DIFFERENT FORMS

OF ENERGY
KINETIC ENERGY: The energy of
an object in motion called ‘kinetic
energy’
POTENTIAL ENERGY: The energy
which a body possesses as a result of
its position in earth’s gravitational
field is called ‘potential energy’
HEAT ENERGY: Heat is an intrinsic
energy of all the combustible
substances. It is the kinetic energy of
molecules
Radiant energy: Solar radiation is the
manifestation of radiant energy that is
received on earth. Radio waves ,X-
rays ,IR rays contains radiant energy
ELECTRICAL ENERGY: Electrical energy
arises out of the arrangement of
movement of electrons to produce heat,
magnetic field and electromagnetic
radiation.
NUCLEAR ENERGY: Matters can be
changed into energy when larger atoms
are split into smaller ones(atomic fission)
or when smaller ones are combined to
form larger atoms(atomic fusion).

Prior to 2003

• The Electricity Act, 1910


• The Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948
• The Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998

Main features of the Act

1. Generation is being delicensed and captive generation is being


freely permitted. Hydro projects would, however, need
approval of the State Government and clearance from the
Central Electricity Authority which would go into the issues of
dam safety and optimal utilisation of water resources .
2. There would be a Transmission Utility at the Central as well as
State level, which would be a Government company and have
the responsibility of ensuring that the transmission network is
developed in a planned and coordinated manner to meet the
requirements of the sector.

3. There is provision for private transmission
licensees.
4. There would be open access in transmission .
Distribution licensees would be free to undertake
generation and generating companies would be
free to take up distribution licensees.
5. The State Electricity Regulatory Commissions may
permit open access in distribution .

7. For rural and remote areas stand alone systems for generation
and distribution would be permitted.
8. For rural areas decentralized management of distribution
through Panchayats, Users Associations, Cooperatives would
be permitted.
9. Trading as a distinct activity is being recognized with the
safeguard of the Regulatory Commissions being authorized to
fix ceilings on trading margins.
10. Where there is direct commercial relationship between a
consumer and a generating company or a trader the price of
power would not be regulated and only the transmission and
wheeling charges with surcharge would be regulated ..

11. There is provision for a transfer scheme by which a company
Can be created by the State Governments from the State
Electricity Boards. The State Governments have the option of
continuing with the State Electricity Boards which under the
new scheme of things would be a distribution licensee and the
State Transmission Utility which would also be owning
generation assets. The service conditions of the employees
would not be inferior.
12. Provisions relating to theft of electricity have a revenue focus.
