1. INTRODUCTION
Rajasthan is the largest state in geographical
area in the country. It comprises of vast arid
land and desert region. Agriculture is the main
vocation of the people in the State. State has
very little surface water irrigation potential,
which has been almost fully exploited. Ground
water is main source of irrigation.
The power sector in Rajasthan has witnessed
substantial improvement over the past decade
due to increase in generation capacity and
strengthening of network infrastructure
leading to an improvement in the overall
power supply position of the state. Currently,
most connected consumers in the state are
being provided with at least 21-22 hours of
power supply. However, there are areas in the
state which experience unduly long
interruptions in power supply due to
inadequacies in the distribution infrastructure.
Moreover, a large portion of non-agriculture
consumers in rural areas are supplied through
single phase only. Further, there is a large
section of households in the state i.e. about 29
%, which is yet to be electrified.
Electricity is a concurrent subject and
distribution of electricity falls under the
purview of the respective State
Government/State Power Utility. As per
Electricity Act 2003, it is the duty of a
distribution licensee to develop and maintain
an efficient, co-ordinated and economical
distribution system in his area of supply and to
supply electricity in accordance with the
provisions contained in the Act. The State
Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC)
shall specify or enforce standards with respect
to quality, continuity and reliability of service
by licensees. Accordingly, State Electricity
Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) have
notified the Standards of Performance
specifying maximum allowable time for
restoration of supply due to forced
breakdowns and Supply Code specifying the
supply voltages & frequency etc, to be
followed by Discoms. SERCs also monitors
the performance of distribution companies on
the basis of notified Performance of Standards.
To supplement the efforts of State
Government, Government of India and
Government of Rajasthan have taken a joint
initiative to provide 24 X 7 power in the state
to all consumers (except agriculture
consumers). Agriculture consumers will be
provided 6.5 -7 Hrs. of supply daily. This
initiatives aims at ensuring uninterrupted
supply of quality power to existing consumers
by the end of 12th
plan and providing access to
electricity to all unconnected consumers in the
next five years.
An exercise has been carried out to assess the
additional energy requirement for providing
24x7 power supply to all households in the
state, financial implications on utilities for
procuring additional energy and per unit
implication on tariff for additional energy.
Based on the exercise, the sensitivity analysis
has been carried out for cost of service and
resulting Financial Gap under multiple
scenarios on various parameters namely, tariff
hike, reduction in power procurement cost,
increase in interest and moratorium period,
AT&C loss reduction, etc.
An assessment of the adequacy of availability
of power to the state from various sources i.e.
from generating sources owned by the state
both existing and under construction, from
central sector stations both existing and under
construction, Common projects, generating
sources owned by private sector and PPAs
have been made. Inter State Transmission
System (ISTS), Intra state Transmission
System and distribution infrastructure have
been reviewed to ensure their adequacy for
providing 24x7 power in the states. Works
required for strengthening and augmentation
of distribution infrastructure have been
identified for supplying uninterrupted power
to the consumers. Central Government will
supplement the efforts of the State
6
Government through schemes which are being
finalised by Ministry of Power for funding of
works required for strengthening and
augmentation of distribution infrastructure,
feeder segregation and 100% metering.
The initiatives for providing 24x7 power in the
state mainly includes-
1. Reliable 24X7 supply to the consumers
(except agriculture) within a period of
three years of commencement of the
program. Agriculture consumers will be
supplied power for 6.5-7 Hrs daily.
2. All unconnected households to be
provided access to electricity in a time
bound manner in next five years i.e. by FY
2018-19.
3. To ensure adequate capacity addition
planning & tie ups for power from various
sources at affordable price to meet the
projected increase in power demand for
future.
4. Strengthen the Transmission and
Distribution network to cater to the
expected growth in demand of existing as
well as forthcoming consumers.
5. Financial measures including optimizing
investments and undertaking necessary
balance sheet restructuring measures to
ensure liquidity in the utility finances.
6. To ensure reduction of AT & C losses as
per the agreed loss reduction trajectory.
7. Measures such as energy mix
optimization, reduction in power
procurement costs, improving operational
efficiency of state generation plant(s) and
optimal fuel procurement costs including
sources of supply.
8. Introduce modern technologies to monitor
reliable supply like sub-station automation,
providing adequate communication
infrastructure, GIS, Reliability, Centralised
Network Analysis and Planning tools, SAP
driven ERP systems, DMS (Distribution
Management Systems), OMS (Outage
Management System), etc.
9. Monitoring the timely commissioning of
various generating plants, transmission and
distribution infrastructure to meet the
expected growth in demand.
10. To meet the performance standards of
supply of electricity as mandated by the
Regulators.
An Action plan has been drawn based on the
above covenants which will be executed by
the State Govt with the support of Govt of
India, wherever necessary, as per their
approved plans, schemes and policies. This
joint initiative of Government of India and
Government of Rajasthan aims to enhance the
satisfaction levels of the consumers, improve
the quality of life of people, and increase the
economic activities resulting into inclusive
development of the State.

2. POWER SUPPLY POSITION
2.1. POWER SUPPLY POSITION
Maximum peak demand in Rajasthan attained
so far was 10,047 MW during last year (2013-
14) which was also met almost in full.
Similarly, the energy availability was 58042
MUs against the requirement of 58202 MUs.
The gap between energy requirement and
energy availability in Rajasthan is on the
decline since 2011-12 when it was 3.9% and it
has now come down to less than 1%.
Similarly, demand-supply gap during peak
hours in the state has reduced from 7.1% in
2011-12 to almost Nil at present due to
significant addition in generation capacity
during the 11th Plan and the 12th Plan period
so far. The table 2.1 shows the trends of power
supply position in Rajasthan.
Rajasthan got benefit of about 2339 MW
(Excluding RES) from the power projects
commissioned during 11th
Plan with 434 MW
from Central sector stations, 1290 MW from
State Sector stations, 540 MW from private
sector stations and 75 MW from Mundra
UMPP.
The state’s likely benefit from the power
stations planned to come up by the end of 12th
plan period would be about 4859 MW, which
includes 1307 MW from Central sector projects,
1260 MW from State sector projects and 2292
MW from Private Sector projects. All the State
and Private sector power projects and a few
Central sector projects, which were planned to
come up during the 12th
plan period, already
stand commissioned providing a benefit of
about 3,813 MW to the state. Additional benefit
of about 1050 MW will be available to
Rajasthan from the Central Sector projects,
which have to come up by the end of the 12th
Plan.
The sizable benefit of about 6,150 MW from the
power projects commissioned in Rajasthan and
other parts of the country subsequent to the end
of 10th
Plan has helped Rajasthan become
almost self-reliant in meeting the demand of
power in the state today.

2.2. DEMAND PROJECTIONS
The present energy requirement of Rajasthan
is of the order of 58.9 BU per year and the
introduction of 24X7 supply across the State is
likely to increase the electricity consumption
substantially in the State. The demand can be
classified in three broad categories.
(a) Demand on account of 24X 7 power
supply to already electrified households
(b) Demand on account of 24X7 power
supply to already electrified other than
domestic category
(c) Demand from electrification of un-
electrified households
Estimation of demand considering the 24X7
supply program
As per Census 2011 data, there were about
125.81 Lakhs households in the State and
67% households were using electricity as
main source of lighting in the state. The
details of households as per census 2011 are
as under:

(Source: Census of India )
The no of Households in the state in 2014
based on census 2011 data and Compound
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20 years
(census of 1991 & 2011) works out to be
139.99 Lakhs ( 105.22 Lakhs Rural & 34.77
Lakhs Urban). However, as per GoR, as on
01-Apr-2014 there are about 125 Lakhs
households in the State (Rural 93.05 lakhs and
Urban 32.16 lakhs). Out of this 58.20 lakhs
households in rural area and 30.26 lakhs
households in urban area are electrified
leaving a balance of 34.85 lakhs households in
rural area and 1.9 lakhs households in urban
areas yet to be electrified. The total no of un-
electrified households in the State of
Rajasthan based on Census figures and as per
GoR are as under-

In urban area, only 15,000 applications are
pending for connections and remaining
households may be utilizing electricity on
share basis as a united family. Out of 34.85
lakhs un-electrified rural households in the
state, only about 25 lakhs households may be
considered as un-electrified as balance
households may be using the electricity on
shared basis as a united family. Considering
the fast growth in urban area and looking to
the past trend, 5 lakhs connection are likely to
be released in urban areas in next five years
considering one lakh connections per year.
To compute the demand from hitherto un-
electrified households the following steps have
been adopted:
(a) The number of electrified and un-
electrified households in 2014 has been
taken as per Govt of Rajasthan data.
9
(b) The electrification of 30 Lakh un-
electrified households have been
considered as per GoR data.
(c) Based on the urban & rural consumption
data provided by GoR, present per
household consumption has been assessed.
(d) Energy requirement for rural & urban
households have been computed based on
the latent demand and considering growth
of per household consumption from the
current levels of 1.96 units/day to 3 units/
day in rural areas by 2018-19 and from 5.5
units/day to 8 units /day in urban areas by
2018-19.
(e) Demand projections for consumers other
than domestic have been taken as per
Financial Restructuring Plan (FRP).
(f) Basis the above, the overall consumption
for domestic & non domestic have been
estimated for the state.
The overall energy requirement for state of
Rajasthan by 2018-19 based on the above is
given in the tables below.
(a) Demand from electrified households
The improvement of supply as well as natural load growth will result in increase of the consumption
levels in the hitherto electrified households. The overall consumption and the additional
consumption have been estimated by projecting an increase in per household consumption from the
current levels of 1.96 units/day to 3 units/ day in rural areas by 2018-19 and from 5.5 units/day to 8
units /day in urban areas by 2018-19 in the table below.

The above figure of energy requirement is
also in line with the projections made in 18th
EPS by CEA for the state of Rajasthan. As per
18th
EPS of CEA, the projected energy
requirement of Rajasthan is 89,792 MU by
2018-19 and after assuming load factor of
64% for Rajasthan, the anticipated Peak
demand of the state would be around 16004
MW.
By using energy efficient irrigation pump-sets
and energy efficient lighting (use of LEDs),
the energy consumption of the state is
expected to reduce by 7950 MUs during
2018-19. This would also help in reducing the
peak demand by around 800-1000 MW by
2018-19. Further reduction in peak demand
may also be achieved by adopting demand
side management initiatives like introduction
of Time of Day (TOD) tariff in the state
Keeping in view the above requirement, an
assessment of the adequacy of Generation,
Transmission and Distribution infrastructure
has been done to meet the projected demand
and the same are covered in the subsequent
chapters.

3. GENERATION PLAN
3.1. EXISTING GENERATION CAPACITY
The total installed capacity as on June 2014
(including allocated share in Joint & Central
Sector plants) was 15,201 MW including 56%
from coal based generation, 11 % from hydro
based generation and 24 % from renewable
energy sources. The installed capacity has
grown from 10160 MW to 15201 MW which
is a growth of over 19.6 % per annum during
the last two and a quarter year i.e. from
31.03.2012 to 30.06.2014 - contributed from
additions to coal based (3469 MW) and
renewable based (1274 MW) generation
capacity. The figure 1.1 and table 3.1 provide
the fuel-wise and sector-wise generation
capacity mix respectively in Rajasthan, as on
30th
June, 2014.
Figure 1.1: Generation capacity Fuel Mix
Source: CEA
Rajasthan has met a peak demand of 10,038
MW during 2013-14 and it is expected that
the peak demand of Rajasthan would be
around 16000 MW by 2018-19 considering
the additional energy requirement for
providing 24X7 power supply to the State.
The present energy requirement is of the order
of 58.29 BU per year and is likely to increase
to 89.6 BU per year by 2018-19.
To meet the expected demand of the state,
capacity addition of 6145.15 MW is expected
in the state by 2018-19 from under
construction projects. Out of which about 625
MW is from non-conventional energy sources
and 5520.15 MW from conventional sources.
As such the total anticipated available
capacity by 2018-19 is expected to be
21346.14 MW. (17081 MW–Conventional &
4265 MW–Renewable). Taking into
consideration the 70% contribution from
conventional installed capacity and 8% from
non-conventional installed capacity to meet
the peak demand, the capacity available for
meeting the peak demand of 16000 MW
would be around 12298 MW.

Further, GoR has planned coal based projects
of 4520 MW in the states which includes
projects of 2920 MW in state sector ( i.e
Kalisindh TPS Unit # 3 & 4 (2 X 660 MW) &
Banswara TPS Unit #1 & 2 (2 X 800 MW))
and projects of 1600 MW (Banswara TPS
Unit # 1 & 2 (2 X 800 MW)) under case -2.
Also 3600 MW of renewable energy is also
planned to be available for the state by 2018-
19. Although, there are issues of coal linkage
for these project, however, these coal based
projects are important to meet the expected
peak demand of the state. The list of projects
under construction and future projects are
provided in table no – 3.2 & 3.3

3.2. POWER PROCUREMENT COSTS
The power purchase cost accounts for ~ 66 %
of the total expenditure of distribution
companies in FY 2013-14. These can further
increase due to dependency on the imported
coal on account of shortages in supply of
domestic coal.
The breakup of power purchase cost from
various sources is shown below:

3.3. ISSUES REGARDING COAL
PROCUREMENT PLAN
(a) Unit 6 of Chhabra SCTPS of 1X660
MW
This unit is expected to be commissioned by
June’18. However conditional environmental
clearance (EC) has been received for this unit,
on the basis of which four old units of Kota
Thermal Power Stations Unit-I to Unit-IV
aggregating to 640 MW would have to shut
down and coal allocated to these units be used
for 660 MW CTPP Unit#6. Retirement of
Kota units is not desirable as the units have
been operating at good efficiency and plant
availability levels.
The EC for Chhabra unit-6 should be delinked
from the KTPS Unit-I to Unit-IV. Though
coal for Chhabra Unit # 6 has been linked
from enhanced mining capacity of 10 to 15
MTPA of RVUN’s ‘Parsa East & Kanta
Basan’ coal blocks, yet it requires EC for 15
MTPA capacity which will take long time.
RVUN has already awarded order for
execution of this unit in 2013 and work for
this unit could not commence at site for want
of Environment Clearance.
Mining Plan has been approved in Nov 2013
and enhanced mining capacity will not require
any additional land. In view of above, MOEF
15
to consider to grant EC for unit 6 based on 15
MTPA approved mining Plan or Ministry of
Coal to grant tapering linkage of coal (3.25
MTPA) for this unit.
(b) Coal Requirement:
(i) Coal Requirement Based on Linkage
with CIL
Letter of assurance (LOA) / linkage
quantity of RVUN’s post 2009
commissioned units i.e. Suratgarh TPS
Unit # 6 (250 MW), Kota TPS Unit # 7
(195 MW) and Chhabra Unit #1 & 2 (2
X 250 MW) is for 65% PLF which
need to be enhanced. Apart from this,
in order to achieve higher efficiency of
the plants materialization of coal
supply need to be increased to 100 %
of LOA.
Further, a statement showing coal
requirement, availability, shortage and
additional coal requirement in Million

TPS (Unit# 3&4-2X250MW) &
Kalisindh (Unit#1&2 -2X600MW) and
part coal requirement for STTPP
Unit#7& 8 and CTPP Unit# 5&6.
Mining plan of Parsa East and Kanta
Basan coal blocks (10 MTPA) was
approved by MoC in July, 2009.
Ministry of Coal, GoI in Feb 2012
accorded ‘in principle’ approval to
allow the use of coal mined from ‘Parsa
East & Kanta Basan’ coal blocks in the
Super Critical Projects of 2x660 MW
Chhabra (Unit#5&6) and 2x660 MW
Suratgarh (Unit # 7 & 8) after
considering mining capacity
enhancement from 10 MTPA to 15
MTPA and directed RVUN to furnish a
revised mining plan of enhanced
capacity. Subsequently, Revised
Mining Plan of Parsa east and Kanta
Basan (15MTPA) coal blocks was
approved by Ministry of Coal in Nov
2013. The requirement of coal for these
super critical projects will be from July
2016.
GoR need to pursue for expediting
Environment Clearance from MoEF for
enhanced mining capacity from 10
MTPA to15 MTPA in respect of Parsa
East & Kanta Basan Coal Blocks. GoI
to facilitate in expediting the
environment clearance for 15 MTPA
capacity.

Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India had
allocated Kente Extn. Coal block to
RVUN in August 2013 subject to certain
clarifications/ confirmations. The
required clarifications/confirmations on
above were furnished in Oct /Nov 2013.
The formal allotment letter in this regard
is still awaited and RVUN has not been
able to proceed further for obtaining
necessary clearances, licenses and
approvals etc. from the concerned
authorities. The coal from this coal block
shall be used in meeting balance
requirement of coal for Suratgarh Super
Critical TPP Unit 7&8 (2x660 MW) and
Chhabra Super Critical TPP Unit 5&6
(2x660 MW).

India in 2011 for construction of new
broad gauge Rail Line between Ratlam
(MP) and Dungarpur (Rajasthan) via
Banswara. Rail Link project cost is Rs
2083 Crores out of which 50% cost of
project and 100 % cost of acquisition of
land in Rajasthan & MP (approx. Rs.
1200 Crores) will be borne by GoR.
RVUN has already deposited Rs. 200
Crores with Railways in the month of
March, 2011. The construction work of
new rail line has commenced.
Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam
(RVUN) had applied to MoC for grant of
long term linkage of coal for Kalisindh
(Unit 3 & 4) & Banswara (Unit 1 & 2)
State sector projects on 19.01.2010 and
subsequently applied for allocation of

Ministry of Coal has allocated a small
captive Kente Ext coal bock on
05.08.2013 against the above application
dated 30.01.2013 for meeting the coal
requirement of under construction
projects only & not for these new
projects.
RVUN had also applied to MOC for grant
of long term linkage of coal for IPP
project on 16.04.2009 and for allocation
of coal block on 30.01.2013. Ministry of
Power has already recommended for
grant of coal linkage for IPP project to
Ministry of Coal on 20.08.2010.
Environmental Clearance could not be
granted by MOEF for want of assurance
of Long Term Linkage of Coal/allocation
of Coal Block for these State sector &
IPP projects.
GoR need to pursue for allocation of new

3.7. RENEWABLE ENERGY PLAN
Rajasthan is endowed with abundant
potential of renewable energy sources
particularly wind and solar. State has
already issued liberal policies for
promotion of renewable energy
generation.
It is proposed to set up renewable
energy plants of about 10,240 MW
capacity in the state by 2018-19. Out of
this, 7500 MW would be from solar &
2740 MW from wind.
The solar capacity of 7500 MW would
be developed as under-
• Through VGF based competitive
bidding – 1000 MW
6500 MW • Open access scheme within state
and other than state /captive use
• REC (solar) mechanism
• Nation Solar Mission Ph-II, Batch I
& II
• Nation Solar Mission Ph-III, Batch I
Out of 7500 MW Solar capacity, 1000
MW is planned to be set up for the state
through competitive bidding on VGF
base @ Rs 2.5 Crores / MW to make
available solar power at a lower rate of
Rs 5.5 / unit to ensure less burden on the
state discoms. The other 6500 MW of
solar projects will be developed by IPPs.
2740 MW from wind – These projects
will be developed by IPPs as per Govt of
Rajasthan wind Policy up to the RPO
target set up by SERC. As such no
funding from State or Central Govt
would be required from these projects.
20
It is proposed that 4225 MW (625MW
U/C +3600 MW) of renewable energy
will be available for the state for its own
use.

To facilitate drawl of power by Rajasthan and
to meet projected peak load of 16000 MW by
2018-19 a robust Inter-state transmission
system (ISTS) has been planned and is under
construction. Further for evacuation of power
from state generating stations as well as for
transfer to various load centres within
Rajasthan, a vast Intra State Transmission
Network has been developed by Rajasthan
Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd
(RRVPNL). ISTS projects under construction
are as below:
4.1.1. ISTS Projects under construction
a) Gwalior–Jaipur-Bhiwani 765kV 2xS/c
line – 1100 Ckm
Construction of 1100 circuit km of 765kV
line is under implementation as part of
various schemes. Gwalior – Jaipur 765 kV
lines would facilitate import from the pit head
coal based generating stations located in
Eastern and Western regions. From these lines
power of the order of about 2000-3000 MW
can be transferred to Rajasthan. Similarly,
Jaipur – Bhiwani 765 kV lines would
facilitate import of power from the various
hydro power stations located in the states of
Himachal and J&K. During off peak period, it
would facilitate export of power from
Rajasthan.
b) RAPP–Kota-Jaipur 400kV D/c–
(480ckms) and RAPP-Shujalpur 400kV
D/c-(500ckm):
To improve evacuation of power from RAPP
generation complex to load centres of
Rajasthan and to facilitate evacuation of
power from proposed RAPP-C (2x700MW)
generation - a 400kV D/c from RAPP
generation complex to Jaipur with one circuit
via Kota has been proposed and is to be taken
up by POWERGRID.
RAPP-Shujalpur 400kV D/c would connect
RAPP generation complex with Shujalpur in
Madhya Pradesh, Western Region. The line
would help Rajasthan to receive power from
WR - as and when need arises. Further, when
Rajasthan is surplus, the power can be
exported to WR. The line is being taken up
under Tariff Based competitive bidding and is
expected by November 2016.
c) State-of-the-Art Static Var
Compensator (SVC) at Kankroli
Kankroli is a major substation located in the
south western part of Northern Grid. It is
connected to RAPP-5&6 nuclear generations
by a 400kV D/c line. Further, it is also
connected to Western Region via Kankroli-
Zerda / Bhinmal 400kV D/c line. However the
Kankroli area faces voltage constraints.
Accordingly (+) 400 MVAR / (-300) MVAR
Static Var Compensators has been proposed at
Kankroli S/s. The Static Var compensator
23
shall help in controlling the voltage and
providing reliable supply to the area.
d) System strengthening
To meet the growing power demand of
Rajasthan - various augmentation and system
strengthening activities are proposed to be
carried out progressively such as
augmentation of transformer capacity by 500
MVA at Bassi 400/220 substation, Sikar –
Jaipur 400 kV D/c- 340 ckm and Sikar –
Ratangarh 400 kV D/c-160 ckm lines are also
under implementation.
e) Transmission System for integration of
Large Scale Renewable
In Rajasthan, existing renewable energy
capacity is about 3,524 MW (As on Mar’14).
The transmission system has been planned for
7333 MW out of the proposed capacity of
10,240 MW renewable capacity by 2018-19
which is mainly through solar and wind
generation. The additional evacuation system
for balance RE capacity, if required, will be
planned and implemented in due course of
time in consultation with State Govt.

Based on the capacity additions, it is expected
that Rajasthan may have more RE capacity
than required for meeting their Renewable
Purchase Obligations (RPO). Further,
Rajasthan may not be able to absorb the entire
RE energy locally - particularly during off-
peak period - when renewable generation is at
its peak. In addition, the IEGC stipulates the
renewable energy plants as “MUST RUN”
24
and not to be subjected to “merit order
dispatch” principles.
To address above aspects and the
intermittency nature of renewable energy
generation, development of strong and
reliable grid interconnections is important.
There is a need to strengthen Interstate
transmission which shall facilitate transfer of
power outside the RE resource rich states.
In order to facilitate integration of large scale
renewable generation capacity by 2018-19, a
comprehensive transmission plan comprising
of intra state and interstate transmission
system strengthening has been evolved as a
part of “Green Energy Corridors”. As part of
this corridor, under ISTS four Nos. of
765/400kV substation would be established in
Rajasthan i.e. at Chittorgarh, Bhadla, Ajmer
& Suratgarh.
The corridor envisages high capacity 765kV
D/c lines which would traverse across
Rajasthan from Southern to Northern part of
Rajasthan as well as from Western to Central
part. The corridor would connect major
renewable pockets in Rajasthan and would
facilitate export of power from Rajasthan.
Further the corridor would be integrated with
ISTS station at Moga. This would facilitate
Rajasthan to integrate with Hydro generation
complex of NR for facilitate balancing
requirement. An additional ISTS
strengthening which includes establishment of
new 400/220kV substation at Akal-II and its
connectivity with 400 kV Jodhpur (new) and
Bhadla (new) Substation is also proposed. As
part of this corridor 400kv Jodhpur is also
proposed to be connected to high capacity
765/400 kv Ajmer substation which would be
connected to planned Green Energy
Corridors.
Figure 4.1Proposed ISTS Transmission
Corridor for RE in Rajasthan
To facilitate pooling of power from various
RE generations at various points of common
coupling (PCC), transfer to various load
centres and interconnection with the ISTS
points - the intra state strengthening scheme
has been evolved by RVPN / PGCIL
Summary of proposed Inter-state transmission
system strengthening schemes - for which
investment is to be made as a part of Green
Energy Corridor is as shown below:

was decided that this system shall be taken up for
implementation only after receipt of application
for Connectivity and LTA for sufficient quantum
from Solar/ wind generation developers
around Bhadla area

• Jodhpur (New) - Ajmer (New) 400 kV
D/c (Quad)
Estimated cost (c): Rs 1700 Cr
Total Estimated cost (a+b+c): Rs 8600 Cr
f) Renewable Energy Management
Centres (REMC)
Renewable generation especially wind is
characterized by its intermittent & variable
characteristics. Therefore other controlling
infrastructure such as forecasting of
renewable generation, balancing
infrastructure, dynamic compensation,
establishment of Renewable Energy
Management centres (REMC), at
SLDC/RLDC/NLDC level, real time
measurement/monitoring, Energy storage etc.
have also been identified as part of the green
energy corridors.
Establishment of Renewable Energy
Management Centres (REMC) has also been
proposed for the State of Rajasthan
considering the high level of renewable
penetration. REMC shall perform real time
26
monitoring of renewable generation as well as
renewable generation forecasting exclusively
on different time scales. Integration of REMC
with existing control centres would facilitate
scheduling & dispatch of RE power. Further,
in order to facilitate real time dynamic state
measurement at RE pooling stations or point
of common coupling, installation of
PMU/PDC and associated Fibre optic
communication links are considered to be
established in a unified manner.
g) Adequacy of ISTS
• The planned ISTS system is sufficient
to meet the power transfer requirement
of Rajasthan by 2018-19 to meet the
projected demand of about 16000MW.
• Interstate transmission system for
integration of renewable generation is
adequate for 7333MW capacity
addition, however in case of for
increased quantum, additional
transmission system is required, and
the same would be planned after
discussion with the State Govt.
Note: The proposed tr. system is evolved considering a
particular load generation scenario and network
configuration, which may change from time to time
depending upon actual load growth, generation
capacity addition, network development etc. In case of
any change in the above consideration, the proposed
transmission system needs to be reviewed.
h) Fund requirement :
Total estimated cost in Rajasthan for Inter
State Transmission Network strengthening
(ISTS) is Rs 12,216 Crs. The inter-state
scheme of Rs 3616 Cr is under
implementation, therefore balance (8600 Crs)
investment is required for ISTS strengthening.
� Interstate: Rs 12,216 Cr
• Rs 3616 Cr (for schemes listed under
4.1.1(a) to (d)) [Under
implementation]
• Rs 8600 Cr for Green energy corridor
i.e. integration of renewables
� Rs 1663 Cr (implemented by
POWERGRID with 70% loan
and 30% equity)
� Rs 6937 Cr (Implementing
agency yet to be tied up)
The debt component (70%) of transmission
system being developed by POWERGRID
(Rs 1663 Cr) is funded through concessional
loan from KfW, Germany. The implementing
agency (ies) for balance transmission system
(Rs 6937 Cr) is yet to be identified for which
funding would be through own resources and
external borrowing. However to rationalize
the transmission tariff soft loan from
multilateral funding agencies is required. In
such cases sovereign guarantee is required
from GoI.
Action Points- CTU
• POWERGRID/Implementing agency
to ensure development of interstate
transmission as indicated above
progressively by 2018-19
• State nodal agency shall ensure that
Renewable generation developer apply
for connectivity/Long term access for
its integration in the ISTS.
• To plan and develop the additional
transmission system (if required) for
evacuation of anticipated RE power
more than 7333 MW in the state.
• In order to integrate large scale
variable generation and address its
inherent characteristics of
intermittency & variability, there is a
need of addressing it through suitable
mitigating measures like balancing &
control infrastructure. Balancing
infrastructure includes enlargement of
balancing area through strong grid
interconnection, flexible generation
27
resources like Pumped storage plants
(PSP), large scale battery storage etc.
In addition control infrastructure like
Renewable forecasting system,
Renewable Energy Management
Centre (REMC), Dynamic reactive
compensation, Real time monitoring
etc. are also required to be provided.
To address the issue, a technical
consultancy on aspects like strategy &
road map for providing balancing
infrastructure, assessment of balancing
capacity of control areas & measures
to enhance it, technological roadmap
etc. is being carried out as part of
technical assistance (upto Eur 2
million grant) from GIZ, Germany to
be completed in 2014-15.
GOI Intervention
GoI may identify implementing agency
(ies) for development of balance ISTS
(Rs 6937 Cr) for integration of
renewable.
4.2. INTRA STATE TRANSMISSION

4.2.3 Investment for intra state
transmission network:
Total investment of Rs 11,530 Crs:
• Rs 6,848 Crs for intra state system
(incl. cost of Augmentations,
SCADA, IT items, establishment of
metering , communication & data
control centres, ERP, RMU, PLCC
equipment etc.)
• Rs 4,682 Crs for Green energy
corridor (incl. Rs 1018.31 Crs
scheme proposed under KFW
funding)
The funding for the above investment will be
arranged by borrowing from financial
institutions with required equity support
from GoR. The recovery of the above
investment will be done through wheeling
charges which will be factored in the tariff.
Details of above investment for intrastate
transmission network are given at Annexure –
IV
4.2.4. Adequacy of State Transmission
system - Rajasthan Transco
The above proposed transmission
system will be capable of meeting
projected peak load of 16000 MW
upto 2018-19 and RE power of about
10800 MW (3524 MW existing and
7333 MW addition by 2018-19). The
additional transmission system (if
required) for evacuation of anticipated
RE power more than 10800 MW shall
also be identified, approved and
implemented as per system
requirement matching with the RE
generation.
30
4.2.5 Action Points - Rajasthan Transco
1. The proposed transmission system
upto 2018-19 needs to be implemented
as per schedule for ensuring 24x7
power supply in the State.
2. The funding for implementation of
Intra State transmission system
amounting to Rs. 6848 Crores shall be
timely arranged/tied up wherein 30%
equity support shall be provided by
Govt. of Rajasthan.
3. The funding for implementation of
transmission system for Green Energy
Corridor (Rs 4,682 Crs with 30%
equity support from Govt. of
Rajasthan) shall also be arranged by
Rajasthan Transco wherein 40%
Grant/Aid (Rs. 1874 Crores) has been
proposed to be provided by MoP from
National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF)
and Clean Technology Fund (CTF).
4.2.6 GOI intervention
1. The transmission company of the
State (i.e. RVPN) has developed
transmission system through its own
resources for evacuation of RE
generation by incurring huge
investment. Due to low Capacity
Utilization Factor (CUF) of the order
of (18-22%) of RE generators. the
incidence of transmission charges is
very high on consumers/generators.
Therefore, there is need to provide
support for developing evacuation
system for promoting RE generation.
For implementation of transmission
system for Green Energy Corridor
Projects and to avoid high incidence
of transmission charges in the State,
grant from Govt. of India is required
from National Clean Energy Fund
(NCEF) and Clean Technology Fund
(CTF).
GoR may submit their proposals to
MNRE for funding as per norms of
prevailing schemes.
2. To overcome the operational practical
difficulties in injection of RE power
due to intermittency and variability,
suitable balancing mechanisms are
required to be installed. A Policy in
this regard would be formulated in
consultation with CEA/CERC.
31
5. DISTRIBUTION PLAN
5.1. EXISTING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
At the end of March 2014, the distribution
network of Rajasthan consists of 2,40,203 ckt
km low tension lines, 3,56,641 ckt km 11 kV
lines and 47,293 ckt km 33 kV lines with a
1,63,017 Km network of AB cables.
There are 4585 No of 33 kV substations and
11, 79,684 Nos of 11/0.4 kV distribution
transformers. The total transformer capacity is
20,763 MVA at 33 kV level and 34,937 MVA
at 11 kV level. HT to LT ratio has increased
substantially from 0.92 in FY 05 to 1.68 at the
end of FY 14.
In Rajasthan, at present, there are about 1.14
Crores of electricity consumers including
about 12.0 lacs under agriculture category.
The category wise break up of consumers, per
unit tariff, Billing & collections in the state is
given at Annex-V
All categories of consumers in the state are
given supply without load shedding. After
executing virtual feeder separation in rural
areas in the year 2008, the State has been
supplying 24x7 power to the rural domestic
consumer. For agriculture consumers, the
power supply is being given 6.5 hours in day
block and 7 hours at night block.
However, during the preceding 4-5 years, the
distribution system has suffered due to lack of
maintenance and lack of supervision resulting
into increase in frequent unscheduled
breakdowns and tripping in the system. To
provide quality 24x7 power supply to rural
areas, there is an urgent need to augment/
strengthen the rural 11KV feeders which are
16,397 in numbers as well as to improve the
infrastructure on the 33 KV sub-stations
which are 3991 in number.
5.2. SCHEMES UNDER
IMPLEMENTATION
RAPDRP
Government of India has launched
Restructured-Accelerated Power
Development and Reforms Programme (R-
APDRP) as a central sector scheme to
encourage energy audit and accounting
through IT intervention and to reduce the
AT&C losses upto 15%. The focus of R-
APDRP Scheme is on actual demonstrable
performance by utilities in terms of sustained
AT&C loss reduction. Projects under the
scheme are being taken up in two Parts. Part-
A includes the projects for IT applications for
energy accounting / auditing, GIS, consumer
indexing, SCADA & IT based consumer
service centres etc. and Part-B includes
regular distribution strengthening projects
including separation of agricultural feeders
from domestic and industrial ones and High
Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) etc.
Under Part-A of R-APDRP, 87 projects at an
estimated cost of Rs 315.95 Crores have been
approved for the state of Rajasthan and Rs
130.25 Crores have been disbursed till date.
Part-A SCADA projects for 5 towns for the
states have also been sanctioned at an
estimated cost of Rs 150.90 Crores and Rs
45.28 Crores have been disbursed
Under Part-B of R-APDRP, 81 projects at an
estimated cost of Rs 1540 Crores have been
approved for the State and Rs 548 Crores
have been disbursed and the work would be
completed within next 2 years. For these
works, 50% funding of around Rs. 770 crores
has to be arranged by the State.
32
RGGVY
At present, the un-electrified households are
being electrified under RGGVY scheme of
Govt of India. Under this scheme electricity
connections are being provided for the rural
households in the habitations with population
of more than 100 only. The status of these
plans is as under:
RGGVY 10th
& 11th
Plan:
The scheme was approved at an estimated
cost of Rs. 1331 crores covering electricity
connection to 11.84 lakhs BPL households.
Out of which electricity connection of around
11.69 lakh BPL households has already been
released. The remaining electricity
connections of around 0.15 lakh BPL -
amounting to Rs.19.9 Crores is expected to be
completed by December 2014. The state share
required for meeting this obligation would be
around 2.0 Crores.
RGGVY 12
th Plan: The 12
th plan RGGVY
scheme for providing access to all the
remaining rural households in the habitations
with population more than 100 for the state of
Rajasthan was approved with 28 schemes
covering 27 districts at an estimated cost of
Rs. 1453.19 Crores covering electricity

(b) Providing three phase supply to
villages near to the existing 33/11 kV
substations: To ensure 24 hrs. supply
to the domestic, commercial, Industrial
and other loads (other than Agriculture
loads) in the villages, Discoms have
already laid 3-phase feeder to around
2000 villages of population more than
4000 and 1756 villages have been
identified for laying 3 phase feeder
under feeder improvement programme
situated nearer to the existing 33 kV
Sub-stations. Cost of the above work
has been included in Feeder
Improvement Programme.
(c) Providing three phase supply to big
villages :-
To ensure 24 hours supply to the
domestic, commercial, industrial and
other loads (other than agriculture
loads) in the villages, Discoms have
already laid 3phase feeder to around
2000 villages of population more than
4000. To enhance the benefit of 24 x 7
to more villages, it is proposed as
under :-
i. Separate 3 phase feeder is proposed
to be laid in villages having
population more than 2000. There
are 3338 villages in Rajasthan
having population more than 2000
and less than 4000.
ii. The estimated cost to execute the
above work is Rs.1007 crs.
iii. The works are proposed to be
implemented in phased manner
during F.Y. 2015-16 to 2018-19
(d) Substation Improvement Programme
Activities to improve 3991 numbers 33-KV
Rural substations requiring an investment of
Rs. 400 cr are provided below:-
1. Replacement of 679 non operative
Roster switches on 11KV Feeders.
2. Installation of 10,102 new Roster
switches on 11 KV Feeders.
3. Repair/replacement of non-
operative circuit breakers on 2022
Nos 11KV feeders.
4. Installation of new circuit breakers
on 6843 nos 11 kV feeders.
5. Replacement of non-functional
2986 feeder meters
6. Installation of 4672 new feeder
meters
34
7. Improvement of earthing required
at 1976 nos, 33 kV substations.
Work is expected to be completed by
March 2015. It is proposed to undertake
the above initiatives which are essential
steps for providing reliable, affordable
& quality 24x7 power for all the
consumers
(e) Requirement of additional 33/11 KV
S/S in rural area for 24x7 supply
The 24x7 power supply for all to rural
areas including electrification of un-
electrified households in rural area will
cause additional demand (over and
above the existing/usual) and it is
necessary to create additional 33/11 kV
substation (other than State plan) for
providing reliable power supply
satisfactorily in rural areas.
To achieve the 24x7 supply, it is
therefore proposed to create 2 Nos. 5
MVA 33/11 kV sub-station per year in
each District during next four years i.e.
F.Y. 2015-16 to 2018-19. The estimated
cost of the above will be Rs.444 crores
and the works will be executed in a
phased manner in next four years.
(f) IT enabled services to the towns with
less than 30 thousand population and
in rural areas under RAPDRP- Part-A
Under RAPDRP Part –A, 87 towns of
Rajasthan were covered with population
of more than 30,000 for IT enabled
services. In order to implement
RAPDRP scheme in the entire state
irrespective of the coverage of Sub
Division / Town of more than 30,000
population in RAPDRP, it was
considered that all modules under Part
A of RAPDRP would also be
implemented in the towns of population
of less than 30 thousand and in rural
areas.
As per the sanctioned scheme for 87
towns, State Data Centre is to be
established at Jaipur City and all the
requisite software viz. application
software, Data Base software and the
requisite hardware will be installed
through RAPDRP funding. It is
pertinent to mention that sizing of the
Software and Hardwares were
considered taken into account that the
consumers and sub divisions of entire
state will be served through the state
Data Centre, if the entire scheme is
implemented in entire Rajasthan.
Discoms has to bear only the cost of
field activities like GIS based network
and asset mapping, sub station metering
etc. for the remaining areas which are
not covered under RAPDRP to achieve
the following objectives:
1. IT enablement of entire Discom.
2. Parity in business Process in entire
Discom. Even in some cases only
part of subdivision has been
covered under R-APDRP under
such circumstances it would be
difficult to maintain the parity in
business process within one sub-
division if scheme is not
implemented entirely.
3. Facilitate all the consumers of all
Discom with the benefits of
RAPDRP scheme.
4. Avoid future fragmentation, which
may take place if the scheme is not
implemented in entire Discom.
5. Adoption of common technology
with Integration of entire System.
6. To take the benefit of huge
investment made for Data center.
GoI is requested to provide assistance of Rs.
235 Cr. so that IT enabled services to the
consumers may also be provided to the rural
areas and towns less than 30 thousand
population at par with the RAPDRP towns of
urban areas and to monitor 24x7 supply with
authentic energy audit by utilising the DATA
centre, software & IT applications with other
infrastructure being laid for RAPDRP part-A.
35
State of Rajasthan was the first one to launch
R-APDRP program Part- A, inviting IT
Implementation Agency and ambitiously
covering both R-APDRP towns and non- R-
APDRP towns. However, the Implementation
progress has been very slow and project is yet
to go-live.
Since five years that the IT Implementation
Agencies (ITIA) was selected to build in
critical components of the IT infrastructure
like Customer Relationship Module, Billing
System, Automatic Meter Reading, Web Self
Service, Security, MIS, Centralized Call
Centre, etc. is not being implemented
successfully.
Other critical diagnostic tool such as energy
audit, Inventory management system,
Geographical Information System are yet to
be implemented.
Infact there has not been any process to
capture data changes post Consumer
Indexation that was carried out few years
back and suspect that the data captured might
not be put to use.
For taking benefits of the huge investment
already made under RAPDRP and meeting
the program objective, GoR should focus on
addressing the critical gaps in the existing
system and ensure for an early
implementation for both RAPDRP & NON-
RAPDRP towns else the infrastructure such as
hardware, servers may soon be out of
warranty.
(g) Reduction of AT&C losses for non
RAPDRP towns:
Substantial reduction in AT&C losses has
been achieved after introduction of High
Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) in rural
areas during FY 06 (41.21%) to FY 10
(28.03%) through feeder renovation program
by doing virtual segregation of single phase
load from three phase agricultural load and
putting distribution transformers with
metering equipment nearer to agriculture
consumers installations. AT & C losses
during 2013 -14 were 26.74 %. The details of
energy availability, sales and AT&C Loss
from FY 10 to FY 14 are given at Annexure
VI
The State Govt. has initiated measures for
making 100% metering, billing, and revenue
collection a requisite. Only about 1.42 lakh
agriculture consumers (out of total of 12 lakh
agriculture consumer) are yet to be metered.
State Govt proposes to undertake the
following works for reduction of AT&C
losses -
i. Providing metering equipments
with all 11 KV feeders for reliable
energy audit.
ii. Provide metering equipment for
unmetered flat rate 1.41 lakhs
agriculture connections out of total
of 12 lakhs Ag. Consumers. To
ensure proper & reliable energy
accounting.
iii. Replace 3.43 lac defective
/damaged metering equipment of
Agriculture consumers out of the
total 10.6 lakhs metered
agriculture consumers, under
Feeder Improvement Programme.
iv. Replace all defective meters by
March 15 as identified in feeder
improvement programme. Apart
from one time meter replacement
there should be periodic drive for
testing of meters and the
replacement of defective meter as
per SOP guidelines issued by
RERC.
v. Augment capacity of conductor as
per load requirement
vi. Augment distribution transformers
capacity as per connected load
growth.
vii. Organize intensive vigilance
checking’s to curb the theft of
energy. Government of Rajasthan
can help the Distribution
Companies by setting up Special
Police Station, Special court for
36
speedy resolution of the Electricity
cases.
viii. Maximize the collection payment
avenues thereby maintaining more
than 99.5% collection efficiency
ix. Install prepaid meters to the
Government connections
x. Use IT enabling tools to identify
the high loss areas to take
measures for loss reduction.
xi. Capturing of actual energy
consumption by utilizing IT
interface.
xii. Most state DISCOM’s Grids are
manned on 24x7 basis and duty
registers/log sheets are maintained
in the grid for recording the
voltage, current and other data
with respect to all the feeders. The
data are recorded in register by the
shift people by manually reading
the data from the meters. However,
with R-APDRP roll-out both in R-
APDRP and non-APDRP towns, ,
it is expected that the electronic
meters with downloading facilities
are been installed and hence
DISCOM may enforce the practice
of data downloading through
CMRI for feeder meter data and
carry out data analysis/ energy
audit on such data
(h) Improving Consumer Convenience:
Improving consumer convenience should be
the focus of any distribution utility. For
improving consumer convenience in
Rajasthan Standard of Performance
guidelines has been recently issued by the
Regulator.
DISCOM should submit the compliance on
SOP in the time period as prescribed by the
regulator. For improving further and make the
process more transparent state regulator can
undertake Customer Satisfaction Survey
through some independent agency.
Customer segmentation in terms of
differentiated service delivery can also be
prescribed by state regulator in the next
phase.
(i) Revamping Maintenance Philosophy:
Presently DISCOMS are only engaged in
Break Down repair work of the various
equipments. In order to increase reliability of
the system DISCOM should look for
implementing system driven preventive
maintenance system. Power Transformers,
Distribution Transformers, Circuit Breakers
can be checked periodically for identification
of any faults and correction thereof. Further,
Discom should have defined roadmap to
adapt Predictive Maintenance as well.
(j) Performance Monitoring Mechanism: In order to implement appropriate reform
measures and meet the objective, baseline
parameters needs to be verified and
established, and hence it is proposed that a
Third Party Audit should be carried out for
establishing the baseline parameters for the
KPI indicated below and thereafter following
performance parameters needs to be
monitored at the DISCOM Corporate level

5.4. CONNECTING THE
UNCONNECTED
As per GoR, there are about 36.75 lakhs un-
electrified households in the state including
34.85 lakhs in the rural areas and 1.9 lakhs in
urban areas.
5.4.1 Urban Area
As per GoR, in urban areas, at present only 15
thousand applications are pending for
connections and it is expected that remaining
urban households are using electricity on
sharing basis as a united family. Keeping in
view of the fast growth of households in the
urban areas due to migration from rural to
urban, target of release of connection of 1
lakh per year has been estimated as per trend
of last five years.
5.4.2 Rural Area
Out of 34.85 lakhs un-electrified rural
households in the state, only about 25 lakhs
households may be considered as un-
electrified which would be provided
electricity through grid and balance
households may be located in remote places
or using the electricity on shared basis as a
united family. Out of the balance 9.85 Lakhs
un electrified rural households, about 1.5 lakh
household have already been provided solar
domestic lighting system and 1.1 lakh
households will be provided Solar Domestic
Lighting System (SDLS) in next five years.
Balance 7.25 lakh households are located in
agriculture fields or using electricity on
sharing basis as united families, living in
carvan, forest areas, remote far flung areas
etc. The details of the above are as under-

electrified under the already approved 10th
& 11th
Plan RGGVY
• 13.36 lakhs households have already been
sanctioned under 12th
plan RGGVY.
• 6 more schemes at an estimated cost of
Rs. 813 Crores covering 5.44 lakhs
households in six districts have been
submitted to REC for sanction under 12th
plan RGGVY.
5.4.2.2 Electrification of 2.12 lakhs
Households located in Dhanies with population less than 100:
Around 2.12 lakhs households are estimated
to be located in about 30 thousand un-
electrified /partially electrified Dhanis
households in the state which are not eligible
to be covered under RGGVY. As per GoR,
majority of the households located in these
Dhanis may be electrified by extending
supply from the grid at an estimated cost of
Rs. 1839 Crores.
5.4.2.3 Out of the remaining 13.25 Lakh un-
electrified households in the state, Govt of
Rajasthan may identify such households
which can not be electrified by extending
supply from the existing grid in next 3
months. A detailed plan will thereafter be
formulated in next 3 months to see which
households are economically feasible to be
connected with the grid and which would
need off grid solutions. The plan would be
implemented in the time frame indicated
earlier. The details of various off grid
solutions of MNRE are at Annexure –VII.

5.4. RENEWABLE ENERGY
INITIATIVES OF GOVT OF
RAJASTHAN AT CONSUMER
LEVEL
• Grid connected Roof Top Scheme
During the year 2013-14, an approval of 5
MW capacity for grid connected roof top
system had been received from MNRE to
RRECL which is state nodal agency for
the promotion & development of
renewable energy in the state. This
scheme is having a provision of 30%
subsidy from MNRE and 70% has to be
borne by the beneficiary. The scheme is
proposed to be taken during 2014-15
subject to finalisation of Net Metering
Regulations by Regulatory Commission.
The petition is pending in this regard with
SERC.
• Solar water Pumping Scheme
This is a scheme by MNRE. Presently the
scheme is being implemented by state
Horticulture Deptt. Since 2010-11. Total
subsidy provided is 86 %( 30% from
MNRE & 56% from Rastriya Krishi
Vikas Yojana) of the bench mark cost of
the pump Balance 14% is to be borne by
the beneficiary. The details of the pumps
installed during last 4 years is as follows-
Year No of Pumps
2010-11 34
2011-12 1675
2012-13 4280
2013-14 6900
It is proposed that around 5,000 pumps/
year would be installed in the state if the
above subsidy pattern is continued.
• Solar Off-Grid Systems
It is an ongoing scheme of MNRE in
which domestic lighting system (DLS) /
home lighting system (HLS) are being
provided to the beneficiaries in rural and
urban areas having one solar module of 37
W, 2 CFLs each of 9 W and one battery of
40 Ah capacity. This scheme is having a
provision of 30% subsidy from MNRE
and 70% has to be borne by the

B. INTERVENTIONS
The agricultural sector accounted for about
41% of the state’s energy consumption i.e.
17.8 BU during 2013-14 and the subsidy
burden of the State for the year 2014-15 is
estimated at Rs. 6000 crores for about 1.2
million pump sets.
Two successful pilots in Agricultural Demand
Side Management have proved that
investment in agricultural pump sets
efficiency can payback in a short time, refer
Table 6.2 below:

5. Annual Reduction of

1.2 1.01
There are about 12 lakhs agricultural pump
sets which are eligible to receive subsidy from
the state government. The State Govt. is
providing subsidy of Rs 3.03 per unit of
energy consumption in Agriculture sector. As
per the DRP prepared by BEE in JVVNL for
1800 pump sets, the energy saving potential is
around 45%. Taking the average energy
savings outcome of the two pilots, a 30%
reduction in energy consumption and subsidy
is possible by replacing all existing pumps
with star rated energy efficient pump sets.
The average pump sizes in JVVNL &
AVVNL are 6.5 KW, while in JDVVNL it is
16 KW. The estimated investment in
replacement of 12 lakhs pump sets, taking an
average cost of efficient pump sets to Rs.
60,000 will be of Rs. 7200 crores with an
estimated savings of around 4.77 BU per
annum. Apart from the
energy savings, this would result in annual
subsidy savings of Rs. 1200 crores to the state
Based on the estimated subsidy reduction, the
simple payback on investment is around 6
years. Farmers have little financial obligation
to pay electricity bills, therefore apart from
monetary savings on account of electricity
bills, the reduced maintenance cost of farmers
is the biggest incentive in such interventions.
Doemstic sector accounted for an energy
consumption of 9.1 BU which is nearly 21%
of the total consumption in 2013-14. In order
to stimulate investments in energy efficient
lighting projects, high quality LED lamps are
proposed to be given to households at the cost
of incandescent lamps (ICLs) to encourage
them to invest in energy efficiency under the
DSM based Efficient Lighting Program
(DELP).
The main features of DELP includes
replacement of 60 W ICL with 8 W LED with
5-6 years free replacement warrantee on
lamps against technical defects, distribution of
3 LEDs to each household on getting back the
working ICLs and monitoring of projects as
per international standard methodology
approved by CDM Executive Board for BLY.
There are an estimated 12.6 million
households in the state as per 2011 Census
data. Thus, the total energy savings from
replacement of ICLs to DISCOMs will be
2100 MU annually at an investment of Rs.
1604 crores. Puducherry has become the first
state to undertake implementation of DELP
on a large scale.
44
In 2013-14, the commercial sector in the state
of Rajasthan accounted for nearly 7% of the
total energy consumption, i.e., 3226 MU of
which the targeted baseline for energy
conservation is around 50% (i.e. 1613 MU) in
the organized sector in buildings having
connected load greater than 100 kW or with
contract demand of 120 kVA or more.
Techno-commercial analysis for energy
efficiency project implementation at Vidyut
Bhawan and Rajasthan Secretariat in Jaipur
shows energy savings of 0.13 MU and 0.85
MU per annum with estimated investments of
Rs. 0.42 crores and Rs. 2.4 crores
respectively. As per details available, energy
savings to the tune of 30% are achievable in
the end use functional areas of lighting,
cooling & ventilation, refrigeration, etc.,
which can help the state alleviate 480 MU,
with an estimated investment requirement of
Rs. 720 Crores. In addition to these, Rajasthan
Government has already adopted Energy
Conservation Building Code (ECBC) for new
commercial buildings, the effective
implementation of which will also result is
significant energy savings.
The municipal sector accounted for 5% of the
energy consumption, with public water works
comprising 4% (1540 MU) and street lighting
constituting of around 1% (389 MU). Various
energy audit studies have revealed a savings
potential of 25% - 30% through replacement
of inefficient drinking and sewage water
pumping systems with energy efficient ones.
Thus, it can be estimated with an investment
of around Rs. 250 crores all the drinking and
sewage water pumping systems can be made
energy efficient and savings of around 400
MU annually can be achieved.
In Rajasthan, almost the entire public lighting
is based on conventional lights and it has been
demonstrated that replacement of these
existing lights with LEDs can lead to an
energy savings between 55-60%. In addition
to energy savings, LED street lights also
reduce maintenance costs as they come with
5-7 years free replacement warranties enhance
the light output and meet national lighting
standards, allow automatic controls to
enhance savings by remote switching,
daylight savings and dimming. In addition,
LED lamps improve the power factor of the
system and enhance the savings to DISCOMs.
Replacement of all street lights with LEDs in
Rajasthan with an investment of around Rs.
400 crores can lead to energy savings of 200
million units annually.
C. APPROACH / STRATEGY
All the above interventions involve
replacement of inefficient equipment /
appliances with energy efficient ones for the
agriculture, domestic, commercial buildings
and municipalities. These can be undertaken
by the State Govt. at no upfront cost by
using the Energy Service Company (ESCO) model. The model is based on the
concept of promoting Performance Contract
mode where the company invests in any
project by entering into a contract agreement
with the facility owner which is recovered
through the savings accrued due to reduced
electricity bills.
D. TIMELINES
Agriculture Sector:
Under AgDSM, a plan to cover the entire 12
lakh pump sets is indicated below in Table 6.
3. The year wise investment required, savings
to be achieved and reduction of subsidy
burden is also indicated. The project will also
evolve standard operating processes as well as
robust payment security mechanisms so as to
replicate the same in an accelerated manner.
Assuming the state government is paying
subsidy of Rs 2.50/ per unit of energy
consumption in agriculture sector. The
estimated simple payback period is around 6
years.

E. ACTIONS POINTS
The sector-wise Central Government and
State Government actions envisaged to
facilitate implementation of energy efficiency
measures as mentioned above are detailed
below:
Agriculture Sector
• Funds Required: Rs. 7200 crores
• Savings: 4770 MU
Central Government:
• M/o Agriculture may amend the
guidelines of various schemes like
Rashtriya Kisan Vikas Yojana (RKVY) to
promote use of star rated energy efficient
pump sets (EEPS) under these schemes
• BEE may expand its star labelling
programs to cover higher size pump sets.
• Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL) to take up project design and
project development.
State Government:
• Distribution Companies / Utilities may
file DSM petition with Rajasthan
Electricity Regulatory Commission for
getting sanction of the proposed DSM
plan.
• Rationalization of agricultural tariff so
that benefit of energy efficiency is
distributed to utility and consumer
optimally.
• State may issue mandatory notification for
use of energy efficient pump set for new
agriculture connections. Also encourage
and continue the schemes for promoting
EEPS like the present scheme of
providing financial assistance of Rs. 500/-
per HP for up gradation of existing pump
sets or procurement of new EEPS.
• Ensure formulation of a detailed time line
in consultation with concerned
departments like Distribution Companies
for implementation of energy efficiency
measures in agriculture.
• Ensure establishment of a payment
security mechanism so that the company
making investments under the ESCO
mode recovers the same through the
savings accrued due to reduced electricity
bills.
Domestic Sector
• Funds Required: Rs. 1600 crores
• Savings: 2028 MU
Central Government:
• BEE may consider formulation of
specification for LED bulbs and
introducing star label scheme for LED
bulbs.
48
• Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL) to take up project design and
project development.
State Government:
• Distribution Companies / Utilities may
file DSM petition with Rajasthan
Electricity Regulatory Commission for
getting sanction of the proposed DSM
plan.
• Ensure formulation of a detailed time line
in consultation with concerned
departments like Distribution Companies
for implementation of energy efficiency
measures in municipalities.
• Ensure establishment of a payment
security mechanism so that the company
making investments under the ESCO
mode recovers the same through the
savings accrued due to reduced electricity
bills.
Commercial buildings
• Funds Required: Rs. 720 crores
• Savings: 480 MU
Central Government:
• BEE may provide technical support for
effective enforcement of ECBC and
promotion of ESCO based retrofitting
works in Government buildings. BEE can
provide support for capacity building of
state department through establishment of
ECBC cells for compliance of ECBC and
retrofitting in Government buildings.
• Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL) to take up project design and
project development for retrofitting in
commercial buildings.
State Government:
• Government of Rajasthan has adopted
ECBC Directives for new commercial
building design and mandated energy
audit of existing commercial building
once in a three-year period. Effective
enforcement of ECBC compliance and
mandating retrofitting in energy-audited
buildings may result in reduction of
electrical consumption from commercial
sector. Government of Rajasthan may
consider mandatory retrofitting in
Government buildings with an objective
of reduction of electricity bills, which
state government is paying against
electricity bill of these buildings. This
would also demonstrate impact of ESCO
based retrofitting projects to private
building owners to adopt the same.
• As per the Planning Commission’s
projection; residential building are
becoming one of the larger consumers of
electricity in the county by 2030. BEE is
introducing design guidelines for energy
efficient multi storey residential
apartments including in the composite and
hot & dry climatic zone. State
Government may mandate compliance of
these guidelines through institutional
framework in the state.
• Ensure formulation of a detailed time line
in consultation with concerned
departments like Public Works
Department, for implementation of energy
efficiency measures in municipalities.
• Ensure establishment of a payment
security mechanism so that the company
making investments under the ESCO
mode recovers the same through the
savings accrued due to reduced electricity
bills.
• For residential buildings, the state could
adopt the star labelling scheme for multi-
storey residential apartment buildings,
being prepared by BEE.
Municipal Sector (Public Water Works &
Street Lights)
(i) Public Water Works
Funds Required: Rs. 250 crores
Savings: 400 MU
49
(ii) Street Lights
Funds Required: Rs. 400 crore
Savings: 200 MU
Central Government:
• BEE may consider formulation of
specification for LED street lights and
provide some financial assistance for one
pilot project under MuDSM program.
• Energy Efficiency Services Limited
(EESL) to take up project design and
project development.
State Government:
• Ensure formulation of a detailed time line
in consultation with concerned
departments like Public Health &
Engineering Department and Urban
Development Department for
implementation of energy efficiency
measures in municipalities.
• Ensure establishment of a payment
security mechanism so that the company
making investments under the ESCO
mode recovers the same through the
savings accrued due to reduced electricity
bills
In addition to the above, Rajasthan Electricity
Regulatory Commission (RERC) may be
requested to issue directives for creation of
DSM funds by DISCOMs / Utilities of the
State so that DSM activities can get extra
emphasis. Such funds can be utilized for
meeting incremental cost of efficiency
improvement.

7. FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES
7.1. FINANCIAL POSITION OF
DISTRIBUTION UTILITIES
After unbundling of the erstwhile Rajasthan
State Electricity Board (RSEB) in July 2000,
Rajasthan Discoms commenced their
operations with a loss of Rs. 680.00 cr. in FY
2001, which increased to Rs. 3908 cr. in FY
2003-04 and thereafter touched to Rs. 15,643
cr. in FY 2008-09. The primary reasons for
increasing the loss level from FY 2003-04 to
FY 2008-09 were one tariff hike only during
the period in Jan. 2005 that too 10.15% and
higher quantum of power purchase at
comparatively higher cost due to state
generation projects lagging behind their
schedules.
During this period Feeder Renovation
Programme was aggressively implemented
which resulted in drastic reduction in
distribution loss level from 42.62% in FY
2003-04 to 26.59 % in FY 2008-09. Had this
ambitious programme not been there, the
above accumulated financial loss level would
have been phenomenally on much higher side.
The accumulated financial loss further
ballooned to Rs. 74,280 cr. (Prov.) in FY
2013-14 despite three consecutive tariff hikes
after 2008-09. Moreover, the distribution loss
also stood at 24.38 % (AT&C losses 26.74%)
in FY 2013-14.
The recovery of total cost of power supply
from revenue stood at 85 % during FY 2003-
04, which remained 60% in FY 2008-09 and
62% in FY 2013-14 (Prov.). Despite three
tariff hikes in a row during the period, there
was only a marginal improvement in recovery
of cost in FY 2013-14. This also indicates that
the expenditure during the period also
increased commensurately with the
incremental revenue, chiefly on account of
ever rising interest and finance charges,
increasing trend in power purchase cost and
almost static distribution loss levels amongst
others. The interest and finance charges are
disturbing the cost economics of Discoms so
adversely that in case the interest and finance
charges are excluded from the total cost, then
the above stated cost recovery would stand as
82% in FY 2013-14, leaving a gap of 18%
only which can be addressed by suitable tariff
hikes and internal operational efficiencies. In
case the liability of the short term outstanding
loans is fully taken out from the Discoms’
books, the Discoms shall not only manage
their cost of power supply but also will not
require working capital support on one hand
and on the other they would also not be in
need of steep tariff hikes again and again .
In the beginning of FY 2011-12, the banks had
stopped funding to the Discoms, resulting in
over delay in various payment obligations to
power generators/ suppliers and others,
leading to likely disruption of power supply as
the various power generators/suppliers started
cautioning to stop the power supply including
serving of regulation notices, invocation of
Letter of Credits (LCs) established in their
favor. Repayments along with interest
servicing to banks/FIs had to be stopped
resulting in accruing of penal interest as well
as turning of various loan accounts on the
verge of Non-Performing Assets (NPA).
Likewise, over delayed payment to various
power generators attracted late payment
surcharge which in turn further deteriorated
liquidity crisis already looming over.
Moreover, other suppliers/contractors denied
to further supply and execute the contracts
resulting in various capital projects and
maintenance works held up.
7.2. FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING
SCHEME OF GOI (OCTOBER
2012)
Taking a serious view over the ever
deteriorating financial condition of the state
owned Discoms across the country, the
51
Planning Commission set-up a Committee
headed by Sh. B.K. Chaturvedi, Member,
Planning Commission to come out with a
sustainable and viable scheme for long term
viability of the distribution utilities
particularly in the most critical States, referred
as the focused states including Tamil Nadu,
UP, Haryana and Rajasthan. Based on the
recommendations of the said Committee, the
Ministry of Power, Govt. of India notified a
Scheme on 5.10.2012 for long term
sustainability of the Discoms in the country.
Rajasthan was one of the early movers for
providing consent to participate in the above
Scheme.
• On the cut- off date 31st March 2012 the
accumulated losses of the Discoms were to
the tune of Rs.40, 942 cr. against which
the outstanding short term loans were
Rs.31, 906 cr. and power purchase
payables outstanding for more than 60
days Rs. 4132 cr making a total of Rs.
36,038 cr.
• As such Discoms were eligible for full
outstanding liabilities as on 31st March
2012 of Rs. 36038 cr. Out of this, bonds
worth Rs. 18019 cr were to be issued by
the Discoms and to be taken over by the
State Govt. over a period of time in a
phased manner. The remaining short term
loans were to be restructured by banks.
Some of the key commitments on the part of various stakeholders as envisaged in the Scheme vies-
a-vies their compliances as of now are given as under:-
Sr. No. Commitments Compliances
1. Financial Restructuring Plan (FRP) is to be
chalked out by the Discoms and to be
approved by the state govt. state regulatory
commission and by the banks/FIs.
Has been prepared and finalized after approval
of all the required stakeholders.
2. Bonds against 50 % short term liabilities
(including power purchase payables )
outstanding as on 31st March 2012 are to
be initially issued by Discoms;
Bonds amounting to Rs. 17961 Cr. have been
issued to the various banks at a coupon rate of
9.95% p.a. on 18th
October 2013;
3. Remaining 50% short term loans
outstanding as on 31st March 2012 are to
be restructured for a period of 10 years
with a moratorium on principal of 3
years;
Outstanding short term loans amounting to Rs.
15,928 Cr. have been restructured by the
banks.
4. The bonds issued by the Discoms are to
be taken over by GoR through special
Govt. securities in a phased manner
within next 2 to 5 years
GoR has committed to take over the bonds
worth Rs. 3,000 Cr. in FY 2013-14, Rs. 4,500
Cr. in FY 2014-15 Rs. 5700 Cr. in FY 2015-16
and the balance Rs. 4,761 cr. in 2016-17;
During previous FY 2013-14 bonds amounting
to Rs. 3,340 cr. instead of committed Rs. 3000
cr. have already been taken over by GoR.
5.. Banks/FIs to provide loan against
operational funding during next three
years starting from FY 2013 on a
diminishing scale;
Banks have provided fresh working capital
loans amounting to Rs. 10,952 Cr. in FY
2012-13, Rs. 9016 Cr. in FY 2013-14, and
have sanctioned Rs. 1101.01 cr. (up to July
14) against the committed of Rs. 2878 cr. for
current FY 2014-15 and the remaining is in
process of sanctioning at the end of the banks.
52
6. Filing of tariff petitions regularly. Being done regularly.
7. Pass through of adjustment of fuel cost to
offset power purchase cost.
Being done regularly.
8. Constitution of monitoring committees State Level Monitoring Committee (SLMC)
constituted by the GoR vide order dated
11.12.2012, three meetings already held, last
one held on 4th June 2014.
9. Conversion into equity/ deferment of
repayment of outstanding state govt. loans.
Following the condition of the Scheme, GoR
is not insisting the repayment of interest free
loans provided to Discoms.
10. Central Govt. would provide incentive by
way of grant
(i) equal to the value of the additional
energy saved by way of accelerated AT&C
loss reduction i.e. reduction beyond 1.5%
annually; and
(ii) 25% of reimbursement to the state
Govt. of bonds taken over by the latter.
To be complied with in due course.
11. 100% consumer metering. Consumer metering is complete. There are
only 1.41 lacs flat rate agriculture consumers
being not billed on metered energy basis.
However, meters have also been installed to
these consumers to ensure recording of actual
consumption.
12. Outstanding dues of State Govt.
departments to be paid off till 30th Nov.
2012.
Done.
Besides the above, the other conditions
relating to installation of prepaid meters and
involvement of private participation etc. are in
process of implementation.
The implementation of the above mandatory
conditions has cushioned the distribution
companies to partially mitigate the issues
being faced to the extent as briefed below:
1. Filing of tariff petitions annually from
FY 2011-12 and onwards and roll over
of tariff orders and pass through of fuel
cost adjustment have improved the
revenue streams;
2. Repayment and interest servicing on
50% outstanding short term liabilities as
on 31st March 2012 have been taken
over by the State Government w.e.f.
18.10.2013(date of issue of bonds)
resulting in a relief of around 810 cr.
during FY 2013-14;
3. Moratorium on repayment of remaining
50% short term loans outstanding as on
31st March 2012 stands extended till 31
st
March 2015 to tide over the prevailing
liquidity crisis to this extent.
4. Annual accounts of the companies are
being audited and finalized in time.
Though the Discoms have partially been
eased out on account of the
implementation of the Scheme, yet the
following compelling factors have
53
necessitated updating of the existing FRP
so as to effectively garner the envisaged
benefits of the GoI Scheme.
• Bonds were to be issued effective from
1.4.2012 but delay in notifying the
guidelines on issuance of bonds and
subsequent frequent discussions with
Banks to evolve a consensus on
coupon rate and cut-off date, the
bonds could be issued only on 18th
Oct. 2013. This has resulted in burden
of interest liability on the bonds
portion shouldered by Discoms from
1st April 2012 to 17
th Oct 2013;
• The benefit of tariff hike during FY
2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 could
not be available for the full year as the
tariff orders were made effective from
the date mentioned against each as
under:
Financial Year Effective month
2011-12 September 2011
2012-13 August 2012
2013-14 June 2013
For current Financial Year 2014-15
tariff petitions could be filed only on
6th
June 2014 as the finalization of the
MYT regulations by the regulator was
done only in the first quarter of the
current Financial Year. The tariff order
for the FY 2014-15 is expected soon
but the benefit may not be available
for more than six months.
• The regulatory assets during the last
four years have been building up
substantially for two reasons. One, the
regulator did not allow the proposed
ARR in the tariff petitions to avoid
tariff shocks. The other, benefit of
tariff order was not available for full
financial year.
• Independent energy audit by a central
agency in respect of the distribution
losses in the financial year 2013-14
was got conducted. As per findings of
the energy audit agency, the
distribution losses are at the level of
24.38 % in the FY 2013-14, much
much higher than the loss level of 16.3
% projected in the FRP. This factor
alone has made the present FRP
document unworkable.
• Due to increase in cost of coal and
freight etc., the average power
purchase cost of Rs. 3.79 per unit as
envisaged in FRP has actually stood as
Rs. 4.10 per unit (Prov.) in FY 2013-
14.
In view of above mentioned significant
deviations in the key parameters of the
present FRP document, the State Level
Monitoring Committee (SLMC) has directed
to update the FRP, subject to acceptance by
all concerned with consequential amendments
in obligations. Accordingly the updating work
is already in process in consultation with M/s
PWC, the Discoms’ consultant. This work is
likely to be completed within next 3-4 weeks.
The revision/updation of the existing FRP is
being carried out in anticipation of
consideration by GoI of the following
requests made by the Discoms:
• The cut-off date of the Scheme be
considered as 1.04.2014 in place of
01.04.2012.
• Moratorium on repayment of loans to
Banks/FIs outstanding as on 31st
March 2014 be kept upto March 2018
in place of March 2015;
• Full Operational Funding Requirement
to be provided by the Banks/FIs for
FY 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18
also.
After the above revision/updation of the
existing FRP, Discoms expect their
turnaround in FY 2017-18 mainly due to
gradual reduction in AT&C losses from the
54
level of 26.78% in FY 2013-14 to 15% in FY
2019-20. Such reduction in AT&C loss level
is expected to yield a saving of approximately
10,000 cr. during the above period, giving
much needed reprieve to the Discoms’
financials. Gradual tariff hike till the full
recovery of total cost of power supply from
revenue will augment the revenue stream of
the Discoms ultimately paving the way for
their scheduled turnaround. Operational
efficiency is also expected to take place up to
the expected levels.
7.1. LOSS REDUCTION, ENERGY
MANAGEMENT &, ENERGY
ACCOUNTING
The high AT&C loss levels in the Discoms
remains a concern and all efforts shall be
made to reduce the distribution losses to
improve the financial health of the Discoms.
To manage this effectively a concrete plan for
energy management, energy accounting and
loss reduction shall be put in place.
Energy accounting and energy management
have proved to be the biggest challenges in
most Indian states. Till date there is no
credible mechanism for identifying the true
levels of distribution losses in the states. The
available data has mostly lacked in credibility
and have been often restated to the extent that
it changes the loss picture completely. This is
true in Rajasthan as well where the
distribution losses have climbed up from less
than 20% in 2011-12 and 2012-13 to about
25% in 2013-14.
The Targets for Distribution losses for FY 15
onwards is given in table titled “DISCOM-
WISE DISTRIBUTION LOSS TRAJECTORY”.
The Targets for FY 15 & FY 16 are
aggressive and since only few months are left
in FY 15, it will require extraordinary efforts.
Efforts will be made to make up for any short
fall in a year in subsequent years.

Proposed Improvement trajectory (including Loss Reduction, Billing & Collection efficiencies)
subjected to adjustments in baseline data
55
56
Before embarking on the journey of loss
reduction, baseline AT&C losses should be
re-established for the each of the DISCOMs.
This will help in removing the ambiguity in
terms of loss level. Baseline AT&C losses can
be fixed by following the method as
prescribed for TPIA by PFC. Baseline AT&C
losses will also help in resolving other
important matter such as level of subsidy
requirement, category wise billing details etc.
The R-APDRP has already initiated a number
of measures in this regard including energy
audit and accounting with IT intervention.
These initiatives now need to be strengthened
and expanded in other areas. To meet this
objective, the backbone infrastructure for
improving measurement and visualization will
be created across the state and would include:
1. Implementation of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) to map the
network assets and consumers
comprehensively and always updated
for operational purposes. Activities
that would be supported by the GIS
capabilities would include fault
detection and restoration, new service
connection issuance, connection –
disconnection, network expansion, etc.
To achieve its real potential accuracy
and regular updations of asset &
consumer mapping needs to be carried
out both for the existing and new set
of asset and consumer. It is also
important for the utility to identify and
regularly update the incremental
changes that is happening in the
network. Currently, in Rajasthan
DISCOM, GIS has not been
implemented successfully due to
various reasons.
2. As per RAPDRP plan, Government
has thought of installation of meter for
in all the distribution transformer &
feeder in the urban areas in the state.
As the scheme has not progressed
successfully, a comprehensive feeder
and distribution transformer metering
programme needs to be rolled out that
would cover all feeders and
transformers in the State. Measures in
this regard have been continuing in the
state over the past several years. This
will be made more comprehensive,
and will be backed by an expeditious
57
restoration plan in case the meters turn
defective or damaged;
3. Metering standards and standard
installation guidelines needs to be
formulated before procurement &
installation of meter.
4. Consumer metering would be put in
place to ensure 100% metering of all
supplies including agriculture in the
next 3 years. This will be implemented
by the support of the State
Government and Government of India.
5. A properly devised pricing policy can
create incentives for the consumers to
shift load from peak hours to off peak
hours. Time of use (TOU) Time of
day(TOD) pricing is one of the options
of Demand Side Management in
which the consumer pays more for
energy used during peak hours and
less during off-peak hours. This
encourages consumers to shift load
during cheaper time periods of the day
which helps in reducing the peak
demand thereby flattening out the load
curve. Rajasthan Discoms may
approach Rajasthan Electricity
Regulatory Commission for
introduction of TOD pricing in their
next tariff notification.
6. Advanced Metering Infrastructure
(AMI) is a system which allows the
utilities to remotely measure, collect,
and analyze the consumption data. The
foundation blocks of AMI includes
smart meters, associated hardware,
software, data management,
programming and communications
devices that collect time-differentiated
energy usage from smart meters.
Smart Meters which constitute one of
the vital components of AMI are new
generation of meters which are
capable to simultaneously perform
basic functionality of core metering
and advance functionalities like
sending meter data via Head End
System (HES) using two-way remote
communication network, giving access
to utility to execute remote commands
like load connect/ disconnect, ability
to inform consumer about real time
pricing/ time of usage and performing
periodic meter maintenance via over
the air firmware upgrades. Data
collected from meters are processed
for various applications like billing,
consumption analysis, outage
management, address customer
grievances etc.Govt. of Rajasthan may
draw a roadmap for implementation of
AMI in a phased manner starting with
big cities and towns in the State.
7. Network analysis of the system to base
on power flows and network status to
ensure that the losses and line outages
can be predicted or identified in a
timely manner; As per RAPDRP
program Network analysis application
would have been supplied to
DISCOM. However one can assume
that without a credible GIS database
the same has not been utilized fully in
the DISCOM. Through change in
process management, DISCOMS have
to ensure that the entire new capital
investment program are routed
through network analysis module
rather than existing stopgap approach.
8. Loss measurement and verification
methodology implemented through
external agencies to be implemented
58
9. To carry out independent feeder-wise
energy audits that would be carried out
by the independent energy audit
agency at the corporate office and
reporting directly to the management.
10. To arrest the high AT&C losses,
involvement of private participation
by way of PPP/franchising will be
promoted. Towns with loss levels of
more than 20% shall be identified for
PPP/ distribution franchisee, Urban
areas needing high reliability should
be an ideal choice for PPP model.
Rajasthan has already moved forward
in identifying Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur
& Bikaner as target areas for PPP
model and should be then extended to
other urban towns like Ajmer, Kota,
Chittorgarh, Bhilwara, etc. Also, a
provision would be useful to be build
up in the RFP to include concentric
areas of the towns selected over period
of time. For their other areas different
models such as Input based urban
franchise / Collection based / rural
franchise with Self Help Group
(SHG), can be thought of
11. Aggressive vigilance checking shall be
intensified.
12. Incentive scheme would be introduced
for each circle, which is at all district
headquarters and headed by a
Superintending Engineer. Such
incentives could be distributed
amongst concerning Discoms officials,
police personnel, district officials etc.
For this purpose, external verification
through competent accredited certification
agencies shall be taken up. Such agencies
shall carry out an annual verification of the
energy accounting and audit facilities, the
energy measurements of the utilities and rate
them on various parameters to ensure that the
loss measurements and supply parameters for
the 24X7 supply are transparent and credible.
7.2. GOI INTERVENTION
GoI is being requested to approve the recast
FRP covering the following basic features
therein at the earliest to ensure the projected
turnaround in FY 2017-18:
a. The cut-off date as stipulated in Scheme
be extended from 1.4.2012 to 1.4.2014;
b. The moratorium period be extended by
Banks/FIs by 3 years- accordingly the
repayments would commence from April
2018 in place of April 2015;
C. Full Operational Funding Requirement be
provided by the Banks/FIs for further 3
years also i.e. in FY 2015-16, 2016-17 and
2017-18.
d. To provide capital reimbursement support
upfront against the TFM to ease out the
State Government financials due to
accepting the Scheme.
e. Banks/FIs be persuaded to reduce their
prevailing rate of interest on working
capital loans at least by 5 per cent,
facilitating the Discoms to use the savings
accrued on account of this less outgo of
interest to honour the scheduled
repayments.
The above request of Govt of Rajasthan
would be considered by Govt of India as per
its policies or otherwise Govt of Rajasthan
would make arrangements for funding from
other sources.
7.3. ACTION POINTS ( DISCOMS /
STATE GOVT)
Discoms
59
i. Implementation of FRP including
compliances of the mandatory
conditions;
ii. Regular tariff filing and rolling over of
tariff orders ;
iii. Regular pass through of fuel cost
adjustment;
iv. Reduction in AT&C losses as per
projections
v. Timely preparation and finalization of
annual accounts
GoR
i. Timely release of subsidy to the
Discoms
ii. Timely adherence to FRP
implementation liabilities
7.4. MANAGING THE RISKS
Time-bound and successful implementation of
the 24X7 Power Supply Scheme is dependent
on the some key parameters that are critical to
the financial health of the distribution
segment. For providing 24x7 power supply to
all households in the state, financial
implications on utilities for procuring
additional energy and per unit implication on
tariff for additional energy has also been
carried out and the details are at Annex- X.
Based on the exercise, a sensitivity analysis
has been performed to understand the impact
of various factors on the financial health of the
utilities. The sensitivity of various factors is
shown as under:
Sensitivity Analysis
Sl. No. Measure Degree of Sensitivity
1 T&D Loss Reduction Trajectory Highly sensitive
2 Tariff changes Highly sensitive
(especially to initial years)
3 Power procurement optimization Highly sensitive
4 Extension of Interest Moratorium by
2 years
Low sensitivity
5 Reduction of interest rates Highly sensitive
6 Higher feeder improvement investments Low sensitivity
7 More energy efficient consumption Low sensitivity*
8 Lower Agriculture Consumption Highly sensitive
*This is because of lack of differentiation in AT&C loss and ABR in the domestic category. If these are
considered, then sensitivity would be significant and in reverse direction. The details of sensitivity analysis
are at Annex-XI
60
The performance of the utilities is sensitive to
the risks, which must be handled consciously
and mitigated accordingly.
1. The burden of short term liabilities needs
to be addressed for the sector to turn
around for providing reliable 24X7 supply;
2. Investments needs to be efficiently and
rigorously planned and adequately
financed through cost efficient means.
Wherever possible, private financing
should be promoted.
3. Energy accounts and AT&C losses needs
to be monitored through a comprehensive
program;
4. Energy efficiency will be promoted at the
end use consumption levels
5. Power procurement and associated risks
(including fuel risks) needs to be managed
efficiently
6. Release of timely subsidy by the State
Government to the Discoms
7. Timely filing of tariff petitions by state
utilities to rationalize the tariff so as to
reduce the gap between ACS & ARR
The above measurers would require strong
implementation planning, project monitoring
and Information Technology (IT) backbone.
The progress against the FRP and the
measures taken to manage the risks of
repeated slippage against the FRP objectives
shall be monitored independently through the
institutional mechanism.
7.5. INVESTMENT PLANNING AND
MONITORING MECHANISM
The investments required for 24X7 power
supply have already been articulated in the
previous chapters. However it is important to
ensure that the investments is made on time as
per plans and to deliver the desired results.
For effective implementation, a Project
Monitoring Unit (PMU) is proposed to be
established by government of Rajasthan. The
role of the PMU shall be to ensure the
following:
• Develop, compile and update (or require
the same to be done) detailed project
plans for all capex related to 24X7
supply and related aspects (including
the renewable energy related
infrastructure and monitoring
investments);
• Monitor progress against the plans,
analyse and advise the utilities on
any delays and bottlenecks on
critical measures to promote 24X7
supply and also ensure broader
financial viability by tracking
measures on loss reduction,
investments, etc. and prepare
financial/physical progress of the
projects as per defined periodicity;
• Timely availability of information
about various projects, their
sources of the finance, the terms
and conditions that govern the
projects (including the externally
aided projects and those supported
by Government of India and
Government of Rajasthan).
• Identify the issues to where
intervention of GoI is required
and take up these issues with
concerned ministries under
intimation to MoP
• Arrange initial dialogue/interaction
with the external agencies. Support
negotiation arranged by the
concerned entity/department for
project assistance.
• Maintain data base records of
projects under its purview in a
structured manner and ensure
timely availability when required
• To organise the monthly/quarterly
review meetings chaired by Chief
Secretary/Energy Secretary &
Director, PMC.
61
The PMU shall use state of the art IT tools to
ensure that the information on projects
tracked is always updated and available in the
manner required for decision making by
Government of Rajasthan and other
concerned entities. The PMU shall be
manned by an independent external agency
that shall be responsible for reviewing and
reporting progress on a monthly basis.
62
8. OTHER INITIATIVES
8.1. COMMUNICATION
Successful implementation of 24X7 Power Supply Scheme requires clear communication
among all the stakeholders across the value chain, including the consumers. In order to avoid
potential roadblocks in implementation due to poor communication and flow of information, the
following table lists the primary responsibility of each stakeholder and the corresponding
method in which it will be carried out.
A centralized corporate communication team can be formed at headquarters of the DISCOM for
looking at activities of overall communication strategy.
The financial situation in Rajasthan makes it imperative to raise tariffs while other initiatives
including 24X7 supply are implemented. Such tariff increases would inevitably impact
consumers and meet with resistance. To address this, the utilities would clearly communicate
their plans on implementing the reliable 24X7 supply scheme along with the other reliability and
efficiency improvement measures that they are implementing. A high level of involvement of
the Government of Rajasthan will also be required.

8.2. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
(IT) INITIATIVES
The need to adopt IT in every sphere of utility
operation is pervasive. Power is a complex
product that must be consumed on a real time
basis. The overall value involved in the
process is very high. Even more importantly
it touches all citizens. Yet, the information
systems that drive the operations of the sector
are generally very basic and information
transparency and consistency is poor. While
sporadic efforts have been made in the past to
improve this, quantum changes are required to
increase IT adoption in all spheres of power
sector operation.
In Rajasthan, IT adoption on a massive scale
will be pursued in the following areas:
� At the corporate level, the operations need
to be integrated through implementation
of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
(ERP). This would cover critical aspects
like Finance and Accounts, Asset
Management, Inventory Management,
Human Resource Management, Project
Management, Personal information
System (PIS). ERP will help in timely
capitalization of asset, deriving better
business value of investment etc.
� At the commercial operations level there
is a need to comprehensively implement
Customer Management Systems (CMS)
for undertaking customer related
processes including billing and
collections, customer complaint
management, new connection provision
etc.;
� Centralized Information & Monitoring
System for operational , enforcement &
litigation, vigilance activities and analysis
� Power management would require the
institution of technically capable
controlling facilities equipped with tools
like SCADA and Distribution
Management Systems (DMS) that allow
for adequate visualization of the networks
and response capabilities. Technologies
for sub-station automation, GIS, SCADA,
DMS, OMS, etc., shall be adopted. For the
urban areas SCADA is quite useful for
improving reliability and reduction of
network downtime.
� Regional Distribution Control Centres
(RDCC) within the State are proposed to
be established. These will initially cater to
the principal load centres, but would
thereafter be expanded to all load centres
of the state. This will be a key initiative,
not only for effectively managing 24X7
supply, but also thereafter for other
functions like forecasting.
� Renewable Energy Management centres
shall be established and equipped with
adequate capabilities through financing
availed from KfW and ADB.
� Smart Cities will be implemented to inter-
alia, reduce the intensity of electricity
consumption in the cities while
simultaneously improving supply quality,
reliability and integration of renewable
energy resources
� Power procurement optimization tools
will be implemented to reduce the power
procurement costs and improve supply
reliability. This shall be achieved through
the institution of technically robust
forecasting, scheduling and dispatch (Unit
Commitment) and settlement tools. The
tools shall be used to ensure that the
control room operators have the ability to
take real time decisions to ensure cost
reduction.
� Project monitoring tools shall be
incorporated in the PMU to ensure that
progress on the investments in the state
are monitored rigorously and bottlenecks
identified.
� Standards of service specified under
Section 57 of the EA 2003 shall be
monitored. The utilities shall use IT tools
to gather the information with regards to
service standards with minimal manual
63
intervention to ensure transparency and
credibility.
The above need to be implemented urgently,
and also need to be integrated with each other
to ensure that the systems are inter-operable
(i.e., they can talk to each other). For this the
utilities shall evolve a detailed IT plan to
implement the above in a well-coordinated
manner.
8.3. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
A strong monitoring framework is essential to
ensure the success of the “Power for all”
scheme. The following structure is being
proposed to undertake regular monitoring of
the progress of all initiatives being under-
taken in this scheme.
� Government of India (GOI) Level Committee: It is proposed that this
committee will review the overall
progress of the scheme on a
quarterly basis and provide
necessary support to ensure a
coordinated response from the
Central Govt. - where necessary.
The committee may be constituted
with the following members – PFC,
REC, CEA, SECI, EESL, Ministry
of Power Ministry of Coal, and
MNRE.
� State Government Level Committee: It is proposed that a
State level committee headed by the
Chief Secretary will be formed to
review the progress of the scheme
on a quarterly basis. This committee
will monitor the progress of the
works undertaken as part of the
scheme and issue directions to
enable faster execution. This
committee will be constituted with
the following Principal Secretaries/
Secretaries of the Power, Finance,
Urban Development, Agriculture
and other relevant departments along
with the CMD/Chairman/MD of
RVUNL, RVPNL and the Discoms
and RRECL.
� Department Level Committee: It is
proposed that the Department level
committee headed by the Energy
Secretary will be formed and shall
undertake steps required to ensure
the projects are progressing as per
the action plan. This 9999committee
will undertake progress reviews on a
monthly basis. The committee will
be constituted with the following
members –Secretary (Energy), CMD
RVPNL, MD of Discoms and
RRECL.
� District Level Committee – It is
proposed to constitute a district level
committee headed by the District
Collector to take action that is
necessary to ensure the projects are
completed in a timely manner and
address any issues pertaining to land
or other relevant approvals. The
committee will be constituted with
the following members – District
Collector, S.E RVPNL, S.E Discom
and RRECL representatives.
� Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) –
A project monitoring unit shall be
set to up for monitoring the progress
of the works being undertaken under
this scheme. The PMU will operate
under the Secretary, Energy and
shall be operated by an external
independent agency. The PMU shall
be responsible for undertaking
coordination, preparing the action
plans and monitoring progress of all
works under the “Power for all”
scheme. The PMU would also help
facilitate in tracking the action steps
and providing feedback to the
various committee that are proposed
to be set up under the scheme.
Government of India shall provide
grants for the PMU operations.
The committees that are being proposed
above are required to be set up at the earliest
to kick start the whole scheme. It is
important that the committees keep meeting
on a regular basis as per the frequency/
timelines mentioned above – to ensure that
64
the objectives set out under the “Power for
all” scheme are achieved.
8.4. CAPACITY BUILDING
With the increase of IT in the Generation,
Transmission & Distribution system and to
meet the expectations of 24 X 7 power supply
for the consumers in the state, it is important
to focus on capacity building of the
employees for enhancement of technical
know-how for latest technological
developments and to increase the consumer
satisfaction. The capacity building may also
include consumer grievance system,
awareness regarding importance of working
with safety, outage management system,
demand side management etc. It is also
imperative to state that for serving the
consumers in a different way change of
mindset of the employees would be required.
It is critical that Change Management
initiatives are roll out and institutionalize
through out the DISCOM for achieving better
results. The details of the present employee in
the Rajasthan Discoms is as under:

In view of the importance of the training on
new technologies, there is a requirement for
development and implementation of Human
Resource training programme so as to realize
the dream of 24 X 7 power supply system in
the state in its true sense.
There is already a provision for Demand
Side Management (DMS) trainings under
various programmes of Bureau of energy
Efficiency (BEE) and the same should be
implemented to achieve the goal of 24 X 7
power for goal. The training for the class C &
D employees are also being provided under
RAPDRP Part C scheme.
A state level officers training institute may be
required to be opened in the state to fulfil the
ongoing training requirement for employees
of Discoms. A provision of approximately Rs.
25 Crores would be required for the same.
Also at each district headquarters, training
schools needs to be opened for training of
subordinate technical staff for which
approximately Rs. 50 Crores will be required
by considering Rs. 1.5 Crores for each district
headquarter. Following training programmes
are proposed to be implemented for Discoms:
1. Two Weeks trainings for technical
staff including officers & engineers
once in every two years.
2. One week training for non-technical
officers every two years.
3. One week training for subordinate
technical staff at each district
headquarters every year.

7 Interest rate reduction of 2 percent for STL for FY 15 and FY 16
8 Higher Rural supply/associated investment costs
9 Lower/more efficient consumption in households
10 Lower Agricultural Sales Growth
i. Sensitivity to AT&C Loss Reduction
High and Low reduction in AT&C losses, relative to the base case reduction, has been considered in
this analysis
Base Case and Sensitivity Scenario (AT & C losses)

86
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap under the three scenarios listed above. Clearly,
higher AT&C loss reduction has a significant impact on the Financial Gap. Without the past liabilities
impact, the state can return to profitability by 2016-17 even with low AT&C loss reduction.

5.62 6.52 7.56 8.19 8.86
87
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap in the tariff hike scenarios listed above. As seen
in the table below, a high tariff increase in the first 3 years leads to considerable impact on Financial
Gap. Including past liabilities, the state is expected to eliminate its losses by 2016-17.

iii. Sensitivity to Cost of Power Procurement
A 5% average reduction in power purchase costs over the base case has been assumed.
Base Case and Sensitivity Scenario
Scenario Assumptions 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19
Base Case Power Purchase Cost (Rs. Cr.) 22341 25511 28472 34960 40773
Sensitivity: 5% Lower Power Purchase Cost (Rs. Cr.) 21113 24108 26906 33037 38530
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap. Clearly, the lowering of procurement costs,
which make up close to 70% of the total costs of Discoms, has a significant impact on the existing
Financial Gap levels.
Impact of Power Purchase Cost Reduction - Rs./Kwh

Sensitivity: Lower PP Cost (1.33) (0.60) 0.26 0.92 1.05 1.15
88
iv. Sensitivity to Interest Payments
To analyse the sensitivity to interest payment, interest on past STL is assumed to be capitalized for
additional 2 years, beyond FY15. Also, another case in which Interest on Loans for first two years
(FY 15 and FY 16) has been assumed to be reduced to 10% has been considered.
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap.
Impact of Additional Interest Capitalization/Reduction - Rs. /Kwh
With Past Liability Impact 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19

Sensitivity: Additional 2 year capitalization of
interest on STL (2.02) (1.58) (0.78) (0.10) (0.20) (0.28)
Sensitivity: STL Interest Reduced to 10% (FY
15 to 17) (2.02) (1.45) (0.86) (0.36) (0.39) (0.23)
Without Past Liability Impact
Base Case (1.33) (0.86) (0.00) 0.65 0.75 0.84
Sensitivity: Additional 2 year capitalization of
interest on STL (1.33) (0.86) (0.00) 0.65 0.75 0.84
Sensitivity: STL Interest Reduced to 10% (FY
15 to 17) (1.33) (0.86) (0.00) 0.65 0.75 0.84
v. Sensitivity to Investment Costs
To analyze the sensitivity to investment costs, Higher Investment Costs (Rural Electrification and
Feeder Improvement Costs increased by 50%) have been assumed.
Base Case and Sensitivity Scenario
Scenario Assumptions 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19
Base Case RE & Feeder Segregation Capex 2650 950 - - -
Sensitivity: High Capex 2650 1700 750
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap. Considering that other parameters improve as
per the base case, Higher Capex has a negligible impact on the Financial Gap.

Base Case (1.33) (0.86) (0.00) 0.65 0.75 0.84
Sensitivity: High Capex (1.79) (0.92) (0.13) 0.48 0.62 0.71
vi. Sensitivity to Consumption
For more energy efficient consumption, Urban and rural household consumption is assumed to reduce
by 10%, 2016-17 onwards.
Base Case and Sensitivity Scenario
Scenario Assumptions 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19
Base Case Urban and Rural Consumption - kwh per HH 5.5 & 2 6.1 & 2.3 6.8 & 2.5 7.4 &
2.75
8 & 3
Sensitivity: 10% Lower Consumption from FY 18 5.5 & 2 6.1 & 2.3 6.1 & 2.3 6.6 & 2.5 7.2 &
2.7
Result:
The table below shows the impact on Financial Gap. The CoS increases because lesser units are sold
for the same infrastructure/O&M costs. However, if the higher AT&C losses and lower ABR for
small customers are taken into account, Energy Efficiency would increase gains and reduce subsidy
burden.
