In pursuance of a reform exercise, erstwhile UPSEB was unbundled under the first reforms transfer scheme dated 14th January 2000, into three separate entities: Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) – vested with the function of Transmission and Distribution within the State; Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (UPRVUNL) – vested with the function of Thermal Generation within the State; and Uttar Pradesh Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (UPJVNL) – vested with the function of Hydro Generation within the State. Through another Transfer Scheme dated 15th January, 2000, assets, liabilities and personnel of Kanpur Electricity Supply Authority (KESA) under UPSEB were transferred to Kanpur Electricity Supply Company (KESCO), a company registered under the Companies Act, 1956. Need for further unbundling of UPPCL (responsible for both Transmission and Distribution functions) along functional lines was again felt after the enactment of the Electricity Act 2003, and four new distribution companies (“Discoms”) were created vide Uttar Pradesh Transfer of Distribution Undertaking Scheme 2003 namely DVVNL, MVVNL, PVVNL and PuVVNL.
