investigation of new hydel schemes like Rongpu, Hee, Tarang, Bakcha, Rongli wre in progress and the
expenditure of rs. 6.84 lakhs was made during 1993-94. A number of residential and non-residential building were under construction
for which the sum of Rs. 50.00 lakhs was spent. One system improvement scheme funded by REC was under progress during
1993-94. The Mieongnichu Hydel Project was commissioned in 1993-94 and work on other Hydel Project is in progress. the work on
transmission and distribution were also in progress of which 13 tower erection and 18 stringing were completed.
The per capita consumption of powre during 1990-91 for Sikkim was 82.5 KWH. as against the All India average 241.5 KWH.
Sikkim was placed on 20th position when ranked based on per capita consumption. The highest consumption of 631.3 KWH was
for Punjab.
Sikkim also stood first in rank along with 12 state's in the centpercent village electified. The transmission loss in Sikkim in 1991-92
was estimated at 22.8% as compared to National average of 22.9%.
The All India average cost of realisation for 1988-89 was 53.95 paise per KWH for domestic connsumption (89.33 p in Orissa
and 43.50 p for Maharastra), 15.7 paise for Agriculture consumtion (30 p for Assam and 4.5 p for Andra Pradesh) and Bihar and
48.47 p for Kerala). The average rate for the state of Sikkim for 1988-89 was 50 paise per unit for domestic supply upto 25 units, 60
paise upto 50 units and 70 paise above 50 units. The rate for commercial, industrial and mixed supply was 70 paise per unit.
The All India average cost of generation and supply was 91.04 paise per KWH. (224.76 p per KWH. for Assam and 61.29 p
has for Kerala). The figure for the state Sikkim worked out to Rs. 1.54 for 1993-94.
