Issues like amendments to the Electricity Act 2003, relating to section 11 invoked by states to curb open access; single buyer model; appraisal of regulators, etc are likely to dominate the discussion between power minister Veerappa Moily and the Forum of Regulators (FOR), a representative body of power regulators, on August 29.
The power ministry has recommended the inclusion of a new section, 89 (6), to carry out annual review of regulatory commissions by a multi-disciplinary body, which would also report to the appropriate governments for necessary action. A new section, 153, would enable state governments to constitute special courts and mobile police stations as may be necessary for speedy trial of offences.
