Proposed Transmission Charges

The Capacity Allocation to ESCOMs as proposed by KPTCL is as follows:

GESCOM / 1556 / 1805 / 1908
TOTAL / 11572 / 13477 / 14282
KPTCL has stated that, the above allocation of generation capacity is in accordance with the allocation of power as per Government Order EN 126 EMC 2010 dated 24.03.2010 which is effective from 01.04.2010.
Commission’s Analysis & Decisions:
As per the MYT Regulations, the transmission charges are to be determined based on the total capacity contracted by the ESCOMs with KPTCL.
In the hearing, some of the stakeholders have contended that there was no capacity contracted by the ESCOMs with KPTCL and hence it is not appropriate to determine transmission tariff on the basis of Generation Capacity.
In the absence of the contracted capacity, the Commission, in its order dated 25.11.2009, had considered it appropriate to adopt the allocation of installed generation capacity to the ESCOMs as made by the GoK for determination of transmission charges.
Further, it is to be noted that, the GoK has allocated capacity as well as energy from all the generation sources to each of the ESCOMs based on which the Commission is considering power purchase costs for each ESCOM. The ESCOMs have entered into power purchase agreements with the generators, based on the capacity/energy allocated by the GoK. As such, the Commission considers it appropriate to determine transmission charges payable by each ESCOM based on capacity allocation made by the GoK for the present.
The Commission hereby directs KPTCL to enter into contracts with all long-term users of the transmission system including ESCOMs before the end of the current financial year and report compliance there of to the Commission.
As per the approved ARR as detailed in the preceding chapter, the transmission charges for the control period are worked out as follows:
