Main Objective
Competition,Deregulation and Open
Access
Benefits of Electricity Deregulation
Entities in Deregulated Environment
Transmission and Distribution
Why Regulation?
Structure of Regulated and Deregulated

Electricity act 2003
3. Deregulation-“Electric deregulation is the
process of changing rules and regulations that
control the electric industry to provide
customers the choice of electricity suppliers
who are either retailers or traders by allowing
competition. Deregulation improves the
economic efficiency of the production and use
of electricity. Due to competition in the electric
industry, the power prices are likely to come
down which benefits the consumers.
4. To provide electricity for all reasonable demands.
To encourage the “competition” in the generation
and supply of electricity.
To improve the continuity of supply and the quality
of services.
To promote efficiency and economy of the power
system.
5. Competition
The competition is at two levels in deregulated power
industry: Wholesale (generation) and retail
(distribution).
6. Systems capacity will be used efficiently.
Optimization of energy supply will takes place.
Price of the electricity will become clearer.
Consumer choice will be improved.
Bad technologies are ignored and good technologies
are replaced in their place.
Electricity prices are reduced.
The usage efficiency is improved due to restructuring
in price signals.
9. Why “REGULATION” ?Why “REGULATION” ?
Regulation of utilities is based on the
inherent risk that a single monopoly
supplier will overcharge consumers due
to the lack of competition and high
demand.
12. The Marketplace Mechanism
12
1. Poolco
There is only one buyer in this system. The Poolco is a
governmental agency that buys for everyone, taking
bids from all sellers and buying enough power to meet
the total need, taking the lowest cost bidders.
2.Bilateral Exchange
In this type of multi-seller/buyer system individual
buyer or seller make a deal to exchange a power at
prices and under the conditions they agree to.
13. 3.Power Exchange (PX)
The Government sets up, or causes the power industry to
establish, a trading exchange for electric power, which operates
much like a stock exchange. The buyers and sellers enter their
needs into the power exchange. whereas, the seller would enter
his demand .
14. Pool Market
1)All energy transactions are carried
out through the pool
2)The Poolco operator is responsible
for the market settlements, unit
commitment and determination of
pool price.
3)Participation by Gencos is
mandatory
4)Here Poolco operator is
responsible
5)Eg. UK market
Open access market
1)Bulk of energy transactions are
carried out as bilateral trades.
2)The ISO is responsible for market
administration, generation
scheduling or dispatch function.
3)Participation in the market by
Gencos is not mandatory
4)The ISO is responsible for
system security and control.
5)Eg. Nordic markets
15. Network Conjestion
When the producers and consumers of the electric
energy desire to produce and consume in amounts
that would cause the transmission system to operate
at or beyond one or more transfer limit, the system is
said to be congested.
16. 1.Price Area Congestion Management
2.Available Transfer Capability (ATC) based
Congestion Management
3.Optimal Power Flow (OPF ) based Congestion
Management.
17. For a genco to survive in competitive
environment, it has to operate very
efficiently. But only efficient operation
sometimes may not suffice because in the
energy auction it has to sell its products at
competitive prices to get the maximum
profit out of it
18. All those activities on the
interconnected grid that are necessary
to support the transmission of power
while maintaining reliable operation
and ensuring the required degree of
quality and safety.
19. Supply Shortage
A supply shortage due to generation outages
can cause electricity prices to shoot up
drastically.
Defaults
The default of the participant to complete the
transaction can raise the issue of creditworthiness and
this also may load to price hike
20. Lack Of Experience
Market participant’s lack of experience with hedging
tools could be another source of risks in electricity
markets.
21. The electricity sector must be opened for
competition. The Act also seeks to consolidate,
update and rationalize laws related to generation,
transmission, distribution, trading and use of
power.
It focuses on:
• Creating competition in the industry
• Protecting consumer interest
• Ensuring supply of electricity to all area
22. Reliability and “fair” electricity prices
through innovative technologies,
economics and competition
