Developments in the Electricity Board in KSEB

Q: Hi, I heard that there is going to be a development in the KSEB. Someone told me that there is going to be a drastic change in the management of KSEB. Is it true? Can you give me more details about this.

Out of the 259 MW capacity of private developers, 40 MW is generated from hydro stations. Government has informed the court that its approval is required for setting up hydroelectric plants by private individuals or companies. Ownership of river waters and the control over water resources is vested with the state government, in my opinion.

Exactly, this is when the company got its name no?The new company by the name of `Kerala State Electricity Board Limited` was incorporated and the same was registered under the Companies Act, 1956 on 14-01-2011. Now, KSEB generates 2,230 MW of the 2,848 MW installed generation capacity of Kerala.

yeah..in that affidavit that was presented, I think that the contention of the petitioner that even a private body corporate under State, Central or Provincial Act can be transferred with control over generating stations, transmitting stations, and distribution of electricity of electricity by the state government under a transfer of scheme is unfounded as the government had decided to re-vest the assets and liabilities of the erstwhile KSEB into a fully-owned government company.

Government has informed through the affidavit that the allegation is baseless as it has been decided to vest all the assets of KSEB on the government-owned company formed as per the 2003 law.

I think that over 70 per cent of power generated in the state is from hydroelectric projects. I came to know that there is petition given by a person to seek a directive preventing transfer of rights, liabilities, and properties of KSEB to the government company that was formed as per a central law, Electricity Act of 2003.

I think that the Kerala State Electrictiy Board (KSEB) has plans to convert itself from a government sector company to a private company. I think there will be a privatization of electricity. This will be especially in hydroelectric projects and all.
