Description

The company is involved in electricity sub-transmission distribution and retail supply in the State of Gujarat State. Their mandate is to establish and use a power system network and to buy and sell electrical energy, and to collect information with an eye towards further system improvements.

The Gujarat Electricity Industry (Re-Organization & Regulation) Act 2003 paved the way for comprehensive reform and restructuring of the State Electricity Board with an aim to restructure the Electricity Industry in a manner that will ensure the long term viability and sustainability of the power sector in the state. As a part of the reform process, the GEB was disaggregated into several autonomous entities.PGVCL is undertaken by government of Gujarat

The Electricity Act 2003 introduced competition by way of open access in the transmission and distribution of electricity. The Act also provided for reorganization of the Electricity Boards through appropriate transfer schemes being formulated by the state governments. The Government of Gujarat reorganized the GEB functionally into a Generation Company, a Transmission Company and four Distribution Companies. Thereby Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited became functional on 1 April 2005.

gollark: What is this ”project” of which you speak?
gollark: I just block all ads everywhere unless they follow some standards (no persistent tracking, static images only, clearly delineated ads, small out of the way ones), since it's basically the only thing I can do to influence advertisers.
gollark: Practically, assuming you have remotely user-controllable computers and stuff, and you can't meddle with the network, you probably can't do much to stop people from doing necromancy outside of saying "WARNING: bargaining with mysterious entities on the extranet is a Bad Idea™".
gollark: I was referring to filtering "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon".
gollark: *Can* they actually filter that (EDIT: referring to "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon") in practice, given the whole "end to end encryption" thing, apart from somehow not letting those on the network?
