Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Appointment of Consultants) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2023. These regulations amend the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Appointment of Consultants) Regulations, 2008.
  • The amendment introduces a new regulation 6A for engaging consultants for standard/regular assignments and modifies regulation 8A regarding the engagement of staff consultants.

Key Changes

  • New Regulation 6A is inserted: This regulation outlines the process for shortlisting and empaneling consultants for standard/regular assignments. The Central Electricity Commission (CEC), with the Chairperson's approval, will create a panel of consultants based on responses to Expressions of Interest (EOI) advertised on the CERC website, in newspapers, or on the CPPP Portal.
  • The EOI will include the type of consulting assignments, eligibility criteria, and consultant's past experience. At least three consultants must be shortlisted.
  • The panel is valid for one year and may be extended by the Chairperson for another year. Financial bids will be invited from the empanelled consultants, and the selection will be based on the 'Least Cost System'.
  • Regulation 8A is amended: Clause (4) of Regulation 8A is revised to specify the categories, monthly fee ranges, experience, and qualifications for engaging staff consultants. The notification specifies the monthly fee ranges and experience requirements for various roles like Research Associate, Research Officer, Senior Research Officer, and Principal Research Officer.
  • For retired personnel from Government, Public Sector Undertakings, or Autonomous/Statutory Bodies, the notification specifies monthly fee ranges for Technical Officer roles (A, B, C, and D).

Impact Analysis

Stakeholders

  • Government, Public Sector Undertakings, and Autonomous/Statutory Bodies: Retired personnel from these organizations seeking consultancy roles with CERC will be governed by the specified fee ranges for Technical Officer positions.

Suggested Action Items

  • CERC should communicate these changes to all relevant stakeholders to ensure transparency and compliance.
