Improving Governance in the Sector

The focus should be on improving governance so in which reforms are more compatible along with broader sustainable development goals.

You should know in which the distribution industry today has become complex and demanding. Electric utilities are no more monopolistic enterprises; competition in that sector is being encouraged. Every utility, public or private, has to demonstrate concrete achievements in reductions in AT&C losses and rise in collections. Cost-effectiveness is the key to keep in business.

Various reform initiatives have been undertaken to improve the functioning of utilities. Concerted efforts are being made to meet investment needs for capacity building in the state, improve operational efficiencies and quality of supply, and improve the financial viability of the sector and its whole management.

We would like to end this unit on this note and summarize its main ideas.
