Eleven Power Receives 25-Year Electricity Distribution License for Gurugram and Nuh
The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has issued a 25-year parallel electricity distribution license to Eleven Power for the Gurugram and Nuh revenue districts. This license, granted under Section 14 of the Electricity Act, 2003, allows multiple distribution licensees to operate in the same area, similar to Mumbai's existing framework.
Eleven Power's petition outlines a capital investment of ₹4,717 crore over five years, to be deployed in phases between financial year 2026-27 (FY27) and FY31. Electricity supply to consumers is scheduled to commence in FY28, with tariffs regulated by the Commission. The company's projections indicate annual electricity sales in the licensed area will increase from approximately 12,220 million units in FY25 to about 18,224 million units by FY31.
The new network will be developed in phases across five divisions: Gurugram Sub-urban, Gurugram City, Manesar, Sohna, and Nuh, with Nuh included in the initial phase. The design emphasizes reliability through N-1 redundancy, a SCADA-enabled high-tension network, ring-main configuration, and a mix of underground and overhead cabling. Consumers will be served via smart meters, digital billing, and customer relationship centers.
Eleven Power intends to procure 80% of its electricity from renewable sources through firm and dispatchable contracts, partly from within Haryana and the green day-ahead market. The remaining 20% will come from thermal sources to ensure base-load reliability.
