  1. Power for all

  2. Power transmission is a crucial component in the power sector and is as essential as power generation. While generation has come up well in India, reliable and cost-efficient delivery of power is the critical element that must be addressed. Mr. Pratik Agarwal, Group CEO, Sterlite Power, one of India’s largest private developers of power transmission infrastructure, in a special interview with Infraline Plus, says, transmission plays a key role in making power accessible and affordable for all. The transmission vision of the country has to match the vision that we have for renewable energy and power for all. There are no big-bang announcements being made in this segment of the power sector.

  3. While generation has come up well, reliable and cost-efficient delivery of power is the critical element that must be addressed. Transmission faces the challenges of ageing infrastructure and of timely commissioning matching with the commissioning schedule of renewable power. Also, critical is the cost-efficient delivery of energy to consumers. These challenges have been best addressed in the sector so far through competitive bidding under a positive policy environment and regulatory framework. This regime must be consistently followed to ensure reliable access to power in the country.

  4. The vision of Power for All is a laudable objective of the Government of India, and the industry is geared to meet this objective. The vision of Power for All will have no meaning if the two As are not met: Accessibility and Affordability of power. Transmission plays a key role in ensuring both. • The Government, over the years, has continued to focus on developing and strengthening the distribution network under various programmes like IPDS and DDUJGY. So is the case with inter-state transmission network, where we operate as a single national gird with no inter-regional congestion. The same can’t be said with confidence for intra-state transmission system for many states. Intra-state transmission development is under cost-plus regime by the State Transmission Utilities, with most states playing catch up with growth in power demand.

  5. There is evidence that the tariff discovered for intra-state projects through tariff based competitive bidding is 30-40% lower than the regulated tariffs. The Tariff Policy 2016 also requires that intra-state transmission projects are developed by the State Government through competitive route for projects costing above a threshold limit. The concern is that this needs to be initiated both by the State Government and State Regulators. While few states like Jharkhand, MP and UP have gone ahead with announcing competitive bids for developing InSTS, none of the SERCs have notified the threshold limits for transmission projects.
