New Delhi: Delicensing of Discom (distribution company) to provide consumer freedom to choose their power suppliers by separating content and trains, the main objective of the electricity bill (amendment) of the Bill 2021, may not have to produce all the benefits that are associated unless tariffs, regulations and reforms The market was carried out simultaneously, said a report by the Policy of the Think-Tank Niti Ayog on Tuesday.
“Delicensing distribution can introduce competition and activate retail choices for customers …
Applying retail options through content separation and trains may not necessarily produce a complete set of theoretical benefits mentioned …
The feasibility of competition will depend on market size, request nature, efficiency Petellings, growth potential, etc., “said reports prepared with the non-profit Mountain Mountain Institute headquartered.
Provides a Mumbai example, which has such a system, the report observes that the cost of high regulations and additional costs makes migration cannot be used for consumers – which underlines the simultaneous need for a transparent and rational regulatory environment.
The report recognizes that the distribution remains the weakest link in the growth of the Indian strength sector and is very important for rapid economic progress.
(Source: Niti Aayog) The rapid reading of the report gives the meaning that the core of this problem is inadequate political will at the state level and the complexity of the Indian power market arising from kaleidoscopic demographics and geography.
“India is too large and varied for a one-sized approach for all …
a flexible and planted approach to reform, which is supported by the state and the center, and allows ‘learning by doing’, it will play an important role in determining success,” he said underlining the challenges and needs For centers and countries are on the same page to overcome them.
This report suggests the bouquet of steps to increase all distribution segments of reducing the cost of procuring power with discounts, reducing enhanced bill losses.
But the two main suggestions that will have a comprehensive effect on this sector provide autonomy to cancel and establish regional tariff regulators to examine political interference.
Other key suggestions are creating storage capacity, both as storage of batteries or hydro pumps, to act as a ‘power bank’ giant to overcome solar or wind power intermitencies, the main causes of restrictions on renewable energy with discounts.
Simultaneously, the report suggests strengthening old power stations so that they can run on a lower load.
This will facilitate better integration of renewable capacity without placing a grid at risk.
