Overview

Restructured accelerated power development and reforms program (R-APDRP)

• R-APDRP is GoI’s initiative with focus on establishment of baseline data and fixation of accountability, and reduction of AT&C losses through strengthening & up-gradation of Sub-Transmission and Distribution network and adoption of Information Technology during XIth Plan.
• Proposed to cover urban areas–towns and cities with population of more than 30,000 (10,000 in case of special category states)
• Projects under the scheme shall be taken up in Two Parts
• Part-A will cover projects for establishment of baseline data and IT applications for energy accounting/auditing & consumer services
• Part-B will cover System improvement, strengthening and augmentation etc. 

Scope Of Work under Part A

• Establishment of baseline data and IT applications for energy accounting/auditing & consumer services
• Baseline energy and revenue data of the identified towns and setting up of customer care center therein. The scope covers setting up of IT infrastructure at data center & DR Center,
• Call centers and other offices of utility, which would form the platform for  subsequent automation. This activity shall comprise fulfillment of the following tasks

• Establishment of data center & Disaster Recovery center at identified location
• Establishment of customer care centers at identified location
• Set up the Local Area Network and Wide Area Network

Part-A of R-APDRP will include

SCADA/DMS

Introduction

SCADA/DMS is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition / Distribution Management System. Under R-APDRP program, SCADA/DMS system will cover urban areas- towns and cities with population of more than 4,00,000 & 350 MUs annual input energy. MoP, GOI has appointed power finance Corporation as the Nodal Agency for implementing this program.
