Deregulation at Gencos may Back Retail Competition

News:

The time is opportune to deregulate the power sector. Power is a product for sale. There is a buyer and a seller. What is the problem? NTPC can provide discounts to states that buy more power from it. There will be market play, which is not there now in a regulated power sector.

SNP Insight:

Deregulating the power sector may increase the competition in the power market. This may also promote the last reform of power sector i.e. segregation of wire and supply to boost the retail competition which is likely to be possible only after wholesale competition at  the generating end.
