Facts for Prelims
Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme
News: RDSS has been launched for DISCOMs.
What is the scheme about?
• RDSS is a reform-based and result-linked scheme to improve the financial sustainability and operational efficiencies of DISCOMs. This is done by financial assistance for the modernization of distribution infrastructure e.g., Smart Prepaid Meters.
• Ministry of Power will be the nodal agency and all state owned DISCOMS will be eligible.
• Time – 2021-22 to 2025-26
• It merges other existing power sector reforms schemes – Integrated Power Development Scheme, DDU Gram Jyoti Yojana, and Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA)
What are the goals?
• Reduce AT&C loss by 12-15%. AT & C loss is nothing but the sum total of technical and commercial losses and shortage due to non-realization of billed amount.
• Reduce financial deficit (average cost of supply-average revenue realized) of DISCOMs to Zero.
• Compulsory installation of smart meters (target of installing 250 million smart meters by 2025)
