ELECTRICITY LAW
Understanding the nuances of the Power Sector
The Constitution of India places electricity under the concurrent list. Therefore, both the Parliament (Union) and the State Legislatures (State) in India can legislate on matters relating to electricity subject to the law made by Parliament, which have precedence over the laws made by the State Legislature. The Electricity Act 2003 governs the activities relating to generation, transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity in India. The generation of electricity (except hydro) is an activity that does not require a licence. Distribution, transmission and trading of electricity are licensed activities under the Electricity Act. Before the Electricity Act entered into force, the activities of generation and distribution were state-owned. One of the key objectives of the Electricity Act was promoting competition within its framework allowing private sector participation in power generation, supply and distribution of electricity in India.
