'''Maharashtra State Electricity Board''' (or '''MSEB''') ( [[Marathi language|Marathi]]:महाराष्ट्र राज्य विद्युत मंडळ) is a [[Government of Maharashtra|state government electricity regulation board]] operating within the state of [[Maharashtra]] in [[India]]. The MSEB was formed on 20 June 1960 under Section 5 of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948. In 1998 it was the second largest electricity generating utility in India after [[National Thermal Power Corporation]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Banana Farm Chinawal 13.jpg|thumb|right|MSEB power line in farms at [[Chinawal]] village in [[Jalgaon district]]]]<br />
The company's predecessor was the Bombay Electricity Board which was formed on 6 November 1954 and operated up to 31 March 1957 when it was renamed to Maharashtra State Electricity Board which operated until 19 June 1960.<br />
The result of a collaboration between the MSEB and [[Enron]] was the Ratnagiri power plant.<br />
<br />
===Restructuring===<br />
In accordance with Electricity Act 2003 of the Government of India,<ref>(Maharashtra State Govt.vide G.R.No. ELA-1003/P.K.8588/Bhag-2/Urja-5 Dated 24-01-2005)</ref> the Maharashtra State Electricity Board was restructured into 4 companies in 2005. These companies were registered with Company Registrar in Mumbai on 31 May 2005 as follows:<br />
*MSEB Holding Company Limited.<br />
*[[Maharashtra State Power Generation Company]] Limited, Mahanirmiti or Mahagenco, [[MSPGCL]].<br />
*[[Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company]] Limited, Mahapareshan or Mahatransco, [[MSETCL]].<br />
*[[MSEDCL|Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company]] Limited, [[Mahavitaran]] or [[Mahadiscom]], [[MSEDCL]].<br />
<br />
[[MSEDCL|Mahavitaran−MSEDCL]] is responsible for distribution of electricity throughout the state by buying power from either [[MSPGCL|Mahanirmiti−MSPGCL]] power plants, or from other state electricity boards and private sector power generation companies.<br />
<br />
The [[holding company]] entity, MSEB Holding Company Limited, holds all the stake in the other three companies. All these 3 companies are engineers dominated.<br />
<br />
==Capacity and non-renewable resources==<br />
Maharashtra constitutes 13% of the total installed [[electricity generation]] capacity in India, which is mainly produced from [[non-renewable resource]]s, using [[fossil fuel]]s such as [[coal]] and [[natural gas]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://greencleanguide.com/2012/11/27/power-supply-position-of-the-state-of-maharashtra/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140331205356/http://greencleanguide.com/2012/11/27/power-supply-position-of-the-state-of-maharashtra/ | archivedate = 31 March 2014 | title = Power demand-supply position of the state of Maharashtra | date = 27 November 2012 | work = Green Clean Guide | publisher = Green Clean Guide}}</ref><br />
