Deregulation: A new concept in Electricity Market

Dr. Subhojit Dawn, Assistant Professor, EE

In the very first era of 1970s, the concept of deregulation has built with the track of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), which

created an arrangement for independent power producers.

Structure of Regulated Industry

In the regulated structure of the electrical industries, all energy delivering procedures (including pricing) are directed by a regulatory body

(mainly government body) and only the local utility is

able to sell the power directly to the customers. The utili-

ty set the electricity prices with considering the associated

transportation, distribution and ancillary costs with those

commodities. Consumers therefore have no choice in

choosing their energy provider.

A typical structure of a regulated industry is shown in

Fig. 1. In this power environment, the money flow is uni-

directional, i.e. from the customer to the electric compa-

ny. Generation, Transmission & Distribution (T&D) are

operated by a single company under the regulated market

structure. The information flow exists only between the

generators and the transmission systems. So, customers

don’t know any information about the internal matter of the generation companies (including energy prices). There is a lack of transparency in

this structure of the power market.

Structure of Deregulated Industry

Deregulation in power industry is the restructuring of

rules and economic incentives that governments set up to

control and drive the electric power industry. Now a day,

deregulation has taken place in many countries through-

out the world. It has permitted competitive energy suppli-

ers to come into the markets and offer their energy sup-

ply products to consumers. Fig. 2 displays the typical

structure of a deregulated industry with links of energy,

information and money flow among different market

players.

A system operator is appointed for the whole system and

it is entrusted with the obligation for keeping the system

in balance, i.e. to warrant that the production and imports

continuously match the consumption and exports. This system operator is known as Independent System Operator (ISO). The main purpose of

ISO is to control the total electricity market for maintaining the system economy, stability and power quality. The ISO has the rights to give re-

wards or imposes penalties to any market entities for their good and bad works respectively.

In terms of energy flow, there are no changes between the regulated and deregulated industries (as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). The customer does

its transactions through a retailer or transacts directly with a generating company, depending on the type of market model (pool, bilateral or hy-

brid model). Different power sellers will provide their product to their customers (via retailers) over a common set of T&D channels, which is op-

erated by the ISO. The generators, T&D and retailers communicate to the ISO for any types of power transactions. On the other side, customer

talks with the retailer for demanding their required power.

The retailer contacts the generating company and purchases the power from it and makes it transferred to its customer’s place via regulated T&D

lines. The ISO is the one responsible for keeping track of various transactions taking place between various entities. In the regulated environment,

the electricity bill consisted of a single amount to be paid towards the generation, transmission and all other costs. But, in the restructured envi-

ronment, the electricity price gets separated into the following: (i) Price of electrical energy, (ii) Price of energy delivery (wheeling charges) and

(iii) Price of other services (frequency regulation and voltage control) which are charged independently.

Several market players are present in the deregulated power system for doing their operation towards benefitted customers. The different entities

in deregulated market are as follows– (i) GENCOs (generating companies), (ii) TRANSCOs (transmission companies), (iii) DISCOs (distribution

companies), (iv) RESCOs (retail energy service companies or retailers), (v) ISO and (vi) Customers.

It is my immense pleasure to write in the Department Newsletter and I feel privileged to be a part of the Institution. I was a student of the Electrical Engineering Department of 2017 pass out batch. The four years of the college life would remain as memories to me which I will cherish until my end. Our department has been the backbone for this. The faculty and staff nurtured and guided us in the right path and always taught us the true meaning of education. Not only studies they always encouraged us into various co-curricular activities be it Cultural activities or Sports. The Department has provided us with the best facilities so as to make the monotonous and conventional study process into an interesting one with smart classes and the use of various technologies. Innovations by the students in various fields was always encouraged by the faculty and they would also impart and share their knowledge to make it more technologically advanced. Thus I would like to conclude by saying that the four years of my college life has taught me a lot and I will always carry these

beautiful memories for the rest of my life.
