The Board had been in the red as the net losses were in the range <strong>of</strong> Rs 500-600<br />

crore each year up to 2003-04. The net worth <strong>of</strong> the utilities had been eroded<br />

and the old structure could not cope with the increasing power demand, both in<br />

terms <strong>of</strong> quality and affordability to the consumers. The operational and<br />

financial conditions <strong>of</strong> the utilities were such that the system could not be<br />

carried on without heavily eating into resources <strong>of</strong> the State Government,<br />

which it could hardly afford. The State Government realised that the process <strong>of</strong><br />

reform and restructuring <strong>of</strong> the whole power sector had become inevitable. The<br />

3 PROGRESS OF RESTRUCTURING<br />

3.1 ASEB is the first SEB, to be restructured after the enactment <strong>of</strong> the EA, 2003.<br />

In some ways, it is a unique model, which has been evolved under the new<br />
