The Ministry of Power has issued new guidelines to improve the efficiency and reliability of India’s power system. The guidelines focus on workforce adequacy at Load Despatch Centres (LDCs) and the deputation of skilled personnel to Grid-India. These guidelines were issued on October 30, 2024 and published on November 8, 2024.
Key Points of the Guidelines
These guidelines aim to ensure that LDCs are staffed with sufficient skilled personnel to handle the increasing complexity of power system operations. They provide a framework for determining the optimal number of staff required, their qualifications, and training needs.
The guidelines outline the process for deputing personnel from State Load Despatch Centres (SLDCs) to Grid-India. This initiative aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and the development of a skilled workforce for the national grid.
