Chapter 3. Performance Review for FY 2015-16 and Revised Annual Revenue Requirement

for FY 2016-17

3.1 Preamble

3.1.1 This chapter deals with the annual performance review of ARR for FY 2015-16 and

revised ARR for FY 2016-17 against as approved by the Hon’ble Commission vide MYT

order dated 29th

May 2014 and HERC tariff order dated 7th

May 2015. In order to

undertake Annual Performance Review for FY 2015-16 & Revised Annual Revenue

Requirement for FY 2016-17, various assumptions and other practical approaches have

been taken into the consideration. The same has been described in detail, while

projecting each component.

3.2 Assessment of Energy Sales for 2015-16 and 2016-17

3.2.1 In order to estimate the respective consumer category wise energy sales of DHBVNL for

the FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, the Petitioner has relied upon the CAGR of previous

year’s data for connected load, sales and the resulting consumer category wise

consumption per kW. Hence, after applying the projected load factor/ specific per kW

consumption to the projected consumer category wise connected load, the consumer

category wise sales for the FY 2015-16 have been arrived at. The methodology applied

by the petitioner for estimating the metered sales is as under:-

3.2.2 The category-wise connected load and energy sales for the FY 2009-10, FY 2010-11, FY

2011-12, FY 2012-13, FY 2013-14 & FY 2014-15 were considered.

3.2.3 The category wise connected load for the FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 is arrived at by

multiplying full year category wise connected load for the FY 2014-15 with the analysed

respective full year category wise 5 year CAGR of connected load.

3.2.4 The category wise energy sales of the FY 2015-16 is calculated by multiplying category

wise connected load above for the FY 2015-16 with consumption per kW calculated for

FY 2015-16 based on the analysed category wise actual consumption per kW pattern for

past 3 years.

[Dec-15] Page 15

3.2.5 The category wise energy sales of the FY 2016-17 is calculated by multiplying category

wise connected load above for the FY 2016-17 with consumption per kW calculated for

FY 2016-17 based on the analysed category wise actual consumption per kW pattern for

past 3 years

3.2.6 Agriculture consumption for the FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 is calculated by assuming a

growth rate of 5% in actual sales over the year FY 2014-15 reported by the feeder level

data and as per the methodology adopted by the Hon’ble commission in previous tariff

orders.

3.2.7 Under the exception case of DMRC sales projection for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 has

been estimated based on first six month actual consumption for FY 2015-16 available

with DHBVN. It has been observed that DMRC operation in Faridabad started from

September 2015, before starting its operation in Faridabad, DMRC has conducted

number of trial runs. Hence, the sales of first half accounted around 28 MUs. Further,

based on historical unit per kW consumption of DMRC, the sale for FY 2015-16 and FY

2016-17 has been projected as 65 MUs respectively. Hence, keeping the above basis in

view, DHBVNL envisages the expected sales figures in following table:

[Dec-15] Page 16

3.2.8 DHBVNL request Hon’ble Commission to approve energy sales, as per revised

projections for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 tabulated above.

3.3 Energy Availability for Haryana

3.3.1 For FY 2015-16, energy availability has been projected by taking into consideration

actual power received from all stations from April 2015 to September 2015, i.e. the first

six months of the current financial year, as received from HPPC.

3.3.2 The actual data for April 2015 - September 2015 was available from the HPPC. The

power purchase in second half of FY 2015-16 has been projected on the proportion of

53:47 over the actual power purchase done in first half of FY 2015-16. Due to

peculiarities of geography, weather and the local economy, Haryana has historically

power demand and hence the power purchase in the ratio of 53:47. The year FY 2014-

15 was also no exception.

3.3.3 The short-term purchase in the current year i.e. FY 2015-16 has been retained at the

same quantum as already purchased in the current year till September 2015 and hence

no short term power purchase is envisaged in Second half of 2015-16.

3.3.4 The power purchase quantum for UHBVN and DHBVN have been divided on the same

proportion (44:56) as existed in FY 2014-15 w.r.t. total power purchase for each of the

discom.

3.3.5 The fixed cost for conventional long term power plants have been computed based on

the normative fixed cost of each plant over its quantum while the actual variable cost as

paid by HPPC for FY 2015-16 has been considered for the estimated quantum for the

second half of the year.

3.3.6 The rate for power purchase for renewable and nuclear power plants have been

assumed to be equal to average rate of power purchased during first half of FY 2015-16

as received from HPPC.

3.3.7 For 2016-17 the approved quantum for power purchase from various stations are

considered subject to variations in case of upcoming stations that are given below:

[Dec-15] Page 17

• DV Raghunthpur

• Rampur H.E.P

• Teesta III

• Barh II

• PTC Lanco Amarkantak

3.3.8 Additionally for FY 2016-17, the power purchase and rate for the following stations have

been taken as equal to that projected for FY 2015-16; as they are expected to provide

power congruently in FY 2016-17 as well. Consequently, the extra power purchase from

HPGCL has been reduced as the power from the following stations is cheaper

comparatively:

• PTC GMR KAMALANGA

• PTC KARCHAMWANGTOO

3.3.9 For the FY 2016-17 approved quantum as per the MYT order dated 29.04.2014 has been

considered and multiplied with the summation of per unit normative fixed cost and

actual variable cost escalated with 3% as considered by the commission in the MYT

order dated 29th

May 2014.

3.3.10 The intra state and interstate transmission charges for FY 2016-17 have been taken as

approved by the Hon’ble Commission vide MYT tariff order dated 29th

May 2014.

3.3.11 It may be kindly noted that the plant wise rates indicated for FY 2015-16 in annexure

A(1) are unit rate considering normative Fixed and actual variable charge for

conventional long term power plants and considering both Fixed and Variable Charges

based on actual billing done between April 2015 till September 2015 for non-

conventional power plants and hence lower energy draw down in a particular time slot

than the scheduled energy as per the PPAs signed may result in higher unit rates than

normative charges.

3.3.12 However Plant wise Rates indicated for FY 2016-17 in annexure A(2) are unit rates

considering normative Fixed and Variable Charges for FY 2015-16 escalated as per the

escalation norm of ~ 3% under MYT order dated 29th

May 2014.

[Dec-15] Page 18

3.3.13 Further for FY 2015-16, based on the current scenario, back down of 1588 MUs (56 % of

Total Back down units: 2835 MUs) has been considered as per Energy Balance indicated

in Table 6

3.3.14 However for FY 2016-17, no back down is considered and the entire surplus power

available has been considered to be sold as inter-state sales, despite in practice Nigam

may decide to back down thereby reducing losses by just paying the fixed charges.

3.3.15 The details of power purchase quantum, amount (for within and outside state) and

other applicable charges has been tabulated below. Source wise detailed power

purchase for the state of Haryana and DHBVN has been shown under Annexure-A.

3.3.16 The Nigam has assumed that the surplus power available will be sold entirely as ‘inter-

state sales’ throughout the FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 at average variable power

purchase cost excluding transmission charges. However, in practice i.e. during lower

demand or surplus availability the Nigam shall resort to boxing down of plants thereby

reducing losses by just paying fixed cost for box-down units and turning out the loss

incurred in inter-state sale of power;

3.3.17 The Nigam prays that in case of any variance in the cost of new plants, the Nigam should

be allowed to recover the additional cost.

3.3.18 The total power purchase cost from external and state sources including transmission

charges for DHBVN has been assessed at Rs. 12,261.67 Cr. for FY 2015-16 and Rs.

13,730.20 Cr. for 2016-17.

3.4 Transmission losses

3.4.1 For the FY 2015-16, the inter-state transmission losses and intra-state transmission

losses have been considered as 3.82% and 2.48% respectively. However for the FY 2016-

17, the inter-state transmission losses and intra-state transmission losses have been

considered as 3.82% and 2.46% respectively, as approved by the Commission.

3.5 Distribution losses

3.5.1 For FY 2015-16 and 2016-17, the distribution losses of DHBVN have been projected as

24.47 % and 21.70 % respectively.

[Dec-15] Page 20

3.6 Transmission Charges

3.6.1 The intra state and interstate transmission charges for FY 2016-17 have been taken as

approved by the Hon’ble Commission vide MYT tariff order dated 29th

May 2014.

3.6.2 As per the MYT Order for 2014-15 to 2016-17, the Hon’ble Commission has allowed the

transmission charges for both the Utilities Rs. 805 Cr. for FFY 2015-16 and same amount

for FY 2016-17.

3.6.3 For FY 2015-16 inter-state transmission charges and Intra state transmission charges

have been projected on the basis of the actual details available from HPPC, by

proportional estimates in FY 2014-15.

3.6.4 It is submitted that the amount of Rs. 805 Cr. has been divided between both the

Discoms based on the actual power drawl ratio of individual Discoms. On the same

presumption, the detailed RE transmission charges for Discoms for the period of FY

2015-16 and FY 2016-17 has been tabulated below:

3.8 Operation & Maintenance Expenses

3.8.1 The operation and maintenance expenditure of DHBVNL comprises of Employee

Expenses, Repair & Maintenance expenses and Administration & General expenses. The

[Dec-15] Page 24

O&M expenses, as per the MYT regulations, 2012 are considered as controllable Factor

with the exception of terminal benefits. The cost of terminal benefits has been

considered as uncontrollable factor.

3.8.2 The MYT Regulations have clearly set out the methodology to calculate the O&M

expenses for the Distribution and Retail supply business for the control period, the same

is reproduced below:

The actual audited O & M expenses for the financial year preceding the base year,

subject to prudence check, shall be escalated at the escalation factor of 4% to arrive at

the O & M expenses for the base year of the control period. The O&M expenses for the

nth year of the control period shall be approved based on the formula given below.

O&Mn = (R&Mn + EMPn + A&Gn)* (1-Xn) + Terminal Liabilities

Where,

• R&Mn – Repair and Maintenance Costs of the Distribution Licensee(s) for

the nth year;

• EMPn – Employee Costs of the Distribution Licensee(s) for the nth year

excluding terminal liabilities;

• A&Gn – Administrative and General Costs of the Distribution Licensee(s)

for the nth year;

The above components shall be computed in the following manner.

(a) R&Mn = K * GFA * INDXn / INDXn-1

Where,

• ‘K’ is a constant (expressed in %) governing the relationship between

O&M costs and Gross Fixed Assets (GFA) for the nth year. The value of K

will be 1.65% for DHBVN and UHBVN respectively for the entire control

period;

• ‘GFA’ is the average value of the gross fixed asset of the nth year.

[Dec-15] Page 25

• ‘INDXn’ means the inflation factor for the nth year as defined herein

after.

(b) EMPn (excluding terminal liabilities) + A&Gn = (EMPn-1+A&Gn1)*(INDXn/ INDXn-1)

Where,

• INDXn – Inflation Factor to be used for indexing the Employee Cost and

A&G cost. This will be a combination of the Consumer Price Index (CPI)

and the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for immediately preceding year and

shall be calculated as under:

• INDXn = 0.55*CPIn +0.45*WPIn.

Note 1: For the purpose of estimation, the same INDXn value shall be used for all

years of the control period. However, the Commission shall consider the actual

values of the INDXn at the end of each year during the annual performance

review exercise and true-up the employee cost and A&G expenses on account of

this variation.

Note 2: Any variation in employee cost and A&G cost on account of reasons

beyond variation in INDXn shall be subject to the incentive and penalty

framework specified in regulation 12.

Note 3: As and when any material price index specific to power sector or a more relevant

Index becomes available, the same shall replace the Index used for working out R&M

cost.

Note 4: Terminal liabilities shall be approved as per actual expenditure incurred

by the distribution licensee or established through actuarial valuation for the

ensuing year.

Note 5: O&M expenses made on account of extraordinary situations (if any) shall

be submitted to Commission for its approval. Such expenses shall be filed

separately and will not be subjected to incentive and penalty framework. The

approved amount by the Commission shall be trued up in the annual

performance review.

[Dec-15] Page 26

Note 6: Changes in the pay scales of employees necessitated on account of pay

revision by Pay Commission or by the State Government orders shall be

considered by the Commission for true-up during the annual performance review.

(c) Xn is an efficiency factor for nth year

The Value of Xn will be determined by the Commission in the MYT order for the

control period.

3.9 Computation of Inflationary Indices

3.9.1 The computation of applicable Inflationary Indices for the projection of O&M expenses

3.14.2 The petitioner projects the non-tariff income, in line with the approved figures for FY

2015-16 and FY 2016-17 by Hon’ble Commission as 149.83 and 170.01 respectively.

Non-Tariff Income 149.83 149.83 170.01

3.14.3 The Petitioner further submits that delayed payment surcharge is collected against the

receivables from the consumers that are not received in time. As there is a delay in

receiving the revenue, the Nigam has to procure additional working capital. Therefore,

the revenue received on account of delayed payment surcharges is not an income of the

Nigam, rather it’s a carrying cost recovered from consumers to pay the interest on the

increased portion of working capital which occur because of delay in receiving the

revenue. Therefore, it is requested that the revenue from delayed payment surcharge

should not be considered as income of the Nigam.

3.14.4 DHBVN prays the Hon’ble Commission to approve non-tariff income for FY 2015-16 and

FY 2016-17 as tabulated above after adjusting the income on account of delayed

payment surcharge.

3.15 Capital Expenditure

3.15.1 The Hon’ble Commission has approved a Capex Plan of Rs 867.29 Cr. for

FY 2015-16. However, against the same based on the available half yearly details of

capital expenditure done by DHBVN, it has estimated to undertake an expenditure of Rs.

701.35 Cr. for FY 2015-16 and Rs. 1431.50 Cr. for FY 2016-17.

3.16 CWIP & GFA workings

3.16.1 Capital Work in Progress for the control period has been projected on the basis of

estimated capital expenditure and the capitalization schedule assuming 70% transfer of

total Capex (including the CWIP carry forwarded from the previous year and capex

added during the year) to fixed assets and 30% transfer of total Capex to capital works

in progress (CWIP) for each year of operation.

3.16.2 While estimating CWIP, it is assumed that 70% of the opening balance of CWIP and fresh

capital investment shall be capitalized during each year of operation.

3.16.3 Based on the estimated capital expenditure and capitalization schedule, the gross fixed

assets (GFA) are estimated for each year of the Control Period. The category wise

[Dec-15] Page 34

additions have been estimated on the basis of the category wise additions made during

the previous year.

3.16.4 The CWIP & GFA of DHBVN for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 is shown in the table below:

3.17.1 As per Regulation 20.1 of HERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Tariff for

Generation, Transmission, Wheeling and Distribution & Retail Supply under Multi Year

Tariff Framework) Regulations, 2012; the rate of return on equity shall be decided on

the basis of overall performance subject to a ceiling of 14% provided that the ROE shall

not be less than the net amount of incentive and penalty.

a portion of Capital Expenditure planned by the Utility in order to improve the system

and to achieve further loss reduction. Disallowing RoE on the context of financial

performance deprives the Discom of an indispensable source of internal accrual which is

more important in view of the financially constrained position that makes it very difficult

for it to borrow funds from the market to fund basic capital expenditure. Moreover,

DHBVN would like to state that it has submitted an application against Review of HERC

MYT Regulations 2012 wherein it has requested the Hon’ble Commission to allow the

RoE at a rate of 14%.

3.17.4 The petitioner requests Hon’ble Commission to approve the computation of return on

equity for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, as tabulated above.

3.18 Interest & Finance Charges

3.18.1 As per Regulation 21 of HERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Tariff for

worked out as the gross loan in accordance with regulation 19 by

deducting the cumulative repayment as admitted by the Commission

up to 31st March of previous financial year from the gross normative

loan;

(iii) The rate of interest shall be the weighted average rate of interest on

institutional loans calculated on the basis of the actual loan portfolio

at the beginning of each year applicable to the project. In case the

weighted average rate is not available, the interest rate approved by

the Commission in its earlier tariff order shall be allowed.

Provided that if there is no actual loan for a particular year but normative loan

is still outstanding, the last available weighted average rate of interest shall be

considered;

Provided further that if the generating plant/project does not have actual loan,

then the weighted average rate of interest of the generating company/licensee

as a whole shall be considered

(iv) The interest on loan shall be calculated on the normative average

loan of the year by applying the weighted average rate of interest;

(v) The generating company and the licensee shall from time to time

review their capital structure i.e. debt and equity and make every

effort to restructure the loan portfolio as long as it results in net

savings on interest. The costs associated with such re-financing shall

the cost of re- financing) shall be subjected to incentive / penalty

framework as mentioned in the regulation 12 which shall be dealt

with at the time of mid-year performance review/true-up.

parties may approach the Commission with proper application along

with all the relevant details. During the pendency of any dispute, the

beneficiaries shall not withhold any payment on account of orders

issued by the Commission.

(viii) In case any moratorium period on repayment of loan is availed of

by the generating company or the licensee, depreciation provided

for in the tariff during the years of moratorium shall be treated as

repayment during those years and interest on loan capital shall be

calculated accordingly.

(i) Rate of interest on new loans shall be equal to the base rate of SBI as

applicable on 1st April of the relevant financial year plus an

appropriate margin that realistically reflects the rate at which

generating company or the licensee can raise loans from the market.

They shall however, be required to submit due justification to the

Commission for the terms and conditions of the loans raised by them.

Provided that interest and finance charges on works in progress shall be

excluded and shall be considered as part of the capital cost;

Provided further that neither penal interest nor overdue interest shall be

allowed for computation of Tariff

(ii) Any variation above or below the allowed interest rate shall be

subject to the incentive and penalty framework specified in regulation

12.

(iii) The amount of loan shall be arrived in the manner as specified in

3.19 Depreciation

3.19.1 For FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, DHBVN has estimated depreciation charges on the basis

of estimated additions in GFA as per the capital investment plan for the FY 2015-16. The

[Dec-15] Page 42

transfer of total Capex to fixed asset has been considered as 70%. Based on the Capex

done from April 2015 to September 2015, the Capex is estimated to be Rs. 701.35 Cr. in

FY 2015-16 and Capex during FY 2016-17 has been projected as Rs. 1431.50 Cr.

3.19.2 For the purpose of projecting depreciation charges for FY 2015-16, the licensee has

considered the category-wise actual depreciation rates (as a percentage of opening

balance of asset-class-wise GFA for that year).

3.20 True up of RE subsidy for FY 2014-15

3.20.1 The total agricultural sales approved by the Hon’ble Commission in FY 2014-15 were

8097 MUs and against the same a subsidy of Rs. 5284.10 Crs. for UHBVN and DHBVN

was allowed. This amounts to a per unit subsidy of Rs. 6.53/unit. Based on the feeder

data, the actual agricultural sales, following HERC methodology of 16% losses on AP

Feeder data emerges to 4057.73 MUs for UHBVN and 4664.52 MUs for DHBVN.

3.20.2 Therefore, for total sales of 8,722.25 MUs, the eligibility of subsidy emerges to Rs.

5,692.14 Cr. (8722.25 MUs*Rs. 6.53 per unit). Consequently, post true up, the surplus

subsidy emerges to Rs. 408.04 Cr.

3.21 Revenue Estimation

3.21.1 The revenue calculations have been done considering the Average Billing Rate (ABR) of

FY 2015-16 and the category wise sales estimated for FY 2015-16. Category wise ABR is

estimated based on the actual revenue collected divided by actual units billed in first half

of FY 2015-16. For AP consumers ABR has been taken as 10 paisa per unit. The ABR

achieved as above is being used for revenue estimation for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17,

the details of revenue calculations have been given below:

3.22 Revenue on account of Open Access Charges

3.22.1 Additional Surcharge (INR 0.50 per unit) was introduced in Haryana via HERC order dated

29th

May 2014. In this regard, DHBVN is collecting the charges from Open access

consumers, these consumers are currently classified as Embedded consumers and hence

the revenue accrued from open access charges (Cross Subsidy as well as Additional

Surcharge) is classified as SOP charges in the Accounts. Hence, The estimated ABR has in

built currently applicable open access charges

3.22.2 Further regarding the Additional Surcharge, HERC vide order No HERC/PRO-05 of

2015dated 16th

November has approved an additional surcharge to 84 paisa per unit on

the power drawn under the open access mechanism. The impact of INR 0.34 per unit of

open access power(increase in additional surcharge from INR 0.50 to INR 0.84 per unit of

[Dec-15] Page 45

open access power) for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 has been estimated as follows :

the Hon’ble Commission is requested to approve the same.

3.23 Revenue from inter-state sales

3.23.1 Revenue from inter-state sales projected for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 has been

considered at average variable power purchase cost excluding transmission charges.

3.23.2 The Nigam has assumed that the surplus power available will be sold entirely as ‘inter-

state sales’ throughout the FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 at average variable power

purchase cost excluding transmission charges. The estimated revenue from interstate

sales for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17 has been worked out as below:

3.24.2 The Hon’ble Commission is requested to consider the combined agriculture subsidy of

Rs. 6196.91 Cr. as approved vide tariff order dated 07.5.2015 for both the discoms, for FY

2015-16 and the same has been calculated to be Rs. 7443.91 Cr. for both the discoms for

FY 2016-17. The Hon’ble commission is requested to consider separate allocation of RE

subsidy for both the Discoms for FY 2015-16, FY 2016-17 and onwards, being separate

licensees and further keeping in the view that the income tax authority may object and

penalize the utility considering the intercompany transfer of subsidies by treating the

same as the “transfer of revenue” under the provisions of Income Tax Act. The Hon’ble

Commission is also request to kindly approve the allocation of RE subsidy made by

utilities for FY 14 & FY 15 as per HERC methodology.

3.25 Revenue from FSA

3.25.1 Revenue from FSA has been calculated for the existing FSAs (except recovery from the

[Dec-15] Page 49

quarterly FSA for power purchase in FY 2015-16). The FSA recoveries vide HERC order

dated 19.03.2015 have been considered in FY 2015-16 for the entire year and the

balance recovery over the estimated sales is assumed to be recovered in FY 2016-17 The

recovery from the FSA for FY 2014-15 has not been included in the revenue from FSA.

Chapter 5. Recovery of Gaps

5.1 Recovery of Gaps

5.1.1 The cumulative revenue gap from FY 2014-15 to FY 2016-17 is estimated to be

Rs 8405.64 Cr. after taking into consideration the revenue gaps, holding costs and

subsidies to be availed and excluding FSA income.

5.1.2 Government of India has notified Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) scheme for

operational and financial turnaround of power distribution companies (DISCOMs), on

20th

Nov 2015 under which State shall take over 75% of Discom debt as on 30th

September, 2015 over two years – 50% of Discom debt shall be taken over in FY 2015-16

and 25% in FY 2016-17.

5.1.3 The implementation of UDAY would lead to changes in the projections of interest and

finance charges for the Discoms which will further change the revenue requirement of

the Discoms. It has been decided in-principle to implement the UDAY scheme in

Haryana Discoms, however, the details of the same are still being worked upon by the

Discoms and State Government. Thereafter, the same shall be placed before the State

Cabinet for approval. Subsequently, the Discoms shall submit revised numbers before

the Hon’ble Commission once decision on UDAY scheme has been taken.

Dec-15 Page 53

Chapter 6. Other Submission to the Hon’ble Commission

1. The tariff to be charged for building used partly or exclusively for PG (Paying Guest)

purposes may be defined by the Hon’ble Commission.

It is proposed that the building being used exclusively by the owner for paying guest purposes is

merely akin to hostel run by various institutions where all the facilities related to fooding and

lodging are provided by the individuals running such PGs and hence, the intent of the owner is

to maximize earning out of his constructed space/building. Therefore, it is proposed that in

such cases, NDS tariff should be made applicable.

However, in the cases where a part of space is used for purpose of PG and the family members

of the owners are also residing in the same building then the Hon’ble Commission may consider

allowing domestic tariff subject to certain limitation on no. of paying guests residing in such

residential building. Further beyond the allowed limits, Hon’ble Commission may consider

levying of NDS tariff for entire load being used for PG purposes and the owners should cater to

the electricity requirement through a separate connection under NDS category and in such

cases there should be no intermingling of supply of different categories.

2. The Petitioner humbly submits that a surcharge of Rs 0.20 per unit is imposed on

ARC/Induction furnaces/steel rolling furnaces. The Hon’ble Commission is requested

to clarify whether this surcharge is also applicable on furnaces used for Aluminum

metal.

In this context, it is submitted that M/s SRS Die-casting Pvt. Ltd., 132, Roz-Ka- Meo, Industrial

Estate, Sohna, Distt., Mewat has got an electricity connection bearing A/C No. G41-INTH-0051

RLS-75 under Operation Sub-Division, DHBVN, Sohna. The consumer had filed a case before

Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Hisar regarding charging of furnace charges by the

respondent Nigam as per Sales Manual, 2013 (Fifth Edition) of DHBVN, instruction No. 5.5, (iii)

on page No.102 (Annexure-A) as they do not melt steel but they melt aluminum in the furnace.

The complainant has deposited the amount under protest and requested for refund the same.

The Forum concluded and decided that as per instruction No. 5.5 (iii) on Page No. 102 of the

DHBVNL Sales Manual, 2013 Fifth Edition furnace charge is leviable only for "all Arc furnaces,

mixed load of Arc furnaces and steel rolling mills, all other steel furnaces (including induction

Dec-15 Page 54

furnaces and stainless steel furnaces), Steel Rolling Mills (including cold rolling/re-rolling,

steel/stainless steel mills), mixed load of such steel furnaces and steel rolling mills, which are

being given supply on 11 KV".

It has been found & verified that SRS Die-casting Pvt. Ltd. Unit-ll, 132, Roz-Ka-Meo, industrial

Estate, Sohna, Distt. Mewat (HR.)-122103 is not engaged in any of the activities mentioned in

the above sales instruction viz.

1. Consumer does not have any arc furnaces.

2. Consumer is not engaged in steel rolling/re-rolling.

3. Consumer does not have any induction and/or stainless steel furnaces.

4. Consumer is not engaged in cold rolling/re-rolling steel/stainless steel

Main difference between Aluminium Melting & Steel Melting.

Sr. No. Aluminium Steel

1. Low melting temp.( 650 C) High melting temp. ( 1500 C)

2. Zero inductive load Very high inductive load

3. Low peak load Very high peak load

Due to this difference in physical properties of steel as compared to aluminium, special high

load furnaces are unused for processing steel. Due to this, DHBVN has made special provision

for steel melting/processing alone. Aluminium processing does not fall under this category.

Instead of opting for a standard furnace, the consumer has purchased a "thyristor" controlled

furnace. The biggest advantage is, unlike the ON/OFF function of thermostat, these furnaces

remain ON continuously and use power based on the melting speed required. The respondent

SDO in his reply has charged the furnace charges due to the use of furnace only which is not

accepted by the Forum.

Thus as per above findings, the Forum decided vide order dated 26.05.2014 that the consumer

should be exempted of these charges as they do not fall under this category. All charges paid

under this should be reversed immediately and it should be ensured that these charges are not

put in any future bills from now onwards.

In this context, the consumer filed a case before Electricity Ombudsman, Haryana regarding

non-implementation of order of CGRF vide Appeal Case No. 22/2015. Which has been decided

Dec-15 Page 55

by The Electricity Ombudsman vide order dated 27.0.72015 , the operating part of which is

reproduced as under:-

“Before the above appeal is considered on merits, it would be worthwhile if we

understand the provision of extra surcharge on Arc Furnaces in the tariff

structure. Heating/melting of metals in industry is a normal phenomena. Heating

can be done by induction furnaces, Arc furnaces and simple resistance furnaces.

In case of arc furnaces, as the name suggests, the heating is achieved by

producing arc in the electric circuits. In induction type heating is achieved by way

of transferring energy through induction wherein the charge is a part of the

electro- magnetic circuit. Eddy currents are produced in the Charge due to

induction which leads to heating of the mass of the metal. In case of the

resistance furnaces heating is achieved by simple conduction from the heating

elements to the metal held in crucibles. Arc furnace loads are jerking loads and

lead to generation of harmonic currents, thereby straining and spoiling the

quality of grid supply. Only because of this reason an extra surcharge is levied on

arc furnaces. Similarly, induction furnaces are hugely inductive in nature and

draw lot of reactive power.

In the instant case, the appellant consumer has installed small 60 KW

purely resistive load furnaces and do not come under the category of arc

furnaces. The contention of the respondents department before CGRF that

‘furnace is a furnace’ as such surcharge is applicable cannot be accepted. The

resistance furnaces do not have jerk load nor inductive load and do not lead to

straining of the system unnecessarily like Arc Furnaces and Induction loads. The

CGRF has rightly allowed the complaint and ordered “that the appellant

consumer should be exempted of these charges and do not fall under the

category of arc furnace. All charges paid under this should be reversed

immediately and it should be insured that these charges are not put in any future

bills from now onwards”.

In view of the above facts, it may please be clarified whether surcharge approved by Hon’ble

Commission from time to time for arc/ and steel rolling induction furnaces is leviable on all type

of furnaces including such type of furnaces used for melting of aluminum metal, in case

consumer is receiving supply at 11KV.

Dec-15 Page 56

3. The Hon’ble Commission is requested to clarify whether milk chilling/ water chilling

plant is to be categorized under Industry or NDS tariff.

It is proposed that milk chilling plant/water chilling plant although does not involve

manufacture of any product nor change in state/shape of raw material and does not fall under

the definition of manufacture but the bulk of the load for such plants is motive.

Hence from the perspective of applicability of electricity tariff, the same should be categorized

under Industrial category.

4. The Petitioner submits that the R&D units have been categorized under NDS tariff. The

Hon’ble Commission is requested to clarify whether this categorization holds good for

such R&D units where bulk of the load is motive and used for development and

testing thereof of the prototype units before its mass production at some other

location.

In this case, it is proposed that Hon’ble commission may consider levying of industrial tariff on

R&D units in terms of capping in percentage terms of motive load percentage viz-a-viz total

load.

5. Subsidized Tariff for Registered Gaushala

In view of announcement made by Hon’ble CM, Haryana on 18.01.2007 and conveyed vide

FC&PS Power Department (Memo No. 2/1/2007-1 Power dated Chandigarh 14/8/2007,

electricity tariff to Gaushala registered with the Animal Husbandry Department is being charged

@ 200 Paise per unit w.e.f. 1/6/2007 in accordance with Sales Circular No. D-58/2007.

However, the maximum rebate in bill/subsidy amount shall not exceed Rs. 2000/- per month

per Gaushala. As such, the Honb’le Commission may consider and categorize Registered

Gaushala under separate Tariff Category.

6. Discount of 10 paise per unit in domestic tariff rates to women in case properties are

owned by woman and the domestic electricity connection is in the name of that

woman on that property.

In view of decision taken by the Government of Haryana, it has been notified by DHBVN vide

Sales Instruction No. 37/2005 to give concession of 10 paise per unit for domestic electricity

Dec-15 Page 57

connection in the name of woman in case that property is owned by woman w.e.f 22.08.2005.

The Hon’ble Commission may consider and allow the concession in the Tariff order with

appropriate directions.

7. Additional losses to Discoms due to Open Access

In the tariff order dated 07.05.2015, the Hon’ble Commission had allowed 7.55% distribution

losses on open access units for using distribution network. This loss is compensated by way of

wheeling charge from the open access consumers at normative cost of power purchase. In

DHBVN, distribution losses are more than normative distribution losses and thus increased cost

of power purchase on such units (7.55% loss) is not recovered through the FSA mechanism

resulting loss to be DHBVN at the cost of open access consumers.

Hence, the Hon’ble Commission is requested to allow DISCOMS to deduct % loss as estimated

by the Hon’ble Commission for FY 2016-17 from the open access unit instead of its

compensation by way of wheeling charge or some other mechanism of such recovery from

open access consumer may be provided.

Dec-15 Page 58

Chapter 7. Prayers to the Commission:

The petitioner respectfully prays that the Hon’ble Commission may:

a) Take the accompanying current APR filing of DHBVN on record and accept the petition

for filing including requests for true up of expenses and revenue for FY 2014-15, Re-

estimated ARR gap for FY 2015-16 and re-projected ARR gap for FY 2016-17.

b) Treat the current APR filing as complete in view of substantial compliance as also the

specific requests for waivers with justification placed on record.

c) Allow DHBVN to make revised / supplementary submissions pursuant to final decision

and workings on account of implementation of UDAY scheme.

d) The Hon’ble commission is requested to consider separate allocation of RE subsidy for

both the Discoms for FY 2015-16, FY 2016-17 and onwards, being separate licensees and

further keeping in the view that the income tax authority may object and penalize the

utility considering the intercompany transfer of subsidies by treating the same as the

“transfer of revenue” under the provisions of Income Tax Act. The Hon’ble Commission

is also request to kindly approve the allocation of RE subsidy made by utilities for FY 14

& FY 15 as per HERC methodology as exhibited below.

(Cr.)

Allocation of subsidy released by GoH among DISCOMs for FY 2013-14 & 2014-15

Year RE subsidy/FSA Subsidy Released

by GoH during the year UHBVN DHBVN

2013-14 5200.00 3405.17 1794.83

2014-15 5234.63 3136.59 2098.04

e) The Hon’ble Commission may consider appropriate order with regard to concession

allowed in the tariff in respect of registered Gausalas, women consumers.

Dec-15 Page 59

f) To condone any inadvertent omissions/errors/shortcomings and permit DHBVN to

add/change/modify/alter this filing with revised figures as may be required at a future

date.

g) Pass such Order, as the Hon’ble Commission may deem fit and appropriate keeping in

view the facts and circumstances of the case submitted by the Petitioner.
