SYSTEM AVAILABILITY |

Power Transmission and Distribution Systems spread along the breath and width of all the
four regions of the Union Territory. With adequate allocation of power from Central
Generating Stations and from other states, the power situation is comfortable in the Union
Territory. With the present quantum of allocation, the demand was able to be met in full
without any constraint. Additional allocation of power has also been sought for from many
upcoming power plants and these additional allocations will be sufficient to meet the
future requirement of the Union Territory. Details of power allocation and power system

SECTOR REFORMS |
 Economic liberalization was
introduced in the country in the last decade of 20th century. In order to remain globally
competitive, all core sectors were forced to economize their operations. Quality power at
affordable cost was therefore sought for by all the stack holders of the economy. This
required huge investment in the power sector to augment the generation capacity, to
strengthen the transmission and distribution networks and to reduce the Transmission,
Distribution and commercial losses. However the poor state of affairs of the Electricity
Boards didn’t permit such large investments. Hence self sustaining growth of the
power sector and its financial viability is therefore felt essential for the speedy and
sustained socio economic development of the country. In order to create a healthy power
sector that would pave the way for accelerated development in the country, the Government
of India introduced the Power Sector Reforms. The reform aims to develop an efficient,
commercially viable and competitive power sector and to provide quality and uninterrupted
supply at reasonable prices to all categories of consumers. In tune with the national
momentum, the Union Territory of Puducherry is also contemplating various reforms measures
including restructuring of the operations of the Department. Click the links below to know
