INTRODUCTION:

The process of economic reforms in India in the 1990s resulted in the emergence of independent regulators in certain key sectors of the economy including the power sector. In 1998, the Electricity Regulatory Commissions (ERC) Act was passed providing for the establishment of central and state electricity regulatory commissions. The Electricity Act (EA), 2003, superceded the ERC Act. It was the first legal document to recognise the potential of renewables to provide grid electricity. It provides for policy formulation by the Government of India and mandates state electricity regulatory commissions (SERCs) to take steps to promote renewable and non-conventional sources of energy within their jurisdiction.

Enactments prior to EA, 2003, had no specific provision for promoting renewable or non-conventional sources of energy. Due to this lacuna, policies related to renewable sources of energy were left to state governments and electricity boards. Although the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE, then MNES) attempted to give impetus to the sector by way of policy guidelines in 1994–95, the efforts led to mixed results. However, EA, 2003, changed the legal and regulatory framework for the renewable electricity sector. While Sections 3, 61, and 86 in the Act contain the main provisions for accelerating renewable-based electricity generation, Section 3 specifically mandates formulation of the National Electricity Policy and National Tariff Policy for development of power systems based on optimal utilisation of all resources including renewable sources of energy.

Thus, EA, 2003, proved to be an enabling tool for the Indian electricity regulators, who played a crucial role in bringing about a paradigm shift in the electricity sector through proactive actions to promote renewables. It is time now to take an independent, knowledge-based review of their achievements, and analyse shortcomings and barriers, so as to chart a future course of action for R.E. regulation in India. With this objective in mind, the World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) is organising 'R.E. Regulation India 2010'—the first such comprehensive conference to be held in India that aims to facilitate multi-stakeholder deliberations on the past experiences of R.E. Regulation and chart the way forward towards an 'electricity secure' future.
