After unbundling of DVB the distribution sector has been handed over to private companies while the generation and transmission are still with the government. Over the years, DTL has evolved as a most dynamic performer, keeping pace with the many-fold challenges that confront the ever increasing demand-supply-power-situation and achieving functional superiority on all fronts. The Transmission losses have been brought down from 3.84% in 2002-03 to 0.83% in 2006-07, and are lowest in the country. DTL, has been responsibly playing its role in establishing, upgrading, operating and maintaining the Extra High Voltage network. DTL has also been assigned the responsibility of running the State Load Dispatch Centre which is an apex body to ensure integrated operations of power systems in Delhi. This apart, DTL has been designated as a nodal agency under Energy Conservation Act 2001 and it is playing a vital role in encouraging energy conservation and promotion of renewable energy, Thus ensuring savings of power and smooth load management. DTL has played a vital role in establishment of Public Grievance Cell to look into the complaints of electricity consumer and is actively participating in making Delhi Governments citizen friendly project a success.

Delhi Transco Limited

Delhi Transco Limited is the State Transmission Utility for the National Capital Territory of Delhi. It is responsible for the transmission of power at 220 kV and 400 kV level and for upgrading, operating and maintaining the high voltage network.

History of Electricity in Delhi

The position is that as per available records, the first diesel Power Station was established in Delhi in the year 1905 when a private English Company by name M/s. John Fleming was given permission to generate electricity under the provisions of the Indian Electricity Act 1903. The above mentioned Company was given the responsibility both of generation and distribution of power in a limited manner. That Company after obtaining

license under the provisions of Electricity Act 1903 had set up a small 2 MW Diesel set at Lahori Gate in Old Delhi. Later on, 4

this very Company was converted as Delhi Electricity Supply and Traction Company. In the Year 1911, the power generation was augmented by Steam Generation Station. In the year 1932, the management of Central Power House was handed over to New Delhi Municipal Committee (NDMC). In the field of power generation and distribution, a major break through was

achieved in 1939 when Delhi Central Electricity Power Authority (DCEPA) was established. This Company was responsible for the supply of power to the areas covered by Local Bodies, namely, the Municipal Committees of Delhi, West Delhi and South Delhi, the Notified Area Committees of Red fort, Civil Lines, Mehrauli, Najaf Garh, amd the District Board of Delhi. The supply of electricity to the Municipal Committees of DelhiShahdara and the Notified Area of Narela was done by different private agencies. In 1947 DCEPA took over a Private Limited Company by name Delhi electric Supply & traction Company Limited.

F o r m a t i o n o f De l h i S t at e E l e ct r i c i t y B o a r d ( D S E B )
In the year 1951 the Delhi State Electricity Board (DSEB) came into existence and the responsibility of generation and

distribution of electricity was taken over by DSEB from DCEPA.

Undertaking

After the promulgation of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act 1957, the DSEB was dissolved and the functions of DSEB were taken over by Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking (DESU), which came into existence in 1958. After the formation DESU, the generation and distribution of electricity to all the areas of Delhi came under DESU.

F o r m a t i o n o f De l h i V i d y u t B o a r d ( D V B )
The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi vide notification No. F.11 (10)/92-LSG /PF (II) dated 24.02.1997, issued under the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, constituted a separate Electricity Board, i.e. the Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) for the NCT of Delhi w.e.f. 24.02.1997 for the purpose of

generation and distribution of power to the entire area of NCT of Delhi except the areas falling within the jurisdiction of NDMC and Delhi Cantonment Board.

Unbundling of Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB)

The power situation in Delhi till a few year ago was yet another example of mans incapacity to handle another form of energy. The Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) was a State Electricity Board set 6

up in 1997 under the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, succeeding the Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking (DESU) which has existed since 1957 as a wing of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It was an integrated utility with generation, transmission and distribution functions serving all of Delhi except the NDMC and MES (Cantoment) areas to which it supplied power in bulk. The creation of DVB, replacing DESU, is 1997 proved to be merely a change in the legal status of the organization and was not followed by any real change in its structure, functioning and work culture. Its reputation continued to deteriorate and its poor commercial performance, the best known thing about DVB perhaps being its high Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses made it a drain on the public exchequer. Further, failure in raising the resources matters necessary for improvement were of its

services

made

critical.

There

unprecedented,

widespread expressions of public discontent during the difficult summer of 1998. In December 1998 when the present Government came to power in Delhi, the power situation was grim to say the least. With T & D losses as high as 50% regular power cute for 10 to 15 hours and Delhi Vidyut Board accumulating liabilities of over Rs. 23,000 crores, Delhi Government had to come up with a fast and viable alternative. An alternative that would not only meet 7

peoples aspirations in terms of its end result but also be interesting enough for investors. And thus began a step by step process of a never-before fundamental power reform. Delhi Electricity Board Regulatory Commission (DERC) was constituted in May 1999 whose prime responsibility was to look into the entire gamut of existing activity and search for various ways of power sector reforms. The DERC is even today a fully functional body which has since issued tariff orders for annual revenue requirement. Delhi Electricity Reform Ordinance, 2000 was a body which was promulgated in October 2000 and

notified in the form of an Act in March 2001. It mainly provides for the constitution of an Electricity Regulatory Commission, unbundling of DVB into separate generation, transmission and distribution companies and increasing avenues for participation of private sector. This was followed with a Tripartite Agreement which was signed by the Government of Delhi, DVB employees to ensure the cooperation of stakeholders in this reform process. The

tripartite agreement sent off very positive vibes to the people in general as well as to the investor community about the sincere and hassle-free objectives of power reforms.

Next, a two stage competitive bidding process of Request for Qualification (RFQ) and Request for Proposal (RFP) was set into motion for privatization of the distribution companies. The bidders were selected on the basis of reduction of total Aggregate Technical and Commercial of losses (AT & C) a unique bidders feature were of the power to bid sector on reforms the basis in of Delhi. The

improvement like reduction of AT & C losses that they achieve year wise over a period of five years.

D e l h i E l e c t r i c i t y Re g u l a t o r y Co m m i s s i o n :
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission was Constituted by the government of National Capital Territory of Delhi on March 3, 1999 & it became operational from December 10, 1999. The commissions approach to regultion is driven by the

electricity act 2003, the National Electricity plan, the National Tarriff Policy & the Delhi Electricity Reform Act 2000. The Act

mandates the commission to take measures conductive to the development & management of electricity industry in an

efficient, economic & competitive manner.

On July 1, 2002,The Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB) was unbundled into six successor companies: Delhi Power Supply Company Limited (DPCL)- Holding Company; Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) - TRANSCO; Indraprastha Power Generation Company Limited (IPGCL) - GENCO; BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) DISCOM; BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) DISCOM;

North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL) - DISCOM. The Government handed over the management of the business of electricity distributions to there private companies BRPL , BYPL and NDPL since July 1, 2002 with 51% equity with the private sector.(DVB itself was the successor entity to the Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking (DESU). Of these five companies, BRPL, BYPL and NDPL are joint ventures between the Delhi Government and the private sector which handle the power distribution sector in Delhi. BRPL is responsible for distribution of power in Central, South and West Delhi. BYPL handles power distribution in East Delhi (TransYamuna). NDPL distributes power in North and North-West Delhi. The remaining two companies, DTL and IPGCL, are 12

wholly owned by the Delhi Government. Delhi Transco Limited is a 'State Transmission Utility of the National Capital of Delhi', whereas IPGCL is responsible for power generation. Over the years, DTL has evolved as a most dynamic performer, keeping pace with the many-fold challenges that confront the ever increasing demand-supply-power-situation and achieving functional superiority on all fronts. The Transmission losses have been brought down from 3.84% in 2002-03 to 0.83% in 2006-07, and are the lowest in the country. Delhi, being the capital of India and the hub of commercial activities in the Northern Region, coupled with the prosperity of population, the load requirement has been growing at a much faster pace. Added to that, being the focus of socio-economic and political life of India, Delhi is assuming increasing eminence among the great cities of the world. Plus the vision-2021, aiming to make Delhi a global Metropolitan and world class city demands

greater infrastructure to enrich many services of infrastructure development. DTL, has been responsibly playing its role in establishing, upgrading, Voltage) operating network. and DTL maintaining has also the EHV (Extra High the

Power Arrangements of Delhi DTL had been arranging power from various sources for all the five distribution licensees since 1 July 2002. Keeping in mind the Commonwealth Games 2010 it had signed Power Purchase Agreements for more than 9000 MW of power. This arrangement continued till 31 March 2007. From 1 April 2007 onwards all the distribution agencies are directly purchasing power and all the long and short term Power Purchase Agreements have been transferred to these agencies by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) on the basis of their consumption. Now it is the responsibility of the distribution companies to arrange power for their respective areas. However a Power Procurement Group has been formed to coordinate the procurement and sale of power which is headed by a DTL Officer. Now DTL is responsible only for efficient transmission of power.
