PRESENTATION : ORGANISATION • Need for an IEGC • Development of the present IEGC version • Indian Electricity Grid Code : Contents • IEGC : Demarcation of Resposibilities • ABT / IEGC Clauses • ABT Feedback
NEED FOR AN IEGC PeriodSituation Early 1970sVertically integrated SEBs. Few problems – resolved either bilaterally or at REB level. Late 1970s- Entry of Central Generating Utilities. Early1980s Gradual increase in disputes but consensu generally emerged at REB level. Late 1980s Disputes/conflicts increased in direct proportion to number of Central Sector Power Stations. Limitations in resolving the same at REB level.
NEED FOR AN IEGC PeriodSituation Early 1990s Unresolved commercial disputes resulted in need of an umpire. 1994-96 Transfer of RLDCs from CEA to POWERGRID. 1997-99 Amendments to ES Act, Constitution of CERC / SERCs, Unbundling of SEBs, possible entry of mega IPPs, IPTCs - more players, more scope for confusion.
