Lesson
Effective collaboration and coordination, country missions, and sustained communications are crucial to successful project implementation. The TA achieved its objectives through effective collaboration and coordination between ADB and SASEC countries. Country missions provided opportunities for course corrections when ground truthing revealed some additional risks or incorrect assumptions. Hybrid (online and offline) mode of communication allowed the TA activities to be implemented but at reduced cost.

Misperceptions about the new technologies being can adversely affect their adoption. A misperception among postpaid customers that prepaid meters would lead to increased electricity costs resulted in lower-than-expected migration postpaid to prepaid meters. In addition, the full benefits of smart meters are currently not being achieved by either PLN or the business consumers because the smart meters are currently being used only to read meters remotely and at times even this is not possible due to the weak communication infrastructure in some areas.

Lesson
Awareness-raising and capacity building on the safe and efficient use of electricity, and skills training in energy facilities, have several important benefits. In Madhya Pradesh, industrial and high-voltage power consumers cross-subsidize the cost of supply so that agricultural and domestic consumers pay less. To ensure this benefit and make people aware of the safety hazards on the misuse of the high voltage transmission and distribution systems, an extensive public awareness campaign was undertaken. People were also trained in the use of facilities.
