Dabhol power project
The Dabhol Power Project in Maharashtra, India was a controversial project led by Enron that faced many issues and challenges. It was mired in allegations of lack of transparency in the bidding process, corruption, and extremely high returns for shareholders. This posed high risks for the state electricity board, MSEB, which was contractually obligated to purchase 90% of the power at high rates. Breach of the contract could lead to substantial losses for MSEB and state governments. There was also strong local opposition over environmental concerns and lack of compensation for acquired lands. The project faced numerous political flip-flops before ultimately being shut down in 2001.

Political Economy of Energy Reforms
The document summarizes Pakistan's energy sector challenges and proposes reforms. It notes that energy demand has grown 80% but the mix relies heavily on depleting gas and imported oil. This puts pressure on gas and power sectors due to unrealistic pricing, inefficiencies and low cost recovery. If unaddressed, energy imports may rise from 30% to 75% by 2025, costing the economy $35 billion and 1.4 million jobs. The document proposes three reform areas: 1) improving energy governance through regulatory independence and professional management, 2) rationalizing energy pricing by phasing out subsidies and ensuring full cost recovery, and 3) limiting government's role to policy and planning while enabling private sector investment. It also discusses
Power sector in india
The power sector in India has undergone significant changes since independence in 1947. Initially, the sector was controlled by the British with a generating capacity of 1,362 MW. Post independence, the Electricity Supply Act of 1948 established the Central Electricity Authority and State Electricity Boards to regulate and supply power. Until the 1990s, state governments managed generation, transmission and distribution. Economic reforms in 1991 introduced privatization. The Electricity Act of 2003 further restructured the sector by introducing license-free generation, open access to transmission and gradual implementation of open access in distribution. Currently, India ranks 5th in production but faces issues like shortage of fuel, infrastructure gaps and high transmission losses that impact reliable supply.
Japan power sector liberalization
1. Japan has two interconnected power grids operating at different frequencies that are connected by a 1.2 GW HVDC link. It has the second highest pumped storage capacity and is the third largest producer of solar power.
2. Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan restructured its power sector to increase competition and diversify its energy mix away from nuclear and fossil fuels. This included establishing independent system operators and power exchanges to liberalize the market.
3. Reforms over the past decade have included establishing a capacity market, requiring utilities to divest generation assets, and mandating greater participation in wholesale markets. These changes aim to improve security of supply, reduce costs for consumers, and expand business opportunities in the power
