Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS): CSS based on category wise or voltage wise cost of supply (CoS) is not a suitable method.

Stand-by charges: It was agreed that only 125% of variable charges for each category should be applicable as stand-by surcharge. This is so because fixed charges are already recovered in the demand charges and is in line with Tariff policy 2016. FOR members also felt that tariff structure is not uniform across all SERCs and the concept of standby Charge can be only for long term Open Access Consumers. Tariff Design and Rationalization: FOR concurred to the proposal of MoP and agreed that the tariff should reflect actual breakup of fixed and variable charges. However, demand charges are kept low to have minimal impact on low load and domestic consumers. Open access customers are also benefitted from the same and they move to open access by paying low fixed charges. Hence, SERCs may revise fixed charges gradually.

REGUlATORY NEWSFOR Report on Open Access

� In July 2016, the Forum of Regulators (FOR) had constituted a Working Group on issues affecting the implementation of Open Access comprising Chairpersons of CERC, RERC, AERC, GERC, MERC, TNERC, WBERC, PSERC and CSERC.

� The Terms of Reference of the Working Group included:

yy Detailed examination of Tariff and Non-Tariff barriers for Open Access.

yy Impact of Open Access on revenue inflow of distribution utilities.

yy Examination of Rules on captive generation and their impact on Open Access.

yy Suitable measures for implementation of Open Access.

� On 15 December, 2017 FOR deliberated on the Report of the Working Group and endorsed its Report which in turn emphasized the issues raised by MoP in their Consultation Paper on Open Access dated 24 August 2017.

� Key Recommendations:

yy Barriers to Open Access: − Need for uniform methodology for the determination of various charges

such as OA charges, Cross Subsidy Surcharge and additional surcharge. − Leverage technology solutions and automate processes for NOC

issuance, energy scheduling and energy settlement. − Conduct impact assessment for DISCOMS as well as OA users.

yy Recommendations on the Consultative Paper of the Ministry of Power as adopted in FOR Report:

− Frequent shifting of open access consumers: Open access customers should be required to schedule power for at least 24 hours whenever they seek open access is acceptable. However, it is suggested that Open Access Consumers should schedule minimum continuous 8 (eight) hours of supply through Open Access.

− Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS): CSS based on category wise or voltage wise cost of supply (CoS) is not a suitable method. SERC must be guided by the philosophy of the Tariff Policy 2016, which states that CSS must be calculated on the basis of average cost of supply.

− Additional Surcharge: The proposal suggested in the Consultation Paper to have three components (long-terms PPAs, stranded physical assets and Cost of carrying regulatory assets) of Additional Surcharge to fully recover the losses due to stranded capacity and regulatory assets is accepted.

− Stand-by charges: It was agreed that only 125% of variable charges for each category should be applicable as stand-by surcharge. This is so because fixed charges are already recovered in the demand charges and is in line with Tariff policy 2016. FOR members also felt that tariff structure is not uniform across all SERCs and the concept of standby Charge can be only for long term Open Access Consumers.

− Tariff Design and Rationalization: FOR concurred to the proposal of MoP and agreed that the tariff should reflect actual breakup of fixed and variable charges. However, demand charges are kept low to have minimal impact on low load and domestic consumers. Open access customers are also benefitted from the same and they move to open access by paying low fixed charges. Hence, SERCs may revise fixed charges gradually.

DERC issues Approach Paper on Tariff RationalizationDERC has issued an Approach Paper on Tariff Rationalization to examine the existing regulatory framework in electricity retail tariff and develop a strategy for creating competition in market within the present legal frame work of the Electricity Act, 2003. The paper refers to MoP Consultation Paper on Issues Pertaining to Open Access and suggests way forward on the issues highlighted in the MoP paper. The paper suggests the following:

� Cross Subsidy:yy The Fixed charges and Energy charges should be adjusted gradually, say over a period of three to five years, so as to

make the retail tariff reflective of the actual Fixed Cost.

yy This will compensate the unrecovered portion of Fixed Charges’ of retail tariff to avoid additional burden on the consumers of the existing distribution licensees.

� Carriage and Content Business:yy Total distribution cost of existing distribution licensee should be split into carriage & content based on actual

expenditure incurred by the Distribution Licensee in the form of Actual Fixed Cost & Actual Variable Cost, in line with the proposed amendment in Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2014.

yy In the event of separation of Carriage and Content following steps will merit consideration: − Liability on account of fixed charges of existing Long Term Power Purchase Agreements will have to be included

in the ARR of the utility performing the wheeling function. − Subsidized Consumers class (based on income, consumption, load etc.) for which regulated tariff shall be

determined will have to be identified. − Every consumer other than the subsidized consumers class then can have the option to avail open access with a

minimum lock-in period to avoid frequent switching as deemed appropriate. − Ceiling Tariff may have to be determined in order to protect the consumer interest and avoid possibility of

cartelization & supernormal profit due to entry barrier in electricity industry as it is high capital intensive sector and longer gestation period.

− Identification of a licensee to perform Universal Service Obligation.

� Universal Service Obligation (USO):yy For providing the supply of electricity to the lower income group of consumers at affordable rates, cross subsidy

among the different consumer category can’t be eliminated.

yy This would however call for identifying a retail supply licensee which may be amongst the existing distribution licensee, for the purpose of USO and ensure electricity at regulated rate to every consumer as mandated under the Act.

yy To attain the objective of USO, a portion of cheaper source power plants may have to be allocated to the USO supplier as being followed in Singapore.

� The DERC has stakeholder comments on the Approach Paper and the last date for sending comments is 18.03.2018.

More information: www.derc.gov.in

AERC Proposes Draft Open Access Regulations 2018 The Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission (AERC) has proposed Draft AERC (Terms and Conditions for Open Access) Regulations, 2018. The brief of proposed regulations are as under:

� Eligibility:yy The licensees, generating companies, captive generating plants & consumers.

yy Consumers having contract demand of 1 MW and above.

yy Consumers who are connected by dedicated feeders irrespective of their voltage of supply, and where there is no operational constraint shall be allowed open access. The customer shall also be subjected to rostering restrictions including power cuts imposed by the licensee on the feeders serving them.

� Criteria:yy STOA shall be allowed if surplus capacity is available on the intra-State transmission system/distribution system after

MARkET NEWS Power Market Update: February’18

The Day-Ahead market at IEX saw a trade of 3,326 MU in February’18, which is almost at par with the 3,375 MU traded in January’18 and about 14% more than 2,927 MU traded in February’17. On a daily average basis about 119 MU were traded. Average daily sell and buy bids were 224 MU and 155 MU respectively. The total sell bids during the month were 6,270 MU and the total buy bids were 4,326 MU.

The average Market Clearing Price (MCP) discovered in the day-ahead market was at ̀ 3.23 per unit, was also at par with the price of January’18 which was ` 3.2 per unit and 27% above ` 2.54 per unit same month last year.

The average MCP during different time-periods of the day was:

� Morning (07:00 to 10:00 Hrs) : ` 4.16 per unit

� Day (11:00 to 17:00 Hrs) : ` 3.27 per unit

� Evening peak (18:00 to 23:00 Hrs) : ` 3.67 per unit

� Night (01-06 Hrs and 24 Hrs) : ` 2.27 per unit

As seen in January’18, the increase in spot market price was largely on account of increase in demand associated with seasonal variation, and increase in coal price and railway freight.

One Nation, One Price was realized for 24 days in the month while it was realized for 23 days in previous month. The day-ahead market experienced transmission congestion mainly on account of import by Northern states, which was 4% of the time. Consequently, the average daily Area Clearing Price (ACP), the price at which settlement takes place, varied across the bid areas. The ACP across the regions was as below:

� North: ` 3.32 per unit

� South: ` 3.23 per unit

� Rest of India: ` 3.22 per unit

On daily average basis 872 participants traded in the day-ahead power market in February’18.

In fiscal 2017-18, as on date, the DAM has traded 41,529 MUs at an average price of ` 3.19 per unit.
