2. Electricity Act 1910 Indian Electricity Act
Growth through private licensees
The Electricity Supply Act, 1948
Creation of State Electricity Boards
The Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998
Formation of CERC and SERCs

3. The Electricity Act 2003
Mandatory State Electricity Regulatory Commissions
Liberalisation of Generation (except for Hydro and Nuclear)
Competition
Special focus on Power Theft
Progressive tariff rationalisation

4. The Electricity Act 2003 Consumer Protection Compulsory Metering
Trading and Market Development (Power Exchange)
Restructuring/Re-organisation of State Electricity Board
Creation of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (Expert Body)

5. Provision in the Act towards ‘Green’
The preamble of the Act thrusts ‘promotion of efficient and environmentally benign policies’
Regulatory Commission ‘promote co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person, and also specify, for purchase of electricity from such sources, a percentage of the total consumption of electricity in the area of a distribution licensee’

6. National Electricity Policy
Policy mandated for full development of the feasible hydro potential in the country since hydroelectricity is a clean and renewable source of energy
Co-generation and Non-conventional sources of energy has been emphasised in the Policy
Discom to purchase electricity from RE Sources and its share should increase progressively.
Technologies are not mature, so Commission may determine an appropriate differential in prices to promote these technologies

7. Renewable Energy Sources – Capacity
Wind
32280 MW
Solar
12289 MW
Biomass
8182 MW
Small Hydro
4380 MW
Waste
114
Total

11. Transition in Energy Sector
World is in transition phase. Our energy demand is growing at a faster rate w.r.t. global demand.
Increase in domestic energy production is much below energy consumption. Energy consumption will grow further with improvement in quality of life.
For sustainable growth, energy management is targeted from both end – Supply Side and Demand Side.
While on Supply Side, promotion of RE Sources, Hydro Sources, Super Critical technologies are being promoted;
On Demand Side, efficient use of energy is encouraged. Various programs are being undertaken under the Energy Conservation Act:-
Energy Conservation Building Code, Perform Achieve and Trade, Star labelling of equipment, Energy efficient lighting, Agricultural Demand Side Management (DSM), Municipal Demand Side Management etc.
Reduction of theft/unauthorised use of electricity is a menace to the society

12. Climate Change
The impact of climate change is far reaching and many missions are taken up initially under National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) and new Missions are considered as an ongoing process
National Water Mission, Green India Mission, National Solar Mission, National Mission on Sustainable Habitat, National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency, National Mission for Sustaining Himalayan Ecosystem, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, and a National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change
Under Solar Mission, target of Solar Capacity by 2022 is MW
Under Wind Mission, target of Wind Capacity by 2022 is MW
National Electric Mobility Mission:-
Govt. aspires 100% Electric Vehicles by 2030
National Smart Grid Mission

13. National Smart Grid Mission
Deployment of Smart Meters and AMI.
Substation renovation and Modernisation with deployment of GIS wherever economically feasible.
Development of medium sized Microgrids.
Development of Distributed Generation in form of Roof Top PVs.
Real-time monitoring and control of Distribution Transformers.
Provision of Harmonic Filters and other power quality improvement measures.
Creation of EV Charging Infrastructure for supporting proliferation of EVs
Smart grid being a new and evolving field, the activities presently envisaged are only indicative and during the course of implementation, further activities can be incorporated based on evolution of technology
