LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Reliance Energy Ltd(formerly BSES Ltd) was incorporated in 1929 as 'Bombay Suburban Electric Supply Limited'. In 1992 the name was changed to 'BSES Limited' as the company entered into various activities besides supply of electricity.  

 
From a modest licensee supplying power to the suburbs of Bombay, BSES is today a multi locational and multidimensional enterprise. In the process it has emerged as the country's leading integrated power company with activities spanning the entire power process right from concept to consumption of electrical energy. 
 
During the year 2004-2005 , the company has modernized and upgraded its two Delhi distribution companies that is BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd which consists of 14 Divisions and 19 Divisions respectively. 
 
The Company has sponsored Reliance Energy Genereation Ltd (REGL) to develop,construct and operate a 3740 MW gas based power generation project at Dhirubhai Ambani Energy City. REGL has been shortlisted as a pre-qualified bidder for 1000 MW Anpara C Power Project in Uttar Pradesh. Also REGL has Signed MOU on 04th April 2005 with Government of Maharashtra to examine the feasibility of setting up a Gas based Combined Cycle Power Plant of 4000 MW in Maharashtra.  

The Company is about to implement 500 MW of wind based power projects across various states in India such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The Company is also exploring hydro based power generation projects in the states of Himachal Projects, Uttaranchal, Arunachal Pradesh and other states having hydro potential. As a result of this, the company has secured 280 MW Sobla Hydro Power Project on the Dhauliganga river in Pithorgarh district of Uttaranchal State

 
The Company has been selected as preferred bidder and the finalised transaction documents have been initialled on 17th January 2005 by Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd for selection of a joint partner for setting up of the transmission line for Parbati and Koldam hydro-electric projects in Himachal Pradesh, on build-own-operate-transfer basis. 

 
BSES, with its corporate lineage going back to 1929, is India's premier utility engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in and around Mumbai. It provides a portfolio of value added services in electrical contracting, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts and computer services. 
 
BSES and its subsidiaries provide electricity service to more than 2.70 million consumers in area covering about 1,23,000 sq. km. and with an estimated population of about 34 million.BSES operates a state-of-the-art 500 MW Thermal Power Station at Dahanu near Mumbai and supplies the power to the Company's own distribution grid. The Generation Division undertakes engineering and construction of power plants. The Transmission Division designs and installs transmission lines and sub-stations. Contracts, EPC and International Divisions render comprehensive value added services in construction, erection and commissioning through a nationwide network of regional office including a representative office in the Middle East. The Computer Division offers a wide range of utility related computer services.BSES is currently promoting several power projects, on its own and through joint ventures, in various parts of India. BSES has also entered into the internet service provider business in a big way. BSES is selling its internet services under the brand name powersurfer.net .  
 
The liberalization of the Indian economy has opened up newer opportunities for the power sector and as the leading private sector player, BSES is poised to take advantage of these reforms.  
 
Strategies upto 2000 A.D. - Power generation, transmission and distribution are areas of core competencies. - 90% of investment to be made in core activities and the balance in other related activities. - Other related activities cover those synergetic to the core activities. - The resources for these projects would be met by BSES and raised through joint ventures.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS: 


 Electricity plays a critical role in supporting a sustained growth in almost all facets of economical development of any country. Availability of reliable and quality power with appropriate blend of superior customer care is the key requirement of an ideal electricity sector. 

 
 The Indian domestic power sector is adversely affected by huge capacity shortages, high level of transmission, distribution and commercial losses, lack of grid discipline, excessive workforce, ageing networks, and lack of commercial orientation. As per Census - 2001, 45% of Indian households do not have access to electricity whereas 56% of rural households do not have access to electricity. 

 
 Against such backdrop, the Government of India ('the Central Government') in association with State Governments have initiated a number of measures for augmenting the sectoral capability. The National Common Minimum Programme (of the Central Government) commits to pay special attention for augmenting and modernizing the rural infrastructure. The household electrification is targeted to be completed in 5 years. Accordingly, the programmes of the Government of India are primarily focused on the following:  
 
 a. Access to electricity - to be made available for all households in the next 5 years 
 b. Availability of power by demand to be fully met by year 2012 
 c. Energy shortage and the peak requirement to be overcome with higher power generation capacity and

development of adequate spinning reserve 

 d. Per capita consumption of electricity to rise to over 1,000 Kwh in the next 10 years (from the existing level of

about 600 Kwh) 

 e. The sector to achieve financial and commercial turn around 

 f. Consumers' interest to be accorded top priority. 

 

 In a bold and comprehensive initiative, the Central Government has enacted the Electricity Act, 2003 ('the Electricity Act') that provides a path forward for changing the paradigm of the electricity sector. The Act seeks to create liberal framework of development for the power sector by distancing Government from regulation. It has replaced the thr ee existing legislations, namely, Indian Electricity Act, 1910, the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 and the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998. 


 The enactment of the Electricity Act was a right step forward by the Central Government. During the last two financial years, the Central Government, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ('CERC') and various State Regulatory Commissions ('SERC') have come out with various rules and regulations for effective implementation of the provisions of the Electricity Act. 

 

These rules/regulations are meant for creating a vibrant and progressive legislative framework to facilitate a targeted 8% to 10% economic growth of India. The sector is envisaged to become more efficient through development of competitive market. 


 The said Act permits free entry into generation thereby delicensing generation with captive generation being freely permitted. This would expedite the project cycle from the project planning to completion stage and would offer much relief to Independent Power Producers. It is not just the simplified procedures for setting up generation facilities, that the Act offers to generating companies, by allowing open access to transmission lines and thir d par ty sales, it w ould also allow generating companies to bypass State Electricity Boards ('SEBs') and sell power directly to industrial houses. This will make the valuation of generating companies more attractive because they will have a better cash-flow position. The generating companies will now not face the problem of timely recovery of dues from bankrupt distribution utilities and the sector can hope to see more investments. The Act introduces the possibility of third party sale by generators, instead of only to SEBs and thereby moving away from the single buyer model, which would bring in competition in power supply to both bulk and retail consumers. Also, the Act permits open access to transmission lines which would in turn unlock the bottled capacities of the captive power plants. 
 
 The Central Government in the last fiscal year has notified a comprehensive policy namely 'National Electricity Policy'. The policy aims at laying guidelines for accelerated development of the power sector, providing supply of electricity to all areas and protecting interests of consumers and other stakeholders keeping in view availability of energ y resources, technology available to exploit these resources, economics of generation using different resources, and energy security issues. 


 
 The National Electricity Policy has been evolved in consultation with and taking into account views of the State Governments, Central Electricity Authority ('CEA'), Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ('CERC') and other stakeholders. 
 
 The National Electricity Policy has set the goal of adding new generation capacity of more than 1,00,000 MW during the 10th and 11th Plan periods so as to achieve per capita availability of over 1,000 units of electricity per year and to not only eliminate energy and peaking shortages but to also have a spinning reserve of 5% in the system. Development of the power sector has also to meet the challenge of providing access for electricity to all households in the next five years. 

 
 The Central Government has followed the enactment of the Electricity Act with other major reform initiatives during the period under review, which include: 

 
 * Formation of Appellate Tribunal for Electricity 

 * National Tariff Policy 

 * Ultra Mega Projects 

 * Integrated Power Policy 

 * Launch of nation-wide Rural Electricity Infrastructure and Household Electrification Programme - Rajiv Gandhi

Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana 

 

Opportunities & Threats: 

 
 The enactment of the Electricity Act, 2003 has brought about reforms in the generation, transmission and distribution of power in the country including provision to harness captive power generation and renewable energy generation. The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulation, 2005 directs that the tariff proposals hereafter be submitted in segregated businesses of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of power, both, for wheeling and in retail. 


 The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Distribution Open Access) Regulations, 2005 enables eligible consumers to have open access to the distribution system of such Distribution licensee for obtaining supply of electricity from a Generating company or from a licensee other than such Distribution licensee or from Trading company. The regulation has provided for phase wise eligibility criteria according to which consumers with a contract demand of more than 2 MVA but less than 5 MVA are eligible for open access from 1st April, 2006 onwards. 

 

The company's fixed assets of important value includes land, building and roads, plant and machinery, distribution systems overhead, underground, vehicles, furniture and fixtures, electrical fitting and apparatus, refrigerators and domestic appliances.

REL restores power in all flood-hit homes

Thursday, 04 August , 2005, 16:28

 

Reliance Energy Limited has announced that in a massive operation under the most trying conditions, the Company that supplies power to North Mumbai suburbs on August 04, 2005 has successfully restored normal power supply to all residential areas affected by the century's worst downpour on the city.

 

The Company deployed its men and machinery on a war footing to restart all its transformers. Areas like Saki, Kurla and Kalina had been badly affected due to last week's heavy flooding and remained inaccessible for any repairs to be carried out.

 

The Company, however, managed to switch on a maximum number of transformers in these areas in the shortest possible time by working relentlessly. All the flood-hit areas that suffered power cuts due to the natural calamity now have normal supply.

 

The Company was compelled to switch off power supply in the waterlogged areas as a safety precaution and to avoid electrocution. In fact, several alert users made appeals to the Company Call Centre and officials to switch off power as water levels began to rise. It may be noted that not a single case of electrocution has been reported due to above factors.

 

The Company's Operation Restoration has been severely hampered by non-stop heavy downpour, water-logging and slush accumulation, which made the areas inaccessible and even dangerous for the entire week. The transformers took a very long time to dry due to the continuous rains and absence of sunshine for over five days. Continuous ambient humidity on all electric supply equipment posed compounded risk to the company's engineers and workers.

Even though the water may have appeared to recede in some areas, unexpected cable faults of underground cabling was another factor which severely hampered repair work. Any attempt to switch on power under such circumstances would have resulted in human disaster.

 

It was also humanly impossible to reach out to and then work for several hours and days together in affected areas that had collected mounds of garbage and animal carcasses spreading intolerable stench.

 

Moreover, many Company's teams, which managed to reach the waterlogged areas to carry out repairs despite all these challenges, were subjected to physical intimidation and violence. The speed of operation restoration' was further disrupted as elements from different places 'hijacked' the Company's teams under threat, to attend to their problem areas first.

 

Despite all these impediments and challenges, the Company's teams have demonstrated immense courage and commitment, fulfilling the gigantic task of restoring power with a missionary zeal.

 

The Company wishes to thank all authorities and valued customers for their support during these very trying times for the city.

 

REL continues to redress power supply related complaints

amidst continued attacks on its employees

 

Mumbai, 13th July, 2006: REL employees have been making valiant attempts to attend to repairs and maintenance work and consumer complaints amidst continued rein of unrest and vandalism being unleashed by a group of miscreants in the Malad, Dindoshi and Kandivali areas. Led by one Mr. SG Kanade, an ex-employee of REL, the group has been obstructing repair works, threatening staff and officers and even assaulting and manhandling the maintenance teams in the field. For the last few days, REL teams have been attending to consumer complaints under police and security cover, which is leading to delayed restoration of supply and redressal of consumer complaints. REL’s endeavor has received appreciable support from large number of consumers and several electrical contractors who have come forward to help the maintenance crew on duty. They are proud of their employees and grateful to their consumers and electrical contractors for braving the situation together with us”, said an REL spokesperson. REL was all praise for the police authorities who have been helping them despite the precarious law and order situation in the metro” REL has further appealed to the consumers in the aforesaid areas to bear immediately inform any untoward incidence or any kind of suspicious movement that they may notice taking place near their electrical installations on power helpline 3030 3030 or 3009 7222 or 3009 7223. While the police are on the look out for the suspected miscreants, REL has apprised the Government of Maharashtra of the prevailing situation and is hopeful of a swift action in this matter.
