ckt . km growing at a cagr of 6.5 % from 2005 06 . about 60 % of its line network is at the 132 kv level . across all voltage levels its 400 kv network constituting 14 % of its network has grown the fastest in the past five years with a cagr of about 20 percent . it initiatives edit the company is planning to implement an enterprise resource planning erp software solution across all functional processes . the development of a geo referenced power map using geographic information system gis technology is another major planned initiative for mapping and indexing the company s electrical network assets . for better monitoring and control of its different substations data acquisition system are being installed at five substations . old and outdated vhf sets are to be replaced at different extra ht and ht substations . installation of optic fibre network to improve data acquisition from the substation is yet another planned initiative . an emergency restoration system for substations as well as transmission lines is planned to be procured to ensure speedy restoration in case of eventualities . such systems are used extensively by utilities abroad to bring down restoration time from about a year to just one or two weeks . future plans edit wbsetcl plans to add over 2 000mva to its transformer capacity and 900 ckt . km to its transmission line network in the

substations at chalsa kurseong khatra mohispota and salt lake this will be gis substation . besides the commissioning of new sub stations capacity augmentation would be undertaken at 12 existing substations of which five are at the 220 kv level . over 912ckt . km of transmission line would also be added in the current fiscal through 19 ongoing transmission line projects . the estimated cost of these transmission line is rs . 4.63 billion . in order to reduce transmission losses further the installation of 33 kv capacitors at ehv substations and installation of ehv substations near the load centers are some of the important strategies being deployed by wbsetcl . growth statistics edit 2 2008 09 2009 10 growth % line length ckt . km 11 089.50 11 456.90 3.31 substations no. 93 102
