In 1964, the government of Nagaland introduced DoPN as Electricity Department under PWD. By 1981, the responsibilities of the department increased and it was renamed as Power Department vide Govt. The primary role of the Department of Power, Nagaland is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in the state of Nagaland along with resolving power-related problems of its consumers. The department has also come up with Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) initiative in order to supply power in rural areas of Nagaland.
A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE DEPARTMENT |
Nagaland was inaugurated as the 16th State of the Union of India on 1st December 1963 by the then President of India Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. And within a period of eight months of attaining Statehood, the Government of Nagaland on 09th July 1964 created a full-fledged Electricity Department vide Govt. Notification No.GEN/EL/52/64 Dt. 9.7.64. With this, the Electrical wing under PWD became a new Department – Electricity Department. This initiative indeed is a clear indication of the Government’s commitment to move ahead for development while the nascent state was yet under a very trying political period. The pioneers of electricity House – Kohimaf the department from day one had strived to deliver power to the people, initially through the Diesel Generating sets and later from the grid supply. Along with power connectivity & availability, power security became an issue, and towards which the Department initiated the development of small hydro projects and commissioned its first 1.5MW Dzüza Hydro Electric Project on 28.03.1978. The Department was re-named as Power Department vide Govt. Notification No.AR-4/5/76 dated 18/08/1981, enlarging the role and activities of the Department. Today, the Peak Power Demand of the State is 115MW. The activities of modest generation, O&M of extensive transmission and distribution network, strengthening & up-gradation works and consumer servicing to deliver available quality power is carried out by 14(Fourteen) Electrical Divisions and 3(Three) Civil Divisions with 2(Two) Superintending Engineer (Elect) Circles and 1(One) Superintending Engineer (Civil) Circle in the field. In the Directorate, the Chief Engineer (T&G) is assisted by 13(Thirteen) Engineers (SDO and above) and the Additional Chief Engineer (D&R) is assisted by 10(Ten) Engineers (SDO and above). During 2013-14, the State consumed 597 million units with 92 MU coming from its own generation while 505 MU was imported. With the expected increase in the demand and normative annual hike in the generation tariff, the amount required for power purchase will continue to increase. Therefore, there is an urgent need to have State’s own generation plant-like Likimro HEP which can supplement the demand and reduce power purchase costs. |

What is an Energy Meter?
An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, or energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device.
How to calculate the load to be applied for?
Connected load expressed in kW, means aggregate of the manufacturer’s rated capacity of all energy consuming devices or apparatus connected with the distribution licensee’s service line, on the consumer’s premises, which can be simultaneously used.
What is contract demand?
Contact demand expressed in kVA means the maximum demand contracted by the consumer in the agreement with the licensee and in absencae of such contract demand, the contract demand shall be determined in accordance with the relevant sections of tariff order approved by DoPN from time to time.
What is the Maximum Demand Indicator (MDI)? What is its significance for consumer?
Maximum Demand Indicator is an indication about the maximum demand used by the consumer for the duration of half-an-hour in the given period. This parameter is significant both for consumer and the service company to decide the sanctioned load and also to plan the network capacity.
Kindly note : Exceeding the sanctioned load/demand attracts the penalty
What is the meaning of down loading of parameter?
Various parameters measured and recorded by the instrument are finally downloaded for billing/ monitoring purpose. The downloading of parameter means transferring the parameters from meter to the records of DoPN.

Why is it essential to verify Electricity dues for property before applying for new connection? How the same may be got checked from DoPN?
Electricity dues are attached to the premises and not to the person. The old dues may be in the name of some other person but it is the responsibility of the existing owner or the user of the premise to keep the premise clear of any electricity dues to be eligible to get the electricity connection. The existing user or applicant of the connection may either make the payment themselves or ask the former owner to clear the dues. It is therefore always advisable to ensure before purchasing or occupying the property that it is clear from any electricity dues and/or have a specific clause for ownership of electricity dues in the relevant document for transfer of ownership of property.

Another useful benefit of installing an ELCB is that it also detects faulty and intermixing of internal wiring.
