Governance of Rural Electricity Systems in India
Haribandhu Panda
Governance of Rural Electricity Systems in India examines the challenges facing rural electricity systems in India, including limited household access to electricity, inadequate service quality and quantity, and significant technical and commercial losses that affect financial viability.
The book discusses the impact of electricity sector reforms initiated in the early 1990s and their limited success in improving services for rural customers despite increased electricity tariffs. Drawing on experiences from India and other parts of the world, it presents directions for developing rural electricity systems, considering development concerns, regulatory and policy issues, technology options, tariffs and governance mechanisms.
The book is intended for policymakers, regulators, rural electricity service providers, financial institutions, academicians, students and civil society organisations.
