It was more than 10 years before Jharkhand was created. But not a single state-run power plant could come up in the State since its creation in 2000.

As a result, Jharkhand had been depending much on private players with signing of MoUs, holding an idea that the proposed private-run power plants would meet the State’s power shortage by producing of over 5,000 MW of electricity.

But this idea could not be fulfilled because private players signed MoUs with the state could not set up plants as yet as the state could not allot land, water and infrastructures according to terms and conditions of the MoUs.

Jharkhand’s two power utilities – Jharkhand State Electricity Board (JSEB) and Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Limited (TVNL) have total installed capacity of 1,320 MW.at the beginning of 2005-06 which remained the same till the date.
