This paper summarizes the findings of a
study in rural load segregation for lighting rural India.
The study focused on (i) analyzing differences in approach
to rural feeder segregation across states, (ii) assessing
the financial viability of the schemes, (iii) evaluating
socio economic benefits in rural areas through primary
survey, and (iv) developing a guidance note for a national
action plan on rural load segregation. Traditionally, power
supply to agriculture in India has been heavily subsidized
since irrigated agriculture was at the heart of the Green
Revolution. The magnitude of the power subsidy for the
agricultural sector in some states is twice the budgetary
annual spending on health or rural development. It is in
this context that several states in India have undertaken
programs of rural feeder segregation which involve
separation of rural non-agricultural and agricultural
consumers by connecting them to separate feeders, thereby
physically separating paid and nominally-paid loads. The two
key findings of the study are (i) a one size fits all
approach will not work across states given wide variety in
local context and challenges, and (ii) all feeder
segregation proposals should be evaluated as part of a
larger strategic rural power supply improvement program. |
