Electrification
The
electrification scheme as Gondal dates back to 1924. Its began with
200 h. p. as its generating capacity. In about 5 years, the load,
particularly the industrial load, has developed to such an extent
that to cope with it, three more engines had to be ordered. The
present total capacity as completed is 1300 h. p. To accommodate
these units the power house had to be extended.
The
supply is distributed by underground cables throughout the whole
system, not an inch being overhead.

The
town of Upleta is provided with similar electrification. The
population of Upleta is only 13,000 and it is very rare in India to
find a town with such a population to have such electrical amenity.
A
similar scheme for Dhoraji is taken in hand.
Villages in the vicinity of these towns will have electrical
facilities in a short time.
The
total cost of these schemes will be about Rs. 25,00,000.
