For the year 2019-20, the parliamentary panel on energy has decided to look into delays in execution and completion of power projects by power sector companies. It will also “review” power tariff policy in the context of the “need for uniformity in tariff structure across the country”.
The parliamentary standing committee on energy, reconstituted last month, will also look into the performance of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana, the PM Saubhagya scheme and the “role and significance of UDAY (Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana) in financial turnaround of discoms”.
It will evaluate the “role of regulators in the electricity sector”, functioning of POSOCO (Power System Operation Corporation Limited) in grid management and the carbon footprint of power generation in India.
