One key lesson from the history of the power sector in India is that the country is too large and diverse for a one-size-fits-all approach.
8A flexible and home-grown approach to reform, which is supported by state and central political will, and which allows for ‘learning by doing’, will be instrumental in determining the success of reforms.
A study suggesting the above has, however, recommended the following
8Greater autonomy for state-owned discoms: For a state-owned utility to succeed, there should be a clear separation between utility and state.
8There can be a variety of distribution franchisees, from models that are essentially outsourcing revenue collection to taking care of all distribution functions (including capital infusion), in a defined area.
8Discoms have a monopoly in their area of functioning. Delicensing distribution can introduce competition and enable retail choice for customers. This reform can be challenging and should be accompanied with careful market design.
8Even where there has been de jure unbundling of state-owned power utilities, they may continue to act as de facto integrated utilities.Vertical unbundling enables transparency in operations of the discom.
8PPP models can be useful in loss-making areas, where commercial operation might not be feasible without support in the form of Viability Gap Funding (VGF) from the government.
