In view of the unpreparedness of the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) and the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) to make the Sharing of Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses Regulations of 2010 operational by the stipulated deadline of January 1, 2011, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has decided that these norms will now be effective from April this year.- A formal notification to this effect will soon be published in the Official Gazette of India.
- These transmission charges norms were actually notified on June 16, 2010, with the date of their coming into effect to be January 1, 2011, as certain mechanism and procedures are required to be put in place by the NLDC and CTU, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), before the regulations are made operational.
- However, an extension of the original deadline became inevitable considering the actual status of preparedness of the two nodal agencies till end of December 2010.
- Importantly, PGCIL is still to submit the Draft Transmission System Agreement, Revenue Sharing Agreement and Procedure for Billing, Calculation and Disbursement to the CERC for approval.
- Again, NLDC has submitted the Point of connection charges along with basic network, nodal generation, nodal demand and load flow results to the Commission, But, it has sought time for furnishing the modified procedure after incorporating the comments of the stakeholders and the decision of the Commission on certain issues raised by them.
- The Validation Committee, constituted by the Commission, is also yet to complete the process of validation of the data related to basic network, nodal generation, nodal demand and load flow results for the subsequent years for each grid condition.
- Besides, the states want to ascertain the implication of the new method of sharing of transmission charges through calculation of actual transmission charges through both the methodologies before the same is implemented.
