CERC revises fixed charges for NTPC's Anta, Kawas power stations

Following a petition from NTPC, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has revised the fixed annual tariff for the utility's 419.33 MW Anta Gas Power Station (GPS) Stage-I, for the period April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2009.

  • This revision was required on account of additional capital expenditure incurred by the power major during the year 2008-09 and a revisit of capital expenses made over 2004-08. 
  • Accordingly, the revised annual fixed charges for the project stand at Rs 85.87 crore (2004-05), Rs 87.29 crore (2005-06), Rs 91.04 crore (2006-07), Rs 97.80 crore (2007-08) and Rs 104.52 crore (2008-09), respectively.
  • Similarly, the Commission has modified the fixed charges for NTPC's 656.20 MW Kawas GPS for the 2004-09 period due to additional capital expenditure incurred during the years 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08. 
  • The revised fixed charges for these years have been worked out to be Rs 287.29  crore (2004-05), Rs 242.16 crore ( 2005-06), Rs 244.61 crore (2006-07), Rs 247.22 crore (2007-08) and Rs 253.11 crore (2008-09).
  • While a total of 14 northern-region beneficiaries of Anta GPS will bear the difference between the previously stipulated charges and those now approved by CERC for the power station, in three equal monthly installments, seven western-region beneficiaries of Kawas GPS will have to share the changes to the power station's fixed charges.
