Madhya Pradesh is in a low level equilibrium of low quality supply, high loss levels, low collection efficiency, and growing subsidy. This outcome persists despite a reform effort, but one which only consolidated bureaucratic control and introduced a tariff shock without tangible gains to the population. The state has bet on electricity supply as a growth industry, increasing capacity five-fold since 2000, but the resultant overcapacity could further limit room to manoeuvre. The electricity sector continues to be perceived as a political risk, a perception shaped by a post-reform loss by the reforming party, the India National Congress, in 2003.

Tenaga listrik merupakan salah satu kebutuhan penting bagi masyarakat dewasa ini. Kebutuhan terhadap tenaga listrik terus meningkat dari waktu ke waktu sesuai dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan sumber daya manusia. Dalam Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 (UUD 1945) penguasaan ketenagalistrikan berada dalam penguasaan negara. Dimana dalam pasal 33 ayat (2) UUD 1945 dinyatakan: "Cabang-cabang produksi yang penting bagi negara dan yang menguasai hidup orang banyak dikuasai oleh negara." Namun sebagian penguasaan negara terhadap energi kelistrikan dianulir oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2009 tentang Ketenagalistrikan, misalnya dalam Pasal 11 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2009 tentang Ketenagalistrikan menyatakan: "Usaha penyediaan tenaga listrik untuk kepentingan umum sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 10 ayat (1) dilaksanakan oleh badan usaha milik negara, badan usaha milik daerah, badan usaha swasta, koperasi, dan swadaya masyarakat yang berusaha di bidang penyediaan tenaga listrik." Namun dengan ditetapkan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi perkara nomor: 111/PUU-XIII/2015, penguasaan negara dan BUMN di bidang ketenagalistrikan kembali dikukuhkan dan dikuatkan dengan putusan tersebut.Electric power is one important requirement for today's society. The need for power is growing from time to time in accordance with developments in science, technology, and human resources. In the Constitution of 1945 (UUD 1945) mastery of electricity in the possession of the state. Where in the Article 33 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution states: "The branches of production that are important to the state and which are controlled by the state." But most of the state's control of the electrical energy annulled by Act Number 30 of 2009 on Electricity, for example in Article 11 paragraph (1) of Law Number 30 Year 2009 on electricity states: "enterprises electricity supply to the public interest as referred to in Article 10 paragraph (1) conducted by state-owned enterprises, local owned enterprises, entities private enterprises, cooperatives, and non-government organizations are endeavoring in the field of electricity supply." But with the Constitutional Court decision determined case number: 111/PUU-XIII/2015, control of the state and state-owned electricity sector re-confirmed and strengthened by the decision.

Abstract The article analyses the European Union (EU) legal approaches that govern security of electricity supply. This legal analysis demonstrates how EU law allocates power and responsibility between the State and the markets in the electricity sector to ensure the uninterrupted availability of affordable electricity. The article argues that the allocation of roles and responsibilities has been similarly structured in respect of different timescales of security of supply in the Clean Energy for All Europeans package. This legal structure relies heavily on the invisible hand of the market, in which context the role of the State is limited to providing a fallback in the event that the market is unable to achieve the objective of security of electricity supply.

Abstract The governance of natural resources is intrinsically linked with the governance of people. However, in practice, social aspects are often viewed as secondary to more technical and pressing issues in the implementation of projects such as dams. The use of water for electricity production in Brazil is a cas d'excellence that exemplifies how the bypassing of socio-environmental safeguards and democratic participation of affected people leads to conflicts. These conflicts delay infrastructure works, such as the Belo Monte Dam, that are found to be crucial for the equilibrium of electricity supply. Recently, social manifestation have become the scapegoat for the sector's crisis. This article discussed the "electricity crisis" from a historical policy analysis perspective. It concludes that the present disregard for social and environmental procedures is a self-inflicted disease that only contributes to the longer-term state of conflicts in the expansion of the electricity sector in Brazil.

PT. Ega Nusantara is one of the medium voltage panel maker companies in Indonesia. Where the majority of products are used by PT. PLN throughout Indonesia. PT. Ega Nusantara seeks to improve its competitiveness by adding new products outside the panel, namely current transformers, voltage transformers, bushings, capacitive deviders, insulators and load break switches. The whole component is a panel supporting component made from epoxy resin. To expand, a study of marketing strategies is needed using SWOT analysis and identifies the company's internal and external environmental factors that influence marketing strategies. Indonesia's current economic growth requires the support of reliable energy supplies including electricity. Electricity needs will increase in line with economic development and population growth. Based on the RUPTL (Electricity Supply Business Plan) PT. PLN, Indonesia have’t get the electricity of all regions could become potential investment in the electricity sector. The electrification ratio up to 2016 was 91.16%. When compared to Singapore it's already 100%, Brunei Darussalam 99.7%, Malaysia 99.0%, Thailand 99.3%, and Vietnam 98.0%. In addition to the condition of the electrification ratio that has not reached 100%, the condition of the electricity supply in the national electricity system also reflects the imbalance between supply and demand, with these conditions, of course, there are still opportunities for investors to participate in electricity supply businesses.

Electricity is a necessary requirement for accelerating the economic development of any country and is considered an important input to improve quality of life. Electricity supply to consumer end is possible by the combine function of power generation, transmission and distribution instantly. One of the most chronic areas of power loss in power system is power distribution feeder. Loss in feeders are identified mainly due to overloaded conductors and transformers, long distance feeder, unbalance load on transformer, low power factor load, uses of energy inefficient load, hooking etc. The distribution losses which are more predominant can be categorized as technical losses and non-technical losses. The main target of the study is to improve the technical and overall efficiency of a distribution feeder. A high loss feeder is selected for efficiency study. Direct method of loss calculation is used to calculate total losses of the feeder and indirect method is used to find the technical losses on the feeder in existing condition. Technical losses of existing feeder and improvement on same distribution system through technical loss reduction options is analyzed by implementing the conductor replacement, rerouting and optimum capacitor placement (OCP) methods using electrical transient analyzer program (ETAP) simulation. Technical efficiency and overall efficiency for the different non-technical loss values are calculated and analyzed. Implementation of results will improve financial health of the power distribution company and provide reliable electricity supply to the consumers. In addition, it provides further inputs to energy planners and managers for a number of remedial measures to loss reduction and improvement of overall efficiency of the power distribution system.
