Ministry of Power launches ‘TARANG’ Mobile App & Web Portal

Shri Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal, New & Renewable Energy and Mines opened a new chapter to enhance transparency in power transmission sector by launching the ‘TARANG’ Mobile App, developed by Rural Electrification Corporation Transmission Projects Company Limited (RECTPCL), a subsidiary of REC Ltd, in New Delhi on 17th August, 2016.

With perspective of good governance and keeping in line with the “Digital India” initiative of Government of India, ‘TARANG’ (Transmission App for Real Time Monitoring & Growth) Mobile App & Web Portal that tracks upcoming transmission projects and monitors the progress of Inter-State & Intra-State transmission systems in the country, being developed through regulated tariff mechanism as well as Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route. It also includes status of stalled/delayed transmission systems which would enable the stakeholders viz. Ministry of Power, State Governments, all private sector transmission developers etc. for expeditious completion of such projects.

Since Green Energy Corridors are an important component of our renewable energy mission, TARANG would also help to monitor and meet our ambitious targets on time. The web portal can be accessed at www.tarang.website.

Besides Tarang, recently the Honorable Minister also unveiled the ‘e-Trans’ web platform for 'e-bidding' and 'e-reverse' auction for Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) in transmission projects.

MARkET INSIGHTS

There is a provision in National Electricity Policy (NEP) to safeguard the interest of the DISCOMS by allowing them to recover Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS) and Additional surcharge (AS) from the consumers who are opting for open access. However, it also very clearly states that the amount of CSS and AS needs to be calculated in a manner that it should not eliminate competition (open access). The premise is, Discom should be compensated (only if required) and at the same time open access, the spirit of competition (as envisaged in Electricity Act 2003), should be promoted for larger interest of the consumer.

Open access has been the mainstay in Electricity Act 2003, though the potential benefits of open access to the industries has not been realised to its fullest even after a decade. High/unreasonable CSS deprive open access consumer off the cheaper power available in the power market.

Determination of Cross Subsidy SurchargeDistribution companies (Discoms) recovers over-all cost of supply through tariffs for various categories of consumers. The tariffs are structured in such a manner that industrial and commercial consumers subsidizes cost of supply to consumers with low paying capacity such as agricultural and residential, this is termed as cross subsidization. Consequently, cross subsidy surcharge is levied on consumers, switching to alternate supplies under open access, to compensate the host distribution licensee serving such consumers, for loss of the cross-subsidy element built into the tariff of such consumers.

In January 2016, National Tariff Policy 2016 introduced new formula to calculate CSS.

S= T – [C/ (1-L/100) + D+ R]

S � is the surcharge

T � is the tariff payable by the relevant category of consumers, including reflecting the Renewable Purchase Obligation

C � is the per unit weighted average cost of power purchase by the Licensee, including meeting the Renewable Purchase Obligation

D � is the aggregate of transmission, distribution and wheeling charge applicable to the relevant voltage level

l � is the aggregate of transmission, distribution and commercial losses, expressed as a percentage applicable to the relevant voltage level

R � is the per unit cost of carrying regulatory assets

The new tariff policy made major amendments in the formula for calculation of CSS. Earlier CSS was calculated

using the difference between the industrial tariffs and cost of top 5% power purchase, but as per the new formula, the CSS is calculated as the difference between the tariff and the weighted average cost of power, capped at 20% of the tariff.

Though NTP(2016) has given the flexibility to the SERCs to vary the formula taking into consideration the different circumstances, still there is cap (20% of applicable tariff ) on the CSS. The clause from the National Tariff Policy 2016 is reproduced below:

8.5.1

“Above formula may not work for all distribution licensees, particularly for those having power deficit, the State Regulatory Commissions, while keeping the overall objectives of the Electricity Act in view, may review and vary the same taking into consideration the different circumstances prevailing in the area of distribution licensee.

Provided that the surcharge shall not exceed 20% of the tariff applicable to the category of the consumers seeking open access.”

Today, many states continue with the CSS determined as per the old CSS formula, which in many cases are as high as 50% of tariff for the consumer category. CSS has become a major cause of worry for open access consumers. High CSS makes open access unviable for many states. In addition, even after capping the CSS at a ceiling of 20% of the retail tariff, many states have much higher CSS (Figure 1). The regulatory framework clearly highlights the necessity of keeping CSS at a level that facilitates in creating a level playing field for consumer to choose from OA and retail supply.

Issues in State’s CSS Calculation Though the formula is clearly stated in the NTP, still there are issues pertaining to CSS in various states. In this section we will try to analyze various aspects, acting as impediments,

pertaining to the tariff determination, CSS formula, its actual determination & common misinterpretation.

Tariff ‘T’ should be Average Billing rate (ABR) z

As per NTP, “T” is the tariff payable by the relevant �category of consumers, including reflecting the Renewable Purchase Obligation.

It is important to determine what is the effective �tariff applicable for a category of consumer. The Tariff has two components, viz., Fixed/Demand charge and Energy Charge, and as per APTEL Judgement (A No 181/2015) it is clarified that for the purpose of calculating the cross-subsidy surcharge the ‘T’ is the Average Billing Rate in Rs/kWh terms for the respective category as it reflects the effective combination of fixed/demand and energy charges payable by that category of consumers. The extracts from the APTEL judgements are reproduced below:

Appeal No 181/2015, Judgement dated 26th May 2016 (Byrnihat Industries Association v/s MSERC & MPDCL)Para 12 (iv)“It is the settled law of this Tribunal that the CSS under the National Tariff Policy Formula has to be computed on the basis of "T" being the Average Billing Rate for the category of consumers.”

Appeal No 178/2011, Judgement dated 2nd December 2013(Reliance Infrastructure Limited v/s MERC & others)

Para 8“ …Mathematically, it can be represented as: ABR of a category of a consumer=Total expected revenue from a category/ Total sale of power to that category.”

Tariff ‘T’ should exclude Demand Charges for z

Partial OA consumers There is an issue when it comes to consumer opting �for partial open access. In case of partial open access the consumer maintain the contract demand with the Discom and hence pays the fixed charges for it. However, CSS determined for its category also has the component of Fixed Charge covered in “T”. Technically there is a dual accounting of fixed charges. SERCs should consider adjusting the fixed charges paid by such consumer while calculating T (Average Billing Rate).

Increase in CSS z

With the ceiling for CSS at 20% of the tariff in NTP �2016, many Discom interpret it as a norm and are making moves to increase CSS to a level of 20% of the tariff. However, this interpretation is contrary to the EA 2003 which stipulates the progressive reduction of cross subsidies. That is, CSS level determined for a year cannot be increased from CSS level determined

in the preceding year. The clause from the EA 2003 is extracted below:

42.2 of EA ,2003“…..Provided also that such surcharge and cross subsidies shall be progressively reduced in the manner as may be specified by the State Commission”

Assuming lower load Factor increases “T” and z

consequently “S”Industry on an average have a higher load factor �however if a Discom, while determining “T”, assumes lower load factor than the effective “T” will be higher and in a way artificially inflate the Cross Subsidy Surcharge. By using ABR this issue can be addressed as it reflect the actual load factor of that category.

CSS should be made effective prospectively z

from the date of notification buy SERC and not retrospectively.

Way forwardThe progressive reduction of CSS levels is key factor to facilitate competition in power sector as embedded in the provisions of regulatory framework. It is also imperative for the Discoms that the cross subsidy is calculated transparently in such a way that it is reflective of true difference in cost of supply for different consumer category. There is also a need to place checks where CSS acts as barrier in facilitation of open access in State.

The Open Access charges should be tested with the following rationale:

Average Cost of Power Purchase (APPC)

Open Access ChargesPoC charge �STU Charge �Wheeling Charge � Cross Subsidy Surcharge �Additional Surcharge �Other Charges �

Average Billing Rate (ABR)

+

In other words, it should be viable for Open Access Consumer to buy power from the market, when market prices are lower than the APPC.In many states like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh etc; there is a need to re-determine the CSS in a transparent manner as per new NTP formula and all efforts to be made to progressively reduce it and ensure it does not kill the competition in power sector, which is the spirit of electricity Act 2003. Another aspect that needs to be examined is that direct subsidy can be a better way to support the poorer categories of consumers than the mechanism of cross-subsidizing the tariff across the board. Subsidies should be targeted effectively and in transparent manner.
