B. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS/ACHIEVEMENTS: Special Achievements:
1. Regulatory Commission:
Enhanced efficiency in operations by tightening efficiency norms and brought improved availability of Generating Stations and that of transmission network during my tenure.
About 53 regulations pertaining to Tariff, Transmission and Grid, Renewable Energy, Market, Licensing & other miscellaneous procedures were issued, about 977 orders were passed since 2009 till date. Policy Advices were given to Govt. on matters relating to need for peaking Power, Open access, Tariff based competitive bidding, special measures were taken to tighten the frequency band to 49.8 to 50.2 Hz from 49.2 to 50.3 Hz in two phases. Plant availability norms were raised from 80 to 85%. The systems of Transmission pricing changed from postage stamp to Point of connection charge throughout the country, a landmark achievement. This facilitated the transmission pricing charges as per quantum, distance and direction sensitive. Two Power Exchanges are operating in the country and the third is likely to be operational soon. Hydro Power has been proposed to be incentivized in the form of 1% higher return to reservoir based projects, 43 trading licenses have been issued, 11 high capacity transmission corridors have been given go ahead for 58000 crores of investment by giving regulatory approvals.
