Report of Indian Institute of Public Administration ... - Ministry of Power

Uttar Pradesh
The power sector reform programme, announced in January 1999, aimed at achieving the
following goals:
(a) Restructuring of UPSEB by segregating power generation, transmission and
distribution functions through establishment of autonomous and separately
accountable entities, through transfer of assets, liabilities and personnel to them;
(b) Corporatisation and commercialisation of new emerging entities in a phased
manner;
(c) Establishing an independent regulatory body;
(d) Promotion of private sector participation in power generation and distribution in
phases; and
(e) Tariff reform with the objective to rationalise tariff for full cost recovery and
minimise cross-subsidy.
After the enactment of the EA, 2003, the State Government declared its “Power Policy
2003” for Uttar Pradesh with the objective of fulfilling the need for universal access and
for providing reliable, quality and affordable power to the consumers.
