Скачать или смотреть The Future of Discoms in a Green Electricity World

"Electricity distribution companies (discoms) have long been the bedrock of India’s electricity system. But discoms, and the sector as a whole, are changing due to the rise of renewable energy (RE). How will discoms weather this transition and with what impacts for reliability, access and cost of India’s electricity?

One pathway of impact is the need for substantially higher investment in the sector to facilitate a green transition. How will the backdrop of rising outstanding dues, the limited impact of two decades of central bailouts, and efforts to plug financial gaps affect the ability to attract investment to the sector? What are the implications of a new generation of legislative and policy reforms, including proposed amendments to the Electricity Act 2003, and far-reaching policy changes, including to the framework for Renewable Portfolio Obligations? The panel will discuss the pathways to making the sector economically viable in the context of a green transition."
