Empowering Development Ensuring Progress

The growth of Indian economy, calls for a matching rate of growth in infrastructure facilities. Power Sector, hitherto, had been funded mainly through budgetary support and external borrowings. But given the budgetary support limitation, due to growing demands from other sectors, particularly social sector and the severe borrowing constraints, a new financing strategy was required. Renewable Energy resources offer unique opportunity to shift our development path toward greater sustainability and environmental and social responsibility. This form of energy addresses some of the global growing energy needs without adverse environmental impacts.. India's huge power requirement and investment associated with it mainly with conventional energy resources. But in longer term perspective, renewable energy and demand side management can play a greater role in providing clean and affordable energy. The State Cabinet has decided to bifurcate its power utility to carry out electricity reforms in the State. Uttaranchal Power Corporation Ltd. (UPCL) would be bifurcated into separate companies in the transmission and distribution sectors. While UPCL would distribute and market electricity, a transmission corporation called Transmission Corporation of Uttaranchal would be set up soon and both the utilities would work independently. This has been done in compliance with the Central Electricity Act 2003, which has made it mandatory for states to carryout the power reforms. The Cabinet has also decided to set up a power-trading corporation to sell electricity. This segment of exhibition will also address issues like - techno commercial issues problems and solutions to (i) reduction of transmission and distribution losses and (ii) quality/reliability /availability of power; metering/billing/collection; demand side management-economics and strategies; new technologies and innovations in distribution sector; improving service standards by investment and management initiatives; critical review of reforms process- unbundling and corporatization of SEBs; private sector participation in distribution requirements, challenges and constraints; innovations in utilities managements rural cooperation to internet billing and payment; retail supply competition- requirements, challenges and constraints; regulatory issues and tariff rationalization; investment hurdles in distribution and their solutions; framework for successful privatization; creating a financially viable sector and exploring alternate industry models ; international experiences in distribution reforms etc.,.
