UDAY Scheme
Improving operational efficiencies of Discoms.
Reduction of cost of power.
Reduction in interest cost of Discoms.
Enforcing financial discipline on Discoms through alignment with state finances.

UP’s UDAY Scheme ‐ salient features
States shall take over 75% of DISCOM debt as on September 30, 2015 over two years:◦ 50% in 2015‐16.◦ 25% in 2016‐17.
GoI will not include this debt in calculating fiscal deficit of states.
States shall take over the future losses of DISCOM in a graded manner:
.
2016‐17 •5%
2017‐18 •10%
2018‐19 •25%

•Renewable Generation Obligation and Renewable Energy Service Company introduced, along with the existing Renewable Purchase Obligation[1].
•Distribution/supply licensees to be obligated to supply 24×7 power [42]•Mandatory metering of electricity consumption, and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) [45];

Proposed Amendments to Electricity Act 2003 ‐ Impact on Utilities
Proposed Amendments Impact How to AddressSeparation of Carriage and Content: Distribution and supply are defined explicitly and to be segregated [1].
- 'Legacy' Network losses?- Cherry Picking of Consumers
- Metering of all supplies, DTs/Feeders for energy accounting- Freedom to offer 'menu of tariffs'
Renewable Generation Obligation (RGO)
- RGO already present in some form (e.g. RE bundling by NTPC)
- Presence of RGO and RPO may have operational challenges- Strengthen REC Market for compliance
Distribution/supply licensees to be obligated to supply 24×7 power [42]
- How to ensure this with C & C separation?- Who would be penalised for 'network' issues rather than supply issue?
- Strengthening and automation of distribution system with effective monitoring- Should provide for Reliability based (curtailable) tariff
Mandatory metering of electricity consumption, and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) [45];
- Improved estimation of distribution loss
- Need to be further strengthened by mandating electricity supply only based on metered consumption
Closure Regulatory Scrutiny/control over Power Purchase [42, 49]
- Return of intrusive regulatory regime
- Better SoP Compliance mechanism with incentive/ disincentives
