It may be seen that the rule has played a vital role towards ensuring the financial discipline in discoms, the minister added.<\/p>\n<p>In another written reply to the House, Singh stated that there is no proposal for privatisation of any existing state-owned distribution licensee and they shall continue to function as earlier.<\/p>\n<p>About fears of impact of Electricity Amendment Bill 2022 on the poor, he explained that the provision of multiple licensees already exists in the present Electricity Act 2003 and no new concept has been introduced.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments propose removal of some bottlenecks so that the existing provisions can be implemented, he further explained.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-3745224187\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>There is no proposal to change ownership of any asset or network (of power distribution), he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The licensee owning the network will get revenue in the form of wheeling charges, as determined by the state commission, for its investment in network. Accordingly, the distribution licensee which uses the network shall pay the charges as determined by the state commission, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said that there is no possibility of cherry picking, as the law provides for universal service obligation and minimum area of supply, as well as minimum tariff to be decided by the state commission, and a cross-subsidy balancing fund and sharing of cost of existing PPAs (power purchased agreement).<\/p>\n<p>Thus the distribution licensee, who has industrial and commercial consumers, will have to deposit the cross subsidy in the cross-subsidy balancing fund which shall be used by other licensees who have deficit of cross subsidy, he told the House.<\/p>\n<p>The provision for multiple licensees in the same area of supply already exists in the Electricity Act, 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed amendment will ensure better services to the consumers and electricity at competitive rates. State Regulatory Commission will also lay down a ceiling tariff and state governments will continue to have right to give subsidy as per their discretion, Singh said.
