REGION REMARKS

Northern Region Deficit RegionHighly weather sensitive load

North Eastern Region

Very low loadHigh hydro potential

Eastern Region Low loadHigh coal reservesPit head base load plants

Western Region Industrial load and agricultural loadHighly Deficit Region

Southern Region High load (40% agricultural load)Monsoon dependent hydro

A strong transmission network backbone is essential in order to transfer the power across the length and breadth of the country :

- Due to high load growth and low generation avenues in Northern and Western Regions

- Due to low load and high generation in Eastern and North Eastern regions

- Due to high load growth and monsoon dependent generation availability in Southern Region

Necessity for strong transmission backbone …

MilestonesMilestones1989 Unbundling of CS transmission from generation

- (Formation of National Power Transmission

Corporation .. now POWERGRID)

1991 Generation opened to Private Sector

1995 Unbundling process started in States

- State unbundled into Gencos, Transco & Discom

1998 Electricity (Amendment) Act 1998

1998 Electricity Regulatory Commission Act passed

2003 Electricity Act 2003 enacted in June 2003

2004 CERC Order and Regulations on OPEN ACCESS

Open Access: Definition As per Electricity Act,

2003

Section 2 (47)

“Open access” means the non-discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such lines or system by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the Appropriate Commission;”

A More general Definition of “Open Access”

“Enabling of non-discriminatory sale/ purchase of electric power/energy between two parties utilizing the system of an in- between (third party), and not blocking it on unreasonable grounds”

Scope/Applicability…

Subject to any other regulations specified by the Commission, the long-term customer shall have first priority for using the inter-State transmission system for the designated use. These Regulations shall apply for utilization of surplus capacity available thereafter on the inter-State transmission system by virtue of-

(a) Inherent design margins;

(b) Margins available due to variations in power flows;

(c ) Margins available due to in-built spare transmission capacity created to cater to future load

growth or generation addition:

As per CERC Regulations 2008 Clause 3

CERC Regulations on Open Access in Inter State Transmission implemented w.e.f. 6-May-2004.

CERC amended the above Regulations and the amended Regulations implemented w.e.f 01-04-2005.

CERC on 25-01-2008 amended the Regulations and the new Regulations are implemented w.e.f 01-04-2008.

Long Term : Twenty five years and above - Life of the Assets about 25 years

- Existing beneficiaries of a regional transmission system owned or operated by CTU- deemed long term customers

- New Long Term Open Access customers: Require BPTA for inter-State transmission

Short Term : Which is not Long Term - Essentially a Non firm service

- The service may be curtailed if system security demands.

CERC OA Regulations 2004 and Amendment, 2005

Effective 01.04.2008 Regulations cover only Short-term Open

power by embedded customers Telemetry Metering Scheduling PPAs

Open Access - Issues

UI Settlement of Intra state entities

- Before the Implementation of Open Access

Regulations 2008, for deviations different STU/SLDCs are charging differently for embedded customers.

- At times even the clearance was being withheld for want of approval philosophy.

In the New Open Access Regulations the issues are being addressed


WAY AHEAD… WAY AHEAD…

Energy Resources

Open Access- Way Ahead…Empowerment of SLDCs

- Greater role assigned to State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC) to

bring them at par with the Regional Load Despatch Centre (RLDC).

- unless specified otherwise by the concerned State Commission, the

UI rate for intra-State entity shall be 105% (for over-drawals/under

generation) and 95% (for under-drawals / over generation) of the UI

Rate at the periphery of regional entity. This has been done to

facilitate dispute free energy accounting and settlement of

deviations for intra-state entities located in the State where intra-

state ABT has not yet been implemented.

- Empowerment of SLDCs has been made technically and financially.

WAY AHEAD

As per provision under chapter 4.11,10.5 of OGC Rule 2006 and order dated 29.10.2007 passed by Hon’ble OERC, the real time data of the CGP,(M/s NBVL) is yet to be received at the SLDC, Control Room.

In absence of real time data monitoring facility, SLDC cannot

comply the OGC provision under chapter 3.4(9) during

APPCC (ANDHRA)(SR)


Though the Parties have approached CERC, but the open access transaction is not through.

Consent was not given by KPTCL by citing the following Reasons

The Sugar companies started trading of the surplus power by applying through open access .But initially KPTCL has not consented by citing the reason that the sugar companies are having PPA with ESCOMs.Later the Sugar companies have approached CERC and CERC allowed them to trade under open access.

Aggreived by the order of CERC, KPTCL has approached the Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal stated that if any petition is filed , the state commission shall consider the same. But the existing open access arrangement to continue.
