PART-B
• Part-B covers Renovation, modernization and strengthening
of distribution & Sub-transmission work.
• Consumer indexing and ring fencing are pre-requisites before
taking up Part-B of R-APDRP, consumer indexing is being
updated by field offices of PSEB.
• AMR compatible 11 KV meters have been provided in 27 no.
towns out of 47 no. towns as part of Ring Fencing a prerequisite for establishment of reliable/automated base line
data and for determination of AT&C losses. Process for
procurement of additional meters required for Boundary
metering has been initiated.
• Guidelines and formats for implementation of R-APDRP –
Part-B has been issued by PFC which has been circulated to
field offices of PSEB for initiating spade work.
24
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
• Punjab achieved 100% electrification of
all villages in 1976.
• The existing Distribution and Sub
Transmission infrastructure in the
villages is too old and need major
strengthening, upgradation and
renovation.
• We have spent Rs.330 Cr. in the past to
provide Urban Pattern Supply to
villages and upgrade rural electrical
infrastructure.
25
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
ont…2
• Another Rs.90 Cr. have been spent to provide Urban
Pattern Supply to 6158 Deras/Dhanis with 5
households and above.
• Urban Pattern Supply is also being extended to
water works, Health Centres, Dispensaries in the
Rural Areas.
• PSEB has prepared a comprehensive Rural
Electrification Plan, which requires funds to the
extent of Rs.9534 Cr. during 11th & 12th Plan and have
submitted the same to Government of India and
Planning Commission to provide liberal financial
assistance.


PSEB is implementing 17 Projects of Rs.183.91 Cr. under
RGGVY for release of about 4.04 lac connections to rural
households which also include 1.49 Lac single point
connections to BPL household.
The work on these projects is in progress and would be
completed by 31.3.2010.
27
OPEN ACCESS IN TRANSMISSION &
DISTRIBUTION
• The State Government is of the view that indiscriminatory Open
Access in Transmission & Distribution and establishment of power &
energy exchanges for trading in power are the steps in the right
direction and would help development of a vibrant power sector.
• Open Access in Transmission & Distribution is fully operationalized
in Punjab.
• The Open Access Regulations were notified by the PSERC in
August, 2005 and were further amended in August, 2007 to make
these compliant of National Tariff Policy and CERC directions.
• At present 17 large Supply Consumers have been allowed Open
Access to purchase power from Power Exchanges. Despite the
State facing acute power shortage, 5 Generators (Captive & Cogenerators) have been allowed Open Access to sell power outide
the State in open market.
• The State Government, however, feels that there should be a price
cap on traded power to avoid exploitation of power deficit States by
traders and power surplus States and to ensure that Power Trading
Market functions in a healthy manner
28
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM) &
ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
 The State Government attaches utmost importance to
DSM & Energy Conservation .
 Bachat Lamp Yojna is being implemented in two phases. In
the first phase, 27 Lac consumers would be covered.
 HVDS in AP 80,000 AP consumers converted into HVDS.
Another 4.37 Lac would be covered in next two years.
 Low Cost Maintenance & Loss Reduction Programme.
This involves shifting of meters outside consumers’
premises on poles & pillar boxes. In the first phase 32 Lac
Rural/Urban consumers would be covered. Project cost for
first phase is Rs.700 Cr.
 Segregation of general and AP load on 11 KV Rural
feeders – already completed.
29
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM) &
ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
Cont…2
 Replacement of inefficient pumpsets with efficient pumpset –
Pilot project with 2081 AP consumers being undertaken. To be
extended to entire State thereafter.
 Use of energy efficiency appliances – Consumers are made
aware through publicity to use energy efficient appliances to
reduce consumption.
 Energy Efficient Street Lighting System –project under
implementation by PEDA,
 Implementation of Energy Conservation Building Code – under
consideration of State Government.
 Use of CFLs made obligatory for all AP consumers.
 Provision of Solar Water Heaters in all PSEB Buildings, Govt.
buildings/Guest House etc.
 Power Factor Management – 864 MVAR capacity added in the
system in 2007-08 & 2008-09. Another 1338 MVAR to be added
in 2009-10.

POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION
 For financial sustainability of the Utility, historical
realities/liabilities as prevailing prior to the year 2003
when regulatory regime came into being, as also the
existing realities should not be overlooked while giving
stress on normative approach for determination of ARR of
the Utility. The financial sustainability should, be rather,
one of the prime concern of the Regulatory Commissions
in determining of ARR.
 Payment of compensation by the Board in the event of
failure to meet the Standards of performance notified
under Section 57(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003, should be
as per the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003. Payment
of compensation should not be automatic as specified in
the Supply Code notified by the Punjab State Electricity
31
Regulatory Commission.
POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION
Cont..2
 For determination of Project cost and
apportionment etc of multipurpose hydro
projects, Central Electricity Authority and Central
Water Commission are the Apex Bodies
constituted by the Government of India. The
project cost and the apportionment, after
approval by CEA/CWC, is subsequently also
approved by the Planning Commission. It is felt
that there should not be any intervention of
Regulatory Commissions, thereafter, particularly
for the projects which have been approved prior
to Regulatory Regime.
