DVC
had a humble beginning: a small generating unit
with a few connected lines. Today it has a vast
network of transmission lines and substations
spread across the states of Jharkhand and West
Bengal, extending beyond its command area up to
Jamshedpur and Howrah,
DVC
supplies bulk power at 33 KV, 132 KV and 220 KV
through a network covering more than 5500 circuit
kilometers.
The
DVC grid is interconnected with the State Electricity
Boards of Jharkhand (JSEB, erstwhile BSEB) and
West Bengal (WBSEB), Grid Corporation of Orissa
and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd.
