On 25th July, which was the 55th foundation day of REC Ltd., the Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal has inaugurated the National Feeder Monitoring System (NFMS) Control Centre at its venue. Other dignitaries present on the occasion were Vivek Kumar Dewangan, CMD, REC and key officials of the Ministry of Power, REC Limited and RECPDCL.
NFMS, a flagship initiative of Ministry of Power, entails access to detailed information related to real time hours of power supply, power outages and overall health of ~2.5 lakh feeders (11 kV outgoing) across the country. This system will enable stakeholders to make informed and actionable decisions, thereby bringing in transparency, efficiency and accountability to distribution utilities (DISCOMs), ultimately improving the quality and reliability of power supply to the end consumers. The project involves integration of master as well as transactional data with 87 DISCOMs.
Under the ambit of the programme, a dedicated control centre has now been established in REC Corporate Office in Gurugram for monitoring on day-to-day basis and to disseminate the findings to DISCOMs daily, thereby, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of data displayed on NFMS portal and helping them in improving and maintaining necessary KPIs set by the ministry.
REC is a ‘Maharatna’ company under the administrative control of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and is registered with RBI as Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC)
