Introduction & Objective of the Programme
Changing Electricity Supply Structure in India
In India power development program implementation was opened
to private sector participation in the earlier Nineties. Existing power supply
utilities had to be restructured. By now most of monolithic public sector
utilities (State Electricity Boards/Corporations) have been unbundled. Non
Government electricity supply utilities are now in the field contributing to
power generation programs and distribution companies have - Higher
responsibilities-service parameters include customer satisfaction and
ensure cash flows - Evolving competitive environment in distribution leading
to service beyond tariff collection - Legal foundation for emergence of
competitive or multi-buyer structure in the Indian Power Sector was laid by
the Indian Electricity Act 2003 mandating certain restructuring needed for the
purpose. The Act also brought in certain legislation empowering the
consumers to have a choice to decide a supplier to take power from with
multi-user. This is the basic ingredient of competition.
Power Trading in India
In India, while there is a huge section of consumers, who are
power deprived, there are a lot of Captive Power Plants (CPPs) that are
under utilized and a lot of merchant capacity also expected to be added in
the near future, there is a need to encourage the peaking power plants and
bring the surplus captive generation in the grid.The Electricity Act, 2003,
mandated development of power markets by appropriate commissions
through enabling regulations. This paved the way for the new trends to
emerge like Open Access and the one in February, 2007, when the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) issued guidelines for grant of
permission for setting up operation of power exchanges within an overall
regulatory framework. The emerging trends will help in proper flow of power
from surplus regions to deficit regions and thus try to bring about a balance in
the power sector.
The SDP aims to analyze and deliberate upon the various aspects
of “Grid Management and Power Trading” in perspective of the reformed
energy generation and distribution model. It aims to involve academicians,
power traders and managers in a meaningful discussion on the issues
prevailing and solutions/probabilities envisaged.
