Restructuring edit

For efficient operation & management, UPPCL is further restructured into:

  • Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (DVVNL) - Agra Zone Discom
  • Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (MVVNL) - Lucknow, Ayodhya Zone Discom
  • Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) - Meerut Zone Discom

  • Kanpur Electricity Supply Company (KESCO) - Kanpur City Discom
  • Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) - Lucknow City Discom
  • Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL) - State Transmission Utility

Power procurement edit

UPPCL procures power from state government-owned power generators (Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam & Uttar Pradesh Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited), central government-owned power generators (NTPC Limited & THDC Ltd) and independent power producers - IPP (mostly private power companies) through power purchase agreement for lowest per unit cost of electricity.

Financial condition and line losses edit

The total loss of the UPPCL for the year ended on 31 March 2017 is estimated to be ₹ 8,825 crores.

The causes of such poor financial conditions include:

  • Higher line losses due to ageing over-stressed infrastructure
  • Pilferage of power at large scale
  • Inferior quality of transformers and other equipment
  • Widespread corruption
  • Inefficient use of IT-enabled infrastructure for administrative as well as technical purposes[3]

Discom-wise Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) Loss / Total line losses (in %) for the period 2010-11:

  • Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (DVVNL) - 46.80%
  • Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (MVVNL) - 39.10%
  • Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) - 31.60%
  • Purvanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (PUVVNL) - 29.72%

Power plants SPVs edit

In line of Power Finance Corporation, UPPCL created Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs):

  • To attract private investment in the implementation of New Power Plant Projects in the state of Uttar Pradesh
  • To meet the growing power demand of Uttar Pradesh state
  • To procure power at the lowest possible feasible rates

The role of SPVs are -

  • Preparing feasibility report (including Technology, Size, Coal linkages, Land & Water issues),
  • Clearances (including environment clearances) & land acquisition, etc.

These SPVs are transferred to a developer private company through bidding for the lowest per unit cast of selling electricity to UPPCL.

UPPCL SPVs:

- 4× 1680 MW - 4× 660 MW
