Published in association with Centre de Sciences Humaines, New
Delhi The State Electricity Boards (SEB) present huge potential for
daily change in the lives of a billion-strong Indian population.
Often described as nearly impossible to reform, SEBs offer huge
untapped potential for higher technological efficiency, that in
turn could mean reliable electricity for day-to-day life, reduced
bills for the users and the public exchequer, higher environmental
sustainability. For this potential to appear clearly in the public
debate, the so-called technicalities of the power sector should no
longer be the monopoly of a few specialists and technocrats. And
indeed, Indias history of economic regulation has entered into a
new era when, in the power sector, the model of independent
regulation for utilities got enacted through the Electricity
Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998, then followed by the new
Electricity Act 2003. The regulatory commissions gained a saying in
virtually all technical matters within the utilities. The biggest
chasse gardee of the SEBs engineers had not resisted. This volume
comes as third in a series on the power sector reforms in India.
The series attempts at understanding (i) the organizational tasks,
(ii) the tariffs aspects, (iii) the role of the private, (iv) the
role of technology in the complex, variegated, state-specific
Indian scenario. A clear and sound public debate on tariffs,
service, advantages, and limits of privatization in the Indian
scenario can only come from an informed assessment of current
margins in technological enhancement of SEBs and on the relevance
of the Act in framing such a new Indian power system. This volume
wishes to contribute to this debate.
