Context • More than 10 years of Reforms in the power sector • Some states have developed their own “reform Acts” • Unbundled their SEBs into G, T & D’s • Setting up of Electricity Regulatory Commissions • Privatisation of distribution (Orissa, Delhi) • Others yet to unbundle their integrated utility • Need to give thrust to reforms (in order to realise efficiencies) • Introducing markets, open access, contestability of customers etc • This presentation looks at the business models of T & D in the light of new Electricity Act, 2003

Physical Pricing Issues/ Concerns • Accurate Measurement of energy & capacity handled • Congestion Management • Availability of system • Unbundling the “Average charges” • Contract Path • MW mile • Postage stamp/ Incremental Postage Stamp • Congestion pricing • Adequate pricing signal for maintenance of system • Determination of contract path pricing within the state • New capital expenditure • Incentive to build? Transmission wires – Inter & Intra state • Act specifies only transmission wires for CTU/ STU along with system operator function
Physical Pricing Issues/ Concerns • Accurate Measurement of energy & capacity handled • Loss reduction investments • HT/LT ratio • Transformer loading • Availability of system • Unbundling the “Average charges” • cost to serve various loads • Defining “wires” cost for multiple licensees • Pricing signal for new investment (adequate for good load development) • Right to connect (for all categories immediately?) • Duplication of wires? Distribution Wires • Act specifies only metered supply after two years • Allows “inset” franchising • Special Policy for Rural distribution

General System Issues • Long term PPA signed with IPP’s & other generators • Pricing pressure on adverse hydro/ thermal mix of generation • Limited number of trading players initially?(from capital adequacy, capacity to bear loss positions) • Major cash flow problems – need to still depend on large subsidy from state government • Affect private participation in the existing distribution businesses of state • Tariff principles (cross-sub elimination, agriculture tariffs, multi-year tariffs) • Competitive bid tariff route (binding)– How to define it for Trading, Wires?
What are the pre-requisites for Competitive Market? • Tariff reforms • Transparent/ clear understanding of Value chain and associated costs • Elimination of supply shortage • Multi-buyer and Multi seller • Price responsive Demand and Supply • Position for generators to participate in spot market • Access to Transmission and Distribution wires • Interconnectivity to trade power across states/ regions
Enablers in Electricity Act 03 • Allows Electricity Boards to unbundle/ transfer to new corporate entities • Unbundling of wires & Trading business • Fixed time frame for enunciating policy and action plan • Provision of open access • Tariff policy • Rural electrification The Act is in the right direction Modalities to be worked out - by States & Centre jointly……..
