Punjab was the second State to achieve 100% Rural Electrification of its 12428 villages in 1976.
Punjab is the first State to provide Urban Pattern Supply (UPS) to all its villages.
Besides 6158 Deras/Dhanis with a cluster of 5 or more houses have also been extended UPS Supply.
Punjab was the first State to achieve 100% segregation of general load from AP load for all 11 KV Rural feeders.
93% of the Households are electrified against all India Average of 48%.

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 pre-requisite 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.
25
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.
26
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.
27
RAJIV GANDHI GRAMEEN VIDYUTIKARAN YOJNA
(RGGVY) 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.
28
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 & Co-generators) 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
29
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.
30
DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT (DSM) & ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
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.

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 Regulatory Commission.
32
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.
