Hi All,
ABT or Availability Based Tariff in India has brought about a lot of sanity and discipline into the grid. Indian economy growing at 8-9% year on year requires large investments in generation, transmission and distribution and also greater developments in mechanisms like robust energy market and better planning and control of the grid.
How the ABT regime will live upto the changing requirements of the Indian Power Industry has to be seen. ABT has tremendous promise and from being a regulatory framework aimed at bringing discipline into an energy market mechanism in some sense of the term, ABT has come a long way. However what is the role that ABT will play in the next 10-15 years and what are the requirements of the Indian energy and power market that will drive these are interesting and thought provoking or even sensitive issues.
I hope this blog will act as an unique forum for people to share their views. This blog has been configured to be available for all to post with no moderation and i expect all will use their discretion in contributing high quality comments / thoughts / issues in the days and years to come.
