TECA had filed a petition No. MP 43 of 2012 on 04.12.2012 before TNERC seeking equitable

distribution of Electricity on the basis of Madras High Court Orders in Writ Petitions No 11292 and

11998 of 2011 and TNERC Order No. M.P. No. 15 of 2011 dated 22.03.2012.

Status :

The petition was admitted by TNERC on 4th December, 2012, several hearings were held.

Last hearing held on 27.02.2014. Our Advocates insisted the need for forming a committee to

examine the existing Load Shedding Protocol adopted. In our state and to implement suitable

Protocol to distribute the available power more equitably. For this purpose the Protocol adopted in

Maharashtra may be studied.

Accordingly the Commission directed TNERC Secretary to constitute a Committee consisting

members of TANGEDCO, SLDC, consumers and one representative from TECA and CODISSIA to

study the details of load shedding prevailing in our state. On behalf of TECA, President

Mr D Balasundaram has been nominated to represent before this Committee. The Other members are

Dr K S Palaniswamy(Consumer Representative, Chennai), Mr K Ilango, (CODISSIA) Chief Engineer-

Commercial, (TANGEDCO), Chief Engineer-Operation(TANTRANSCO)

The First meeting of this Committee was held on 18.03.2014. In this meeting, Committee Members

wanted to get the following details from TANGEDCO.

1. Details of load shedding at the time of critical period, when load shedding was maximum

2. Details of load shedding during the current period with details of planned (projected) relief in

different group timings.

3. Details of emergency load shedding over and above the normal load shedding followed in

emergency situation by TANTRANSCO.

was held on 20.05.2014.

During this meeting, committee members indicated that, Madras City was omitted from Load

shedding in the details provided by TANGEDCO. Members insisted that there should be equitable

distribution of load shedding throughout the state. Scientific procedures have to be adopted and load

shedding protocol should be in place for different level of shortages in the grid, which are equitable.

TANGEDCO agreed to come forward with some proposal with a load shedding protocol by 10th June

2014.

We have not received any proposal from TANGEDCO so far.

2. Equitable Distribution of electricity filed before (CCI)

before the Competition Commission of India (CCI) seeking equitable distribution of Electricity



throughout Tamil Nadu. The first hearing took place on 26-6-2013. Considering the magnitude of the

matter, the full commission sat for hearing for a very detailed hearing, which lasted for over 2 hours.

Status:

The Commission, passed an order dated 08.10.2013 directs The Director General(Investigation) of

Competition Commission, to investigate the matter for violation of any/all provisions of the

Competition Act, In case the Director General finds any company in violation of the provision of the

Act, it shall also investigate the role of the persons who at the time of such contravention were in

charge of and responsible for the conduct of the business of the company involved so as to fix

responsibility of such persons under section 48 of the Act. DG shall give opportunity of hearing to such

3. Electricity Tax on Demand Charges

The Supreme court in its judgement dated 15.05.2007 in SPIC Vs Electricity Inspector, Govt. of Tamil

Nadu in Civil Appeal No.2551 of 2007 has held that levy of electricity tax on Demand Charges was

invalid. Subsequently, Tamil Nadu Assembly has amended the original Act by Tamil Nadu Tax on

Consumption or Sale of Electricity (Amendment) Act of 2007 (Act 38 of 2007) in an attempt to nullify

the effect of this Supreme Court Order. TECA contested this amendment in Madras High Court.

Finally, this matter was decided against TECA by the Madras High Court Bench in its judgement dated

15.06.2012 in Writ Appeals No 11016 and 11017 which upheld the validity of the levy.

TECA has filed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) Nos. 35425-35426 of 2012 in Supreme Court against

the High Court Order.

APTEL passed an order dated 11.01.2011 held as follows:

“There is no clarity in TNERC order dated 28.11.2008 about excess demand charges and excess

energy charges for violation of restrictions during evening peak hours. Only by its order dated

4.05.2010, the Commission made it clear that excess demand and energy charges were applicable

from for such violations. Therefore TNERC could authorise TANGEDCO to collect excess charges for

violation only from the date of that order that is 04.10.2010”.

Status:

This order was challenged by TANGEDCO in Supreme Court vide Civil Appeal No.1090-1099 of 2011

and 2859 of 2011. The hearings are yet to be held. TECA and its members are respondents in the

appeal.

6. Solar Power Obligation

The Government of Tamil Nadu vide G.O.(Ms) No.121/Energy (C) 2 dated 19.10.2012 launched

“Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2012” which envisages generation of 3000 MW of Solar Energy by

2015. TNERC vide order No.1 of 2013 dated 07.03.2013 has empowered the state electricity

distribution company, TANGEDCO, to administer the 'Solar Power Obligation' mandated by the State

Government's solar policy. This Order fixes an Obligation of consumption of Solar Power on HT and LT

Commercial Consumers @ 3% for 2013 and 6% for 2014.

TECA has filed Appeal No.92 of 2013 before Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL). Our appeal

admitted by the APTEL, Chennai Circuit Bench on 24-05-2013.

Status:

Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) vide order dated 21.01.2014 has set aside the order No. 1 of

2013 passed by Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission. The gist of the Order is as follows;



I) The State Commission in discharge of its functions under the Electricity Act, 2003 has to be guided

by the directions of the State Government u/s 108 of the 2003 Act but the same are not mandatory

and binding. The State Commission being an independent statutory authority is not bound by any

policy directions which hampers its statutory functions.

ii) The State Commission has to be guided by the directions of the State Government u/s 108 of the

Act only in discharge of the functions assigned to it under the 2003 Act. Such directions have to be

implemented only under the functions and powers assigned to the State Commission under the

2003 Act. The Act only provides for specifying the purchase obligation from the renewable energy

sources under Section 86(1)(e). Thus, the directions of the State Government for SPO can only be

considered by the State Commission in exercise of its powers under Section 86(1)(e) of the Act.

iii) The contention of the State Commission that SPO and RPO are two different obligations and the

RPO has been fixed under RPO Regulations 2010 under Section 86(1)(e) and SPO as per

implementation of Policy directions of the State Government under Section 108 is not legally valid.

The State Commission has to consider the directions of the State Government under section 108

in the matter of discharge of its functions under the Act and not in a general way outside the

functional scope of the Act. The State Commission had no power to issue an SPO order as per the

directions of the State Government u/s 108 in addition and contrary to RPO obligations specified in

the RPO Regulations 2010.

iv) The State Commission can specify the RPO/SPO on the total consumption of the distribution

licensee and not selectively and directly on some categories of consumers of the distribution

licensee. The SPO obligation as provided in the impugned order is contrary to the State

Commission's Renewable Energy Regulations 2010 and is beyond the powers of the State

Commissions. The impugned order is also discriminatory to some categories of consumers of the

distribution licensee.

v) The State Commission has simply tried to implement the directions of the State Government by

passing the impugned order without considering its own functions and powers under the 2003 Act

and its own Renewable Energy Regulations notified under the Act and even without considering

the other important issues raised by the objectors.

In view of above, the Appeals are allowed and the impugned order is set aside.

7. TNERC Tariff Order No. TP 1 of 2013 dated 20.06.2013

Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued orders on the Tariff Petitions submitted by

TANGEDCO for fixation of retail tariff and transmission charges. The orders take effect from

21.06.2013. TECA have found that TNERC, & TANGEDCO has violated certain regulations stipulated in

National Electricity Policy and Tariff Policy and recent APTEL's directions.

TECA had challenged this TNERC order before Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) vide appeal

No. 199 of 2013.

This appeal came before APTEL Chennai Bench on 26th August 2013 for admission. Last hearing was

held on 15.04.2014.

Status:

Arguments over and the Judgement is reserved.




Annexure -3

Electric Power supply situation in India in the year 2013-14

1. Introduction

India has the world's fifth-largest electricity generation capacity which currently stands at 243 GW.

For households, not only do 300 million Indians live without electricity but those who do have power

receive an inadequate and unreliable supply, especially in rural areas. India's per capita annual

consumption, 780 kwh, is among the world's lowest, and far below that in other emerging economies.

In the next two decades India will face immense challenges if it is to sustain the 8–10 percent

economic growth required to end poverty and achieve human development goals. According to the

Planning Commission, by 2032 India will have to almost triple its 2010 supply. a compound annual

growth rate of 4.7 percent. India will also need to raise installed electricity capacity by at least five or

six times 2003–04 levels to meet demand in 2031–32 (Planning Commission 2006). Powering India

will thus require the emergence of a commercially viable sector.

India's power generation capacity is higher with coal at 58.3 per cent, followed by hydro 17.7 per

cent, renewable energy 12.3 per cent, gas 9 per cent, nuclear 2.1 per cent and oil 0.5 per cent,

Achieving energy security in the strategic sense is of fundamental importance not only to India's

economic growth but also for the human development objectives that aim at alleviation of poverty,

unemployment and meeting the Millennium Development Goals.

The importance of reliable electricity for economic development is most apparent when it is

absent—and so becomes a constraint. Inadequate and unreliable power supply can result in lost

revenues for enterprises and reduce the welfare of household consumers. That power quality affects

economic development is supported by recent literature.

Industrialization, urbanization, population growth, economic growth, improvement in per capita

consumption of electricity, depletion of coal reserve, increasing import of coal, crude oil and other

energy sources and the rising concern over climate change have put India in a critical position. The

demand for power has been growing at a rapid rate and overtaken the supply, leading to power

shortages in spite of manifold growth in power generation over the years.

The demand for power has been outstripping the growth of availability. Substantial peak and total

energy shortages prevail in the country.

2. Issues and remedies to strengthen the power sector in India

According to research data available from various sources, the problems in the power sector or power

shortages apart from the obvious shortage in supply result from issues like:

1. High Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses (AT&C losses)

2. Poor financial health of DISCOMs

3. Shortage of fuel

4. Low plant load factor



Transmission bottlenecks are an important reason for these shortages. Since demand and generation

capacity are both expected to increase in the future, transmission constraints need to be addressed

urgently, said the report released today.

The transmission sector is already lacking in investments made so far. Although 50 per cent of the

amount invested in power generation should be invested in transmission, in India this figure stands at

a mere 30 per cent.

The recent world Bank's report states has identified electricity distribution to the end consumer as the

weak link in the sector. The report recommends freeing utilities and regulators from external

interference, increasing accountability and enhancing competition in the sector to move it to a higher

level of service delivery.

AT&C losses in India stood at 26 per cent, which was much higher than the global average of 9 per cent

in 2010.

"Another important issue in the transmission sector has been the inability to evacuate excess power

from surplus regions and channel it to regions that face shortages

In India the regulatory environment has not sufficiently pushed utilities to improve performance. A

lack of accountability, limited autonomy, and constrained technical capacity have restricted the ability

of SERCs to create an independent, transparent, and unbiased governance framework for the sector

that balances consumer and investor or utility interests. SERCs have been established in all states but

have generally struggled to achieve true autonomy from state governments, partly because of

relationships built into the Electricity Act.

The Electricity Act 2003 sought to limit government interference in utility operations, yet state

governments are still a major presence with a generally detrimental impact on utility operations. They

have exacerbated discoms' financial difficulties by compelling them to borrow to cover operational

expenses (given the revenue shortfalls due to under-recovery of power purchase costs and

incomplete or late subsidy payments by state governments), by applying political pressure to keep

tariffs low, and by pressuring discoms to purchase power during elections to keep voters happy.

Irregular and inadequate tariff increases over the past decade, despite state regulators' ability to act

on their own initiative, have lowered cost recovery and increased regulatory assets.

Banks and financial institutions continued financing insolvent discoms 2011, ignoring due diligence

and prudential norms as lending to unbundled discoms grew 35 percent a year over the previous five

years. This flow of liquidity limited the pressure on discoms to improve performance and on state

governments to allow tariff increases.

Poor power sector performance has its roots in distribution inefficiencies and limited accountability, so

fixing them will help improve service delivery and other metrics of sector performance, put the sector

on a financially sustainable path, and ensure that power is no longer a bottleneck for growth.

Power distribution in India needs sweeping reforms if it is to bring back the country to a high growth

trajectory and meet its goal of expanding access to electricity to all by 2019.



3. Priorities action to be taken in power sector are as follows:

1. Implement fully the key Electricity Act 2003 mandates, especially those on competition and

distribution (tariffs, open access, and standards of performance)

2. Ensure regulatory autonomy, effectiveness, and accountability

3. Ensuring that high-quality, updated data are publicly available and that these data are used for

monitoring and benchmarking performance and for planning and decision making is key to

incentivizing improved utility performance

4. Insulate utilities from state government to prevent interference with internal operation

5. Use central programs and other support to incentivize operational and financial efficiency.

6. Make better use of India's size and diversity to experiment with and learn from different

models of service provision, including private sector participation through joint ventures,

franchising, management contracts, and so on.

7. Promote electrification in a financially responsible manner and support diverse delivery

models

8. Rationalize domestic tariff structures to improve targeting and reduce the fiscal burden.

4. Current Power Status :

India's energy basket has a mix of all the resources available including renewable.

According to the Ministry of Power Executive summary of Power Sector April 2014 India has an total

installed capacity of 245393.54 MW.

5. All India Installed Capacity (MW) as on 30.04.2014 (Region Wise) as follows;


6. All India Installed Capacity (MW) as on 30.04.2014 (Sector Wise) as follows



7. India's Growth of Installed Capacity Since 6th Plan (In MW)

According to the latest annual 'Load Generation Balance Report'(LGBR) by the Central Electricity Authority, our

country is facing the power deficit of 4.5 percent in terms of Peak Demand and 4.2 percent in terms of energy for

the financial year 2013-14.

Karnataka 64150 58052 -6098 -9.5 9940 9223 -717 -7.2

This trend will continue in the upcoming year also.



10. Anticipated Power Supply Position in the Country during 2014-15

According to CEA, the country is expected to see a power shortage of 5.1 per cent this fiscal year

(2014-15) even as the deficit is projected to be very high in the southern region.

The report said the "country is expected to experience a peak shortage of 2 per cent and energy

shortage of 5.1 per cent, despite very high shortages likely to be experienced by Southern Region".

Going by the projections, the shortfall in the southern region would be 12.7 per cent; north eastern -

17.4 per cent; eastern - 3.4 per cent, and northern - 3.1 per cent.

The report states that Uttar Pradesh, with a shortage of 15,042MU, and undivided Andhra Pradesh

(15,000MU) are the worst affected states. Together, they account for 56% of the overall deficit of

53,515MU across India. Owing to the bifurcation of the state, the residual AP may have to bear the

brunt.

(Source: CEA LGBR: 2014-2015)

For India a 2012 survey by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry found that

India loses USD 68 billion, or about Rs 4,14,800 crore of its Gross Domestic Product due to the lack of

affordable and quality power. A 2006 World Bank investment climate assessment indicated an almost

7 percent loss in production or merchandise value due to power outages or surges from the public

grid.

There is strong correlation between power consumption and the GDP of the country. Power shortages

currently cost India a GDP loss of USD 68 billion (0.4 per cent of total GDP),"

Energy exploration and exploitation, capacity additions, clean energy alternatives, conservation, and

energy sector reforms will, therefore, be critical for energy security

Energy conservation has also emerged as one of the major issues in recent years. Conservation and

efficient utilization of energy resources play a vital role in narrowing the gap between demand and

supply of energy. Improving energy efficiency is one of the most desirable options for Bridging the gap

in the short term.

Annexure -5

Electric Power supply situation in Tamil Nadu in the year 2013-14

1. Introduction:

Tamil Nadu is the eleventh largest state in India by area and the sixth most populous state in India.

Tamil Nadu is the second largest contributor to India's GDP. Tamil Nadu possesses the second-largest

economy (2011–12) among states in India after Maharashtra. It is the second most industrialised

state next to Maharastra. Tamil Nadu's gross state domestic product for the year 2011–2012 was 4.28

trillion (short scale) or $145,868 Million. Tamil Nadu had a per capita GDP of $1,622, the sixth highest

in India. The state was ranked sixth among states in India according to the Human Development

Index in 2011. The state has the highest number (10.56 per cent) of business enterprises and stands

second in total employment (9.97 per cent) in India compared to the population share of about 6 per

cent. In the 2013 Raghuram Rajan panel report, Tamil Nadu was ranked as the third most developed

state in India based on a Multidimensional Development Index.

The state has shown a growth of 9.4 per cent in the year 2011–2012. It ranks third in foreign direct

investment (FDI) approvals (cumulative 1991–2002) of 225,826 million ($5,000 million), next only

to Maharashtra and Delhi constituting 9.12 per cent of the total FDI in the country.

Tamil Nadu has the third largest established power generation capacity in the country. The total

installed capacity of electricity in the State by January 2014 was 20,716 MW. Tamil Nadu ranks first

nationwide in diesel-based thermal electricity generation with a national market share of over 34 per

cent. From a power surplus state in 2005–06, Tamil Nadu has become a state facing severe power

shortage over the recent years due to lack of new power generation projects and delay in the

commercial power generation at Kudankulam Atomic Power Project.

Tamil Nadu is likely to face a shortage of 6,690 million units (MU) of power in 2014-15, about 21% more than last

year, a report of the Central Electricity Authority has said.

Despite commissioning state-owned thermal plants and adding about 2,500 MW to its kitty,

Tamil Nadu will face a higher shortage owing to increase in demand, the annual report on demand and supply of

power in various states has said. The peak hour demand in the state is estimated to be 13,773 MW and the

availability will be only 12,128 MW, it said.

August 14,2013 Power cut relaxed totally

October 1, 2013 20% power cut on both demand and energy

June 1st 2014 Power cut relaxed totally


6. TNEB is hoping to bridge the gap by tapping its long-term power purchase agreements to source

3330 MW, out of which about 2,100MW will come from northern states and the remaining from within

the state. The agreements signed with private power producers come into effect by August.

But a major handicap has been that there are few routes to bring power from the northern part of the

country to the south.

Of the two parallel lines being laid between Raichur and Sholapur, one line was connected to the rest-

of-the-nation grid on December 31, 2013. But the other line is being laid by a private company and

only when this line is operational, power can be evacuated from northern states.

The private line is likely to be operational by August 2014 as testing and other necessary formalities

are being undertaken to operationalise both the lines. Once these two lines are made operational,

Tamil Nadu and other southern states can evacuate power from the rest of the country.

An important point in the total deficit in the Southern Region of the country which is estimated at

9254MW during peak hours, The capacity of the existing lines, along with the additions in this year

would not be sufficient to manage this deficit

TANGEDCO also hopeful of getting more than half of the power generated by Kudankulam Unit 1 and

Some of the joint ventures like the Neyveli Lignite Corporation in Tuticorin will expect to commission

will help them to overcome the shortage.
