 LIGHTING UP THE STREETS
The company has a 86 MW power plant running at Dwarikesh
Nagar, Dwarikesh Puram and Dwarikesh Dham units. It uses 30
MW for captive consumption and is capable to sell the the
balance power to Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation (UPPC). The
company uses bagasse (solid residue after crushing of
sugarcane), as raw material for the generation of power.
The company has executed power purchase agreements with UPPC
for additional power, which the company expects to produce.
In order to generate power, bagasse is burnt in boilers to
generate steam. Steam generated through bagasse-fired-water-tube
boiler is fed to turbines for generation of power and
exhaust is used for sugar manufacturing process.
Our power co-generation plant was commissioned in 1996 with
an initial capacity of 6 MW. It was expanded to 9 MW in 2002
and was further increased to 26 MW Exportable power capacity
of the plant is 24 Mw. The company has commissioned 36 Mw
power plant in Dwarikesh Dham and 24 Mw co generation plant
in Dwarikesh Puram in December 2007. Thus as of now the
total power capacity of DSIL is 86 Mw.
DSIL's power co-gen plant exported surplus power of
136,630,588 KWH to the UPPCL during the last crushing season
2010-2011 , which is our biggest consumer in this field.
Further we had also banked 31,50,000 Kwh with UPPCL which
will be returned to us during off season to meet out the
requirement of plant repair, offices and colony. The company
is saving millions Rs which will otherwise be incurred in
purchasing diesel for DG Set. Also the supply of electricity
by the UPPCL doesn’t have any negative effect on
environment. In 2001, the company had signed a power
purchase agreement with UPPCL for 10 years.
During the year 2009-2010 , our earnings from this segment
stood at Rs. 5568.789 lacs.
