3.4 Method of determination of Power Purchase Cost
3.5 Owing to any variation in the actual loss level, the expenses towards power purchase is
proposed to be shared equally between the distribution licensee and the consumer, as
the excessive loss which is a composite of technical & commercial components is not
only due to the licensee’s efficiency, in fact an active role of consumers is also required
for reduction in the commercial component of the loss.
3.5.1 The method of calculation of power purchase cost for excessive loss over and above
the normative loss is proposed to be as below:
3.5.2 The quantum of power purchase and the costs to be allowed or disallowed should be
based on actual quantum of power purchase which is a real authentic and verifiable item
and not a derivative or notional item. The quantum of sale comprises of both Metered
sales and Un-metered sales. The un-metered sales consist of sale to agricultural pumps
& BPL Domestic consumer and such quantum is an estimate only. Therefore, there is
an overlapping between un-metered sale and losses and it is always difficult to
determine correctly the percentage of un-metered sale and percentage of losses. Thus,
the sales & losses to a certain extent are inter-changeable because of estimation of un-
metered sale. The sales as may not therefore be the correct basis for deciding the rate
of Power Purchase Cost of Discom.
3.5.3 Accordingly, so long as the quantum of actual power purchase is more than the quantum
of power purchase approved, no adjustments in the quantum of power purchase need to
be carried. Without prejudice to the above, even if any adjustment is to be carried out
ignoring the mixing up of un-metered sales and losses, the variation should be solely
derived from actual quantum of power purchase and not from any other derivative
numbers. The vital issues and positions are now considered more elaborately, as below:-
The actual quantum of power purchase is to be adjusted for three elements namely:
Sales
Loss Level allowed;
Loss level not allowed.
3.5.4 In accordance with the above, loss level in excess of normative loss level ought not to
be allowed. This means energy equivalent to excessive loss level should be reduced
from actual power purchase and the balance quantum should be allowed.
(a) If we consider quantum of power purchase derived from the sale allowed (Both are
derivative quantities, however actual power purchase quantum is a real number) by
adopting a reverse calculation, it will give cumulative and double effect. The double
effect is elaborated as below:-
True-up Petition of MP Discoms for FY 2016-17
MPPMCL / MPPoKVVCL/MPMKVVCL/MPPaKVVCL P a g e | 37
(b) The figure of energy sales – that is metered plus estimated unmetered sales- is in itself,
a derived quantity arising out of estimation of unmetered sales. To make it more
illustrative, we can consider all the quantities involved together in a balance equation,
as follows:
Energy purchased (actual) and served = Losses (estimated) + Energy sales
(estimated)
(c) It is very clear from the above equality, that, the only reasonably fixed and concrete
quantity is the total energy purchased (and served) and the other two quantities
appearing on the R.H.S. are complementary to each other- that is reducing one quantity
results in an equal increase in the other to maintain the balance of the equation. That is,
one of these quantities, if assumed to be known with a certain degree of certainty, can
be used to derive the other. However, this is not the case. Under the present scenario,
precise and independent measurement of both the quantities is not possible. Hence,
either one of them has to be considered as a derived quantity based on the value of the
other, and neither should be used as a reliable decision variable from the point of view
of cost determination. The result of such use can be anomalous and unfair either to the
consumers or the licensee.
(d) In the context of the explanation given above, we can consider the following two
equations to demonstrate the anomaly involved in the methodology for determination
of allowed quantum and hence the cost of power purchase, as follows:
We define,
Allowed sale = Esale
Energy allowed (Normative quantum of energy) = Enorm
Actual Energy purchase = Eact
Normative loss level (in pu) = Lnorm
Actual loss level (in pu) = Lact
It is assumed, that, the actual loss level is known with a reasonable accuracy and the
allowed sale is based on reasonable estimates and parameters of consumption.
From the definitions
Esale = Enorm *(1 - Lnorm), where Lnorm is expressed in per unit ………(1)
Also,
Esale = Eact *(1 - Lact) ………....(2)
Therefore, from (1) and (2)
Eact*(1- Lact) = Enorm* (1- Lnorm)
True-up Petition of MP Discoms for FY 2016-17
MPPMCL / MPPoKVVCL/MPMKVVCL/MPPaKVVCL P a g e | 38
=>> Enorm = {Eact * (1-Lact)} / {(1-Lnorm)}
=>> Energy disallowed = Eact – Enorm
= Eact- [{Eact * (1-Lact)} / {(1- Lnorm)}]
= Eact*[1-{(1- Lact) / (1-Lnorm)}]
= Eact *[Lact-Lnorm) / (1-Lnorm)]
Finally,
Energy Disallowed = Eact*(Excess losses over normative loss level) / (1- Lnorm)
3.5.5 It is very clear from the above expression, that, working out the normative quantum of
power purchase by applying the normative loss level constraint on the allowed sales,
results in a twofold penalty – one due to the excess of loss level over the prescribed
normative loss level, and another “compounding effect” due to the factor “(1-Lnorm)”,
which is less than 1, in the denominator. The compounding effect is due to the
assumption of limiting the sales and thus assuming equivalent enhancement in losses,
which is actually a complementary quantity derived out of the allowed sales a more or
less assumed quantity (i.e. this becomes a circular feedback or merry-go-round type of
effect). In the final analysis, the allowed sale is not an independent and a precisely
determined quantity and, as such, it should not be used to determine the allowed costs.
3.5.6 In the last expression for disallowed quantum of power purchase, a fair and more even-
handed approach would be to simply disallow the quantum of energy corresponding to
the excess of loss level over the prescribed normative loss level. In algebraic terms,
following the notations indicated earlier, the expression can be written as
Energy Disallowed = Eact *(Excess losses over normative loss level)
= Eact *(Lact–Lnorm),
where loss levels are expressed in per unit values (percentage values/100)
3.6 Hon’ble Tribunal of electricity in Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited
vs Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (Appeal No. 9 of 2008) by Order
dated 9.5.2008 has laid down as under:-
“36. …………….While arriving at the quantum of power purchase to be allowed for
revenue requirement, KERC should first reduce the disallowed T&D losses from the
quantum of power purchase entered in the audited accounts of KPTCL. From the figure
so arrived, the Commission has to reduce the allowed T&D losses which will give the
quantum of power available for sale yielding revenue. Moreover, KERC has to realize
that the audited sale quantum includes metered sale and unmetered sale which also
includes agricultural pumping sets and, therefore, there is an overlapping between the
unmetered sale and loss. In this view of the matter, we are of the opinion that
calculations should be carried out on the basis of the methodology given by KPTCL in
its Memo of Appeal at para ‘W’. We order accordingly.”

3.7 The variation in power purchase in quantum to be considered should begin with and
based on actual quantum of power purchase which is a real item and not a derivative or
notional item. The fallacy in the approach is discussed as under:-
Example:
If Licensee has procured 100 units of electricity, then a sale of 64.5 units would be
registered owing to a normative loss of 34.5%. However the licensee has actually sold
only 60 units, which would mean that the actual loss levels are at 40%, an excess loss
of 5.5% needs to be disallowed.
Table 8: Assumptions
Actual power purchase 100 units
Actual Sales 60 units
Normative loss 34.5%
Actual loss 40% (i.e. [100-60]/100)
Excess loss incurred 5.5% (i.e. 40%-34.5%)
From the aforementioned information, the power purchase and loss levels that need to
be allowed by the Hon’ble Commission can be calculated in two ways. They are:
Existing methodology:
In this methodology, the actual sales are grossed up with the normative losses to
calculate the actual power purchases. The difference between the actual power
purchases and the calculated power purchases will then be disallowed accordingly. The
calculations are shown as under:
Table 9: Calculation of disallowed units as per existing methodology
Estimated power purchase
= Sales / (1-normative loss)
= 60 units / (1-34.5%)
= 91.6 units
Total disallowed units
= Actual power purchase – Estimated power purchase
= 100 units – 91.6 units
= 8.4 units (1)
Using this methodology, total units that are to be disallowed are calculated to be 8.4
units.
3.8 The petitioners are submitting the energy balance and power purchase cost that will be
approved if the existing methodology is adopted by Commission towards the true up
exercise for FY 2016-17.

3.9 To avoid such circumstance the following methodology is being proposed by the
Petitioners for allowing the power purchase cost on normative basis.
In the above methodology for estimating the power purchase quantum, only the energy
sale to consumer has been considered while the quantum of energy sale to other
Discoms and UI energy at Discom periphery have not been factored. Further, the
Petitioners cannot have any material control on the losses outside their periphery i.e.
M.P. Transco and PGCIL losses as they are external to their periphery and involve
complex interconnected grid. Therefore it will be appropriate to determine average per
unit rate based on the net actual energy input at Discom periphery for sale to retail
consumers only, which is a real and authentic item and may not change even after the
closure of financial year. This would also take into account the sale and purchase of
True-up Petition of MP Discoms for FY 2016-17
MPPMCL / MPPoKVVCL/MPMKVVCL/MPPaKVVCL P a g e | 41
electricity between the Discom including UI within the State and also banking of power
to other States. It is to be noted that calculation of average per unit rate should not be
based on purchase at ex-bus, which may be revised by way of reconciliation of
regional/State Energy Accounts even after the closure of the financial year for which
true-up has already been carried out.
3.10 Further the petitioners state that the Hon’ble Commission’s methodology for
calculation of energy balance calculation doesn’t account for the UI sales. This results
in erroneous calculation of energy balance and the UI quantum of each Discom is left
unattended. This anomaly may kindly be considered by Hon’ble Commission. The
computation of energy balance considering the UI sales is submitted by petitioners for
Hon’ble Commission’s perusal.

Proposed methodology:
3.11 In this methodology, the licensee adopts the Hon’ble Aptel’s judgement, which states
that the actual power purchases are to be considered for computation of excess losses.
Illustrative calculations are shown below:
Table 13: Calculation of disallowed units as per proposed methodology
Actual power purchase = 100 units
Excess loss% as per Table 26 = 5.5%
Excess loss incurred = 5.5 units (i.e. 100 units x 5.5%)
True-up Petition of MP Discoms for FY 2016-17
MPPMCL / MPPoKVVCL/MPMKVVCL/MPPaKVVCL P a g e | 42
Allowable power purchases
= Actual power purchase – Excess loss incurred
= 100 units – 5.5 units
= 94.5 units
Total disallowed units = 100 units – 94.5 units
= 5.5 units (2)
It can be observed from Table 9: Calculation of disallowed units as per existing
methodology and Table 13: Calculation of disallowed units as per proposed
methodology that there is a difference of 2.9 units (i.e. 8.4 units – 5.5 units) in the total
disallowed losses. As a result, the licensee has to bear the cost of additional
disallowance of 2.9 units. Therefore quantum of power purchase should be disallowed
by only 5.5 units by adopting the top down approach that starts with power purchases
on which losses are calculated.
3.12 To sum up the bottom to top methodology results in a compounded effect which
unfairly enhances the amount of disallowed costs. It may be further highlighted, that,
the terms and phrases like “normative quantum” or “allowed or disallowed quantum”
of energy are erroneous and inappropriate and they have been used only to illustrate the
logic and reasoning involved. The only concrete terms are total energy purchased, the
total cost of power procurement, disallowed costs and allowed costs. Hence, the
Hon’ble Commission should consider the total quantum of power procured as the given
quantity and deal only in terms of allowed and disallowed costs corresponding to excess
of loss level over the normative loss level. The terms “allowed” or “disallowed
quantum” of energy may be altogether dispensed with and the entire actual quantum of
energy purchased should be accepted and recognized- a quantity which is indisputable
and which cannot and should not be altered retrospectively without any adequate
reference to the various factors and situations existing at the time.
3.13 In light of the above discussions, the loss levels mentioned pertain only to the losses
occurring within the Discoms’ periphery. However, MPERC may not disallow losses
occurring outside the Discom periphery (i.e. the inter-state and intra-state transmission
losses) on the basis of the normative quantum of energy required at the Discoms’
periphery. In principle, this approach requires proper attention to the factors and
mechanisms involved. The Discoms cannot have any material control over the losses
occurring outside their periphery- not the least because they are external to its
boundaries and involving a complex interconnected grid with numerous points,
directions and routes for entry and exit of power, but also because they actually are
“apportioned losses”, or so to say, “deemed losses” based on a working rule or formula
adopted for State-wise and Discom-wise segregation of the pooled energy losses
occurring in the inter-regional/state and intra-state transmission systems. As a matter of
a significant detail, the inter-region/state transmission losses are themselves
apportioned to a particular state from the energy appearing as pooled transmission
losses under the inter-region/state energy accounting mechanism (i.e. the so called
balancing and settlement mechanism). Thus, these losses are, so to say “re-apportioned”
and allocated to the Discoms operating in a particular state- that is energy “apportioned”
True-up Petition of MP Discoms for FY 2016-17
MPPMCL / MPPoKVVCL/MPMKVVCL/MPPaKVVCL P a g e | 43
out of energy already “apportioned”- that is, it involves cascaded apportioning.
Similarly, the intra-state transmission losses have to be apportioned to the Discoms
according to some working rule- rather than a precise measurement. In this sense, the
transmission losses, with reference to a particular Discom, are entirely a notional
quantity – with one of its component being a “doubly notional” quantity- rather than a
real measured variable. Therefore, it can be stated firmly and with proper reasoning,
that the Hon’ble Commission may not tamper with and modify the quantum of energy
loss apportioned to the licensee which is traditionally termed and indicated as the losses
occurring in the inter/intra state transmission systems.
3.14 Proposed methodology for calculating power purchase cost for disallowed units:
3.15 As per the existing methodology, the Hon’ble Commission allows an average power
purchase cost that includes both fixed cost as well as variable cost for the power
purchase quantum at ex-bus (which excludes UI, inter-Discom, inter-State sales and
Banking). Further, the Petitioners cannot have any material control on the losses outside
their periphery i.e. M.P. Transco and PGCIL losses as they are external to their
periphery and involve complex interconnected grid. Therefore it will be appropriate to
determine average per unit rate based on the net actual energy input at Discom periphery
for sale to retail consumers only, which is a real and authentic item and may not change
even after the closure of financial year. This would also take into account the sale and
purchase of electricity between the Discom including UI within the State and also
banking of power to other States. It is to be noted that calculation of average per unit
rate should not be based on purchase at ex-bus, which may be revised by way of
reconciliation of regional/State Energy Accounts even after the closure of the financial
year for which true-up has already been carried out.
3.16 The Hon’ble Commission is required to determine the cost of power purchase to be
adjusted (disallowed) in the revenue requirement of the Petitioners for the quantum of
power purchase disallowed by applying the basic principle that all such costs and
expenses on average basis, which the appellant may have avoided if the quantum of
power purchase disallowed has not been purchased. The fixed charges such as capacity
charges and other related commitment charges are payable to the generating companies
for long term and medium term contracted capacity, irrespective of actual drawal of
electricity. In addition the transmission and related charges payable to CTU, STU and
Load Despatch Centre, reimbursement of taxes, duties and other levies to generating
companies and transmission companies and similar such cost and expenses ought not
to be disallowed as they cannot be avoided by reducing the power purchase. The
variable charge (energy charge) that could have been saved on such purchase can only
be disallowed for adjustment in ARR.
3.17 To avoid such complex method, it would be appropriate to disallow the % of variable
cost of power purchase which is more than the % of normative loss level and thus
balance cost of power purchase ought to be allowed, which is elaborated as per the
calculation as given below.

14.5 The petitioners hereby submit that the total revenue gap works out to be Rs 2,664.07
Cr, Rs 2,817.80 Cr, Rs 1,765.67 Cr and Rs 7,247.55 Cr for East Discom, Central
Discom, West Discom and MP State respectively. This gap may be included in the
ARRs of subsequent years or as the Hon’ble commission may deem fit for recovery of
the same.
14.6 The licensees would like to refer here Clause 5.3 (h) 2) of the National Electricity Policy
dated 6th January 2006 which states that “In cases where operations have been much
below the norms for many previous years the initial starting point in determining the
revenue requirement and the improvement trajectories should be recognized at
“relaxed” levels and not the “desired” levels.” In light of the above para, the licensee
pleads the Hon’ble Commission to consider relaxed norms for the True-up of ARR for
the period FY 2016-17. The Licensee wishes to submit to the Hon’ble Commission that
it had been acting as an agent of Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board (MPSEB) till
31st May 2005 and it has been over 9 years since the licensee has been operating
independently. Taking this into consideration the licensee pleads to the Hon’ble
Commission to allow it to operate at levels that can be feasible for the operation of the
Discom.
