Open Access a Right to choose your own source of Power is true or false.Even after 11 years of the effect of The Electricity Act 2003, Open
Access is still a distant dream for many stakeholders of the sector.
Reasons may be transmission bottlenecks or political will, the end
result is the same. Though bulk consumers trade around 40% of the power
traded through leading power exchanges to procure power by-passing the
local utilities, serious issues in Open Access still remain.
A 100% Open Access implementation throughout
India by empowering the infrastructure, consumer and local utility is
very much important in the scenario to minimize this loss.This year after elections, it was assumed to be a positive scenario in the
Indian markets providing lots of opportunities for the industries to
grow globally by imparting the competitiveness in prices by minimizing
the cost of power procurement. Open Access is a one stop solution for
this objective.
INTRA-STATE OPEN ACCESS
Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh is the state with the most cost beneficial scope of intra state open access for industrial consumers. In this report, the comparison for industrial colonies and industrial tariff has been done with open access landed cost. For each Discom of the state, the comparison gives positive results for an industry drawing at 11kV.
Haryana after increasing cross subsidy and additional surcharge to approx Rs 2.52 per Kwh for industrial consumers is is no more cost economical for industries to draw power through short term interstate open access. Cost of discom supply is almost equivalent to landed cost of exchange power/ STOA or MTOA. competition of open access and discom supply is negligible. industrialists are forced to buy discom power eliminating competition. So Open Access a Right to choose your own source of Power seems to be false
