About Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission

The Odisha Electricity Reform Act, 1995 (Odisha Act 2 of 1996), in short OER Act, 1995 was enacted for the purpose of restructuring the electricity industry, for rationalization of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Supply of Electricity, for opening avenues for participation of private sector entrepreneurs and for establishment of a Regulatory Commission for the State, independent of the state government. OER Act, 1995 is the first of its kind in the country. The Electricity Act, 2003 has been modeled mostly on the provisions of the OER Act, 1995.

An important component of power sector reform is establishment of an independent autonomous Regulator, the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission for achievement of objectives enshrined in the OER Act, 1995. It became functional on 01.8.1996 with the joining of its three members, as the pioneer electricity regulators of the country.

The property, interest in property, rights and liabilities belonging to the erstwhile Odisha State Electricity Board (OSEB) were vested in the State Government as on 1.4.1996. All loans, subventions and obligations of the Board towards the State stood extinguished. The State Government classified the assets, liabilities and proceedings acquired by the State as well as the assets, liabilities and proceedings relating to the undertakings owned by the State Government to (a) Generation Undertaking (b) Transmission Undertaking and those not classified within (a) & (b) to residual assets. The State Government was empowered to vest the Undertakings in GRIDCO & OHPC which the State executed only after upvaluation of assets on the same day and restructured the Balance Sheet of GRIDCO and OHPC.
