15. ACTIVITIES OF OFFICE OF CONSUMER ADVOCACY
The Office of Consumer Advocacy (OCA) in the KERC was established in
September 2001 to protect and promote the interests of electricity consumers in
Karnataka. The main objective of OCA is to inform, educate and empower
consumers to enable them to participate in the electricity regulatory process.
The Commission believes that the benefits of regulation will reach the consumers
only when the consumers are able to articulate effectively and speak up for
their rights.
Since its inception the OCA has undertaken several initiatives to achieve the
objectives for which it has been established. It is acting as a catalyst to make
the consumers participate in the power sector reform process and at the same
time act as a countervailing force both on the Licensees and the Regulatory
Commission.
From 2011-12 there has been a paradigm shift in the activities of the OCA.
During the year the focus was on research and documentation of best
practices. The OCA has taken up evaluation studies, collection of data
pertaining to consumer problems, functioning of the Consumer Grievance
Redressal Forum (CGRF), Ombudsman etc. The OCA has obtained most of the
orders passed by the CGRF of the five ESCOMS and also the Ombudsman.
Based on the data obtained a compilation is being prepared. The compilation
with regard to Ombudsman is completed. The report of the orders of the CGRF
is in progress.
Consumer Information
The OCA is bringing out a bilingual (English and Kannada) newsletter
highlighting news and views of interest to electricity consumers. Aptly titled, the
newsletter ‘Consumer Power’ and ‘Vidyut Balakedara’ is being distributed to
over 500 consumer organisations, resident welfare associations, consumer
activists etc.

Consumer Grievance Handling
Despite the fact the Licensees have established their own Consumer Grievance
Redressal Forums as required under the Electricity Act 2003 and the Regulations
made there under by the KERC, the OCA has been receiving complaints from
the consumers. The OCA is trying to facilitate the grievances by forwarding the
complaints to respective ESCOMS and following it up with the concerned
officials.
Review of Standards of Performance
Apart from attending to grievances the OCA is also involved in providing inputs
to the KERC for policy making. The OCA made a detailed study of the Standards
of Performance based on the quarterly reports submitted by the ESCOMS. A
consolidated report has been furnished to the KERC. The OCA has
recommended that the procedure for payment of compensation due to failure
of the ESCOMS to adhere to the standards needs to be reviewed.
Online Reporting
The Forum of Regulators (FOR) has established a portal in their website
www.forumofregulators.gov.in wherein details of the Consumer Grievance
Redressal Forum, Ombudsman, report of Standards of Performance etc. are to
be uploaded by each of the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions. The OCA
has submitted all the information/data required by the FOR.

16. PROGRAMME FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
The following activities are in the plan of action envisaged for FY13:
1. Regulations for introduction of Fuel cost Adjustment Charges (FAC):
The Hon’ble ATE in its order in OP No.1/2011 dated 11th November 2011, has
directed to put in place a formula / mechanism for Fuel Cost Adjustment
Charges. In this regard, the Commission proposes to bring in Regulations for
collection of FAC from its consumers by the ESCOMs.
2. Benchmarking of Reliability Index:
As per Clause 5.13.2 of National Electricity Policy, the distribution licensee has
to indicate Reliability Index (RI) of supply of power to consumers. The
Commission has issued “Guidelines for Determination of Reliability Indices of
supply of power to consumers” on 15.12.2008. As per the National Electricity
Policy, the Commission is required to put in place a road map for declaration
of Reliability Index for all cities and towns upto District Headquarter towns as
also for rural areas. In view of the fact that data of RI for past three years
being available, the Commission proposes to benchmark Reliability indices
for towns and cities, District Headquarters and rural areas covering all the
areas of ESCOMs during the year 2012-13.
3. Amendment to REC Regulations:
It is proposed to amend the Clause pertaining to condition for accreditation
in respect of captive generation for obtaining REC to bring in greater clarity.
4. Revision of existing format of Wheeling and Banking Agreements:
ESCOMs and other stakeholders had requested for certain changes in the
existing wheeling and banking agreement. Keeping in view of the above, it
is proposed to revise the existing wheeling and banking agreement.

5. Discussion paper on utilization of Bagasse based Co-generation plants
during off seasons using coal as fuel:
Bagasse based co-generation at present is classified as renewable source
and is allowed to use 15% coal on an annual basis as per the MNRE
guidelines. However during the off season these plants would be idling for
want of fuel for about two months. Keeping in view the present power
shortage situation it is suggested by some of the stake holders to allow use of
coal beyond 15% during off season so that the idle capacity is utilised. In this
context it is proposed to float a discussion paper in the matter to elicit views
from stake holders so that the idle capacity could be put to use.
6. Revision of standard format of PPA for NCE sources:
The Commission has issued a standard format of PPA for NCE sources some
time back. However, now some of the ESCOMs have suggested certain
modifications to be incorporated in the existing standard PPA. The
Commission proposes to revise a standard format of PPA.
7. Standard format of PPA for NCE sources with REC:
In view of the introduction of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)
mechanism some of the generators have submitted the MoUs / PPAs
executed with ESCOMs for approval of the Commission. In order to establish
a uniform format in all the ESCOMs for such MoUs / PPAs, the Commission
proposes to introduce a standard format.
8. Studies undertaken / proposed to be conducted during the year:
a) Introduction of High Voltage Distribution System
The Commission in its tariff order dated 28th October 2011 has directed
the ESCOMs to introduce HVDS in atleast one division in a rural area
during FY12. The Commission has also issued practical guidelines for
implementation of HVDS. All the ESCOMs have initiated the process for
introduction of HVDS. The Commission proposes to conduct studies of
such system to identify improvements in loss reduction and quality and
reliability of supply in rural areas.

b) Results of Niranthara Jyothi Yojanas:
The Commission in its tariff order dated 28th October 2011 has directed th
ESCOMs to complete the NJY programme during FY12. The Commission
proposes to conduct studies on the results of NJY and identify the
improvements in power supply to rural areas, IP sets and assess actual
consumption of IP sets etc.
c) Introduction of Strategic Business Unit Concept:
The Commission in its tariff order dated 28th October 2011 has directed
the ESCOMs to introduce system of strategic business unit at sub-division
level in atleast two divisions during FY12. This system has been
introduced to bring in accountability on field level functionaries. Such a
system would ensure improvements in billing and collection besides
reducing technical and commercial losses. The Commission proposes to
conduct studies to identify improvements in billing and collection as well
as reduction in technical and commercial losses.
d) Sustainability of Bio-mass based power generation:
The Commission proposes to conduct studies on financial sustainability of
bio-mass based power generation in the State. Since the fuel cost is a
widely varying parameter across the State, the variable charges need to
be assessed to achieve sustainable power generation by bio-mass
based plants.
9. Review of performance of KPTCL & ESCOMs:
The Commission has issued tariff orders for KPTCL and ESCOMs for the year
FY13 wherein certain directives have been issued for compliance by the
utilities. In this regard, the Commission proposes to review the performance
of each ESCOMs/KPTCL on technical and financial parameters and direct
the concerned to initiate necessary corrective measures.
10. Multi Year Tariff orders in respect of KPTCL and ESCOMs:
The control period of the present Multi Year Tariff order in respect of KPTCL
and ESCOMs is for FY10-13. The Commission proposes to issue Multi Year Tariff
order for the next control period beginning from FY14. This would be the third
Multi Year Tariff order to be issued by the Commission under MYT principles.

communication. The Commission has formulated Regulations in Kannada
along with their English versions. The Annual Report is also published by the
Commission in Kannada and English.
The Office of the Consumer Advocacy of the Commission is publishing a
quarterly newsletter titled “Vidyuth Balakedara” in Kannada for the benefit of
consumers.
