� Eligibility (additional)

− Power procurement through power exchange shall be permissible only on week ahead basis or higher denomination of days and not on day-ahead basis.

− Consumers who are connected at 33 kV or below GSS or connected on common feeder irrespective of their voltage of supply, shall be allowed open access, subject to the condition that they agree to rostering restrictions including power cut imposed by utility on the feeders serving them.

− No power cut shall be imposed by the utility on Open Access Consumers who are on independent feeders connected to 132 kV or above Grid Sub-station. Provided that in case power is drawn from utility under this situation, the utility may disconnect the feeder and shall also bill the energy drawn at double the tariff applicable to that consumer category.

� Charges for Open Access

− Transmission and Wheeling charges:

y The transmission and wheeling charges shall be payable on the basis of total contracted capacity or open access capacity utilized, whichever is higher.

y The excess capacity utilized up to 5% of capacity allocation occurring for two time blocks of 15 minutes each during a month will be ignored.

y However, the OA Consumer shall be required to pay an extra charge for the entire month equal to the same percentage of the fixed and energy charges by which percentage the excess demand has actually been caused if the number of such instances is more than two time blocks.

y If the OA Consumer is not having any contract demand with the distribution licensee of his area of supply, the excess drawal shall be governed by provision under Regulation No. 21 titled “Unscheduled Interchange Pricing”.

� Cross Subsidy Surcharge

− CSS shall be worked out in accordance with Terms and Conditions of Tariff of Distribution Licensee.

� Additional Surcharge

− The Commission shall determine the amount of additional surcharge on generic basis.

� Unscheduled Interchange Pricing

− Deviation shall be settled at higher of the applicable (CERC) deviation rates or Temporary Tariff.

− Any over-injection shall be compensated at the deviation charge rate at frequency of 50 Hz. or applicable CERC deviation charge rate whichever is less.

− Any underdrawl by an open access consumer shall not be compensated.

� Compliance and Grid Discipline

− The open access consumer shall restrict the sum of his total drawl from all sources including open access and distribution licensee up to the total sanctioned contracted demand with the distribution licensee. The consumer shall be levied fixed charge for the maximum demand recorded in the ABT meter as applicable from time to time.

− The quantum of power to be procured through open access will be uniform throughout the day.

− In the event of variation in schedule of open access of the consumer during the day, the quantum of power drawn from Discom in any time block of the day by the open access consumer shall not exceed the quantum of power drawn from the Discom in the time block when the maximum power is scheduled through open access.

− In case of inability of the consumer to do so, the extra power drawn over and above the restricted quantum during the day shall be billed at prevailing Temporary tariff corresponding to the consumer category.

− Short term open access customer shall provide the injection/drawal schedule for inter-state and intra-state transactions separately every day to the SLDC, RDPPC and the Distribution licensee by 10:00 hours of the day preceding the day of drawl/injection.

INDUsTRY NEWsPower Market Update: August’15

With average Market Clearing Price (MCP) for August’15 at ` 2.82 per unit, IEX Spot Power Market continued to be attractive for buyers – Discoms as well as Open Access Consumers. MCP remained close to last month’s MCP of ` 2.74 per unit. Average Area Clearing Price (ACP) varied between ` 2.4 per unit to ` 2.9 per unit except in Southern Region where average ACP was ` 5 per unit, up by 37% over the previous month. Congestion on the Inter-State Transmission System corridor (ISTS) remained the key reason for higher prices in the Southern Region.

Almost 2.77 BUs (Billion kWh) were traded in August, about 10% above 2.52 BUs traded in the previous month and about 11% above 2.50 BUs traded in the same month last year. Purchase bids worth 3.84 BUs while Sell bids worth 4.47 BUs were received during the month, higher by 16%. About 89 MUs were traded on a daily average basis this month.

Almost 344 MUs could not be traded due to constraints on the ISTS network, almost 9% more than 315 MUs lost in July’15.

In terms of participation, 975 participants traded in the day ahead spot market on a daily average basis in August.

Volumes

A few key power market highlights are as given below:

� Total Sell bids – 4.47 BUs

� Total buy bids – 3.84 BUs

MARKET INsIGHT

Integrating Renewable Energy to the Grid

CERC issued a milestone regulation, replacing earlier regulations relating to Renewable Regulatory Fund (RRF) mechanism to pave the way for inter-state transfer of variable renewable energy (VRE). These regulations are currently for Renewable Energy (RE) generators connected to Central Transmission Utility (CTU) network. Similar provisions for intra-State VRE generators can create a cohesive, seamless market for renewable Energy. The two regulations amended to integrate scheduling of renewable energy are summarized in the following sections.

Regulations for Forecasting, Scheduling and Handling Power Generated from Renewable Energy

A. Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) and related matters (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2015

� Applicability: The Regulation provides the framework for scheduling and deviation settlement for power generated from renewable energy source-wind and solar. These are applicable to renewable energy generators which are regional entities. These regulations shall come into force with effect from 1st November, 2015.

� Schedule Generation: The wind or solar generators which are regional entities shall be paid as per schedule. Buyer will be credited energy equivalent to Scheduled Generation (not Actual Generation) for meeting renewable purchase obligation (RPO).

� Deviation Settlement: The green power can be seen as bundle of green attribute and electricity. Therefore, deviation in bundled green power can be handled by handling both components. This regulation provides for an apt method of handling deviations in both components.

− Deviation Settlement of Electricity: Deviations of conventional generators are handled through frequency linked DSM charge. However, VRE generators cannot be controlled to minimize deviation, therefore, DSM mechanism for VRE generators is not linked to frequency but a rate linked to its agreed rate. Further, this deviation charge is not linked to quantum of deviation (AG-SG), but to a quantity called as Absolute Error. Absolute Error is defined as absolute value of the error in the actual generation of wind or solar generators with reference to the scheduled generation and the 'Available Capacity' (AvC), as calculated using the following formula for each 15 minute time block.

Error (%) = 100 X [Actual Generation – Scheduled Generation]/(AvC)

Where, Available Capacity (AvC) is cumulative capacity rating of the wind turbines or solar inverters that are capable of generating power in a given time-block.

Under-injection: For under-generation, the deviation charges will be payable by generator based on Absolute Error in the fifteen minute time block to the regional DSM pool as given in Table 1.

Over injection: For over-generation, Deviation Charge shall be payable to the generators from the Regional DSM Pool as given in Table 2.

Table 1: Deviation Charges in case of Under-Injection

Sr. No. *Absolute Error in 15-minute time block Deviation Charges payable to Regional DSM Pool

1. < = 15% Fixed Rate (FR) for shortfall for up to 15% absolute error

2. > 15% but < = 25% (1) + 110% FR for balance beyond 15% to 25%

3. > 25% but < = 35% (2) + 120% FR for balance beyond 25% to 35%

4. > 35% (3) + 130% FR for balance beyond 35%

06 | www.iexindia.com

Where, Fixed Rate (FR) is the PPA rate as determined by the Commission under Section 62 of the Act or adopted by the Commission under Section 63 of the Act. In case of multiple PPAs, the weighted average of the PPA rates shall be taken as the Fixed Rate.

Fixed Rate (FR) for Open access participants selling power which is not accounted for RPO compliance of the buyer, and the captive wind or solar plants shall be the Average Power Purchase Cost (APPC) rate at the National level, as may be determined by the Commission from time to time through a separate order.

− Deviation Settlement of Green Attribute: Green Attribute equivalent to difference between Actual and Scheduled Generation is done through REC. Regulations do not envisage buying and selling of RECs each week or month but allows that such RECs equivalent to deviations will be netted off for the entire pool on a monthly basis.

Shortfall in Generation in Scheduled Generation: Generator will be liable to purchase equivalent solar and non-solar Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). NLDC will utlitise funds from the pool account to balance it.

Excess Generation from Scheduled Generation: Excess generation will qualify for notional REC credit in the DSM pool account. REC credit will be carried forward for future settlement of green attribute.

B. IEGC (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2015 CERC has amended IEGC Regulations, 2010 to incorporate scheduling of regional wind and solar generators. Under

these amendments, RLDC will include power generation from projects based on wind and solar resources with capacity of 500 MW and above in its daily report. These regulations will be effective from November 1st, 2015 onwards.

� Information Dissemination Generators mandatorily must provide RLDC with power system parameters and weather related data in real time in

format prescribed by RLDC. Frequency and other details will be provided by NLDC and approved by Commission.

� Forecasting It will be done by both RE generator and RLDC. RLDC will do forecasting for maintaining grid security. RE generators

will do forecasting for schedule preparation.

� Revision of Schedule Generators will be allowed maximum 16 revisions. One revision for each time-block is allowed with 1.5 hours prior

notice.

On an overall basis, a total of 2561 participants are registered in the REC segment at IEX. Of this, 779 are Eligible Entities (RE Generators) 1,769 are Obligated Entities (DISCOMs, Open Access Consumers & Captive Generators) and 13 are registered as Voluntary Entities.

An overview of participation in the REC Market at IEX as on 31st August, 2015:

RENEWABlE NEWs

REC Market Update: August’15

The REC trading session on 26th August, 2015 at IEX, witnessed trade of a total of 1,03,638 RECs – 77,236 N-Solar and 26,402 Solar RECs with an overall market share of 69%.

� In the non-solar segment, total buy bids of 77,236 and total sell bids of 83,55,780 were received and all the buy bids were cleared at floor price of ` 1,500 per REC.

� In the solar segment, total buy bids of 26,402 RECs and sell bids of 17,44,953 RECs were received and all buy bids were cleared at floor price of ` 3,500 per REC.

In comparison to the same month last year, market volume increased 5 fold as only 16,103 RECs were traded in August’14 as compared to 1.03 lakh RECs traded this month. Although the REC market has gained momentum in comparison to last year, the traded volumes have been sliding down over the last few months. To ensure a buoyant market, it is imperative that Obligated Entities fulfill their RPO compliance.
