Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited
(PGCIL) till 2 January 2017. It was formed in March 2010 to handle the
power management functions of PGCIL. It is responsible to ensure the
integrated operation of the Grid in a reliable,efficient and secure
manner. It consists of 5 Regional Load Despatch Centres and a National
Load Despatch Centre (NLDC). The subsidiary was eventually made a
separate company, leaving the parent firm with only the task of setting
up transmission links. The load despatch functions, earlier handled by
PGCIL, will now come up to POSOCO. Now POSOCO is fully govt. Company because on 3 January 2017 it was separated from powergrid.
Central Government through Ministry of Power in exercise of the power
conferred by sub-section (3) of Sect 26 and sub-section (2) of Section
27 of the Electricity Act, 2003, by notification dt. 27 September 2010
in the Gazette of India notified that the Power System Operation Corporation Ltd (POSOCO),
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Power Grid Corporation of India
Limited (a Government Company) shall operate National Load Despatch
Centre and the five Regional Load Despatch Centers, with effect from 1
October 2010.
The subsidiary was set up on the recommendations of a government
committee headed by G.B. Pradhan, additional secretary in the Union
ministry of power. To make load despatch centres financially
self-reliant and autonomous, the committee recommended independent and
sustainable revenue streams. The move to separate the two functions is
in keeping with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003, which seeks
to separate commercial interests from load management functions. The
Pradhan committee had recommended setting up a separate representative
board structure overseeing the functions of the five regional load
despatch centres (RLDCs) run by PGCIL—the northern, eastern,
north-eastern, western and southern regions at that time.(Information courtesy wikipedia)
