RAPDRP (Restructured Accelerated Power Development & Reforms Programme) - Amandeep, EE11B002

RAPDRP was approved as a central sector scheme during the 11th Five Year Plan to reduce losses and establish reliable automated systems to collect accurate baseline data in urban areas with populations over 30,000. The project has two parts: part A focuses on establishing baseline data and IT applications for energy accounting and consumer service centers, while part B focuses on distribution strengthening projects. PFC is the nodal agency responsible for implementing RAPDRP under Ministry of Power guidance. Utilities must prepare project proposals and submit them to PFC for validation and approval by Ministry of Power.

RAPDRP(Restructured Accelerated Power Development & Reforms Programme)

-Amandeep,EE11B002
RAPDRP was approved as Central Sector Scheme during the XI Five Year Plan with revised
terms and conditions.The focus of the programme is to reduce losses and to establish
reliable and automated systems for sustained collection of accurate base line data.The
coverage area of the project is the urban areas- towns and cities with a population more
than 30k.Project is divided in two parts i.e. part A and part B.Part A focuses on the
establishment of baseline data and IT applications for energy accounting and IT based
consumer service centers.Part B focuses on regular distribution strengthening projects.PFC
is the nodal agency for operationalization and implementation of APDRP Programme under
the guidance of MoP.Its work is to coordinate with main stakeholders involved such as MoP
and APDRP etc.It is expected to take the initiative for timely completion of projects and thus
assist the utilities in achieving loss reduction targets and other parameters of the scheme.
Utilities have to prepare DPRs for each project and while forwarding the DPRs to the nodal
agency indicate the order of priority of the projects.DPRs first get duly vetted by the IT
consultant so appointed or else by the utility itself and then they are submitted to PFC,the
nodal agency.After getting validated they are submitted to the APDRP.
SEBs/State utilities implement projects by appointing implementing agency through bidding
only from panel of IT implementing agencies.A Quadripartite agreement will be entered into
between SEBs,GoI,PFC to implement the RAPDRP.Signing of Agreement is a prerequisite for
release of funds under the RAPDRP.The MoP monitors the implementation of the precedent
conditions agreed to in the Agreement before releasing funds.Initially 100% funds for the
part A of the project is provided in the form of a loan form the GoI and 25% in the case of
part B.If distribution utilities achieve the target of 15% AT&C loss on a sustained basis for a
period of 5 years in the project area within the time schedule then upto 50% loan against
part B is converted into grant.Part B of the project is started after 3-6 months of the
completion of the part A.In this period arrangements of ring fencing of the project area is
done and verification of the starting figure of AT&C losses of project area is also done.MoP
appoints third party independent agencies for verification of base figure of AT&C loss of
project area,estimation of base line data system(i.e. part A projects),yearly AT&C loss figures
of project areas and State Power utilities.There are various incentive schemes also for utility
staff for bringing the AT&C loss levels below 15%.State governments and Discoms will work
with concerned regulator to ensure that a part of the financial benefits arising out of the
AT&C loss reduction are also passed on to the consumer of the project area.
