Lesson
Lessons learned from earlier interventions need to be incorporated during implementation. An earlier PPER for the Madhya Pradesh Power Sector Development Program implemented from 2002 to 2007 had highlighted the need to reduce AT&C losses by improving billing and collection efficiency and discouraging electricity theft by taking legal action against pilferers as a necessary follow-up to ensure financial sustainability.

Lesson
Multitranche financing facility design, when appropriate, can also bring benefits to the rural poor. The MFF enabled augmentation of the transmission and distribution system. The energy supplied to consumers has increased by a factor of 2.3 in 13 years (Table 3). Through initiatives taken by the government, there was increase in supply to rural areas with more low-income households. The consumption in rural areas increased by a factor of 2.1 from 13,891 GWh in FY2012 to 29,180 GWh in FY2019.

Lesson
Flexibility of multitranche financing facility design and process contributes to greater efficiency and harmonization of funds in the sector. As the MFF was implemented concurrently with several other initiatives to improve the state’s electrical distribution systems (para. 12), it was essential for each successive tranche to be specifically designed to fill gaps not covered by the various ongoing schemes to ensure the best use of the ADB loan funds.

Lesson
Overreliance on the private sector for power generation investments when there are structural issues in the distribution sector that may not result in desired outcomes. Financial viability and cost recovery in the sector are important considerations for private sector investments in power generation in the absence of opportunities to sell electricity outside the state.

Lesson
Restoring financial viability of the power sector in Madhya Pradesh requires a holistic approach encompassing technical, institutional, and governance measures. The Madhya Pradesh power sector has been suffering from structural problems such as persistently high level of ATC losses, increasing cost of generation and power purchase, and limited scope of tariff increase as industrial tariffs have already reached the cost of captive power generation.

Lesson
Regulatory and institutional reforms alone are important, but they will not result in improved performance in the absence of accountability and incentives. The SDP was based on the premise that regulatory and institutional reforms will improve the performance of sector entities. Although the regulatory and institutional reforms were implemented as intended, the sector entities except for MPTransco showed no significant improvement in performance.
