New Year Greetings

Dear Readers,

As we mark a new beginning, I wish all our readers a Happy and Prosperous New Year, 2017. May this year brings you abundant opportunities, prosperity and success. New year symbolizes a new start to make new innings with a new perspective.

Indian power sector is set to enter the next phase in 2017 with a promising focus on distribution reforms, reduced reliance on imported coal and further expansion of renewable energy generation. The total installed capacity increased by almost 12% from 276 GW in 2015 to 309 GW in year 2016. On renewable energy front, the government plans to add about 20 GW capacity on an annual basis to the already existing capacity of 47GW, to realize the ambitious target of 175 GW by 2022.

An extensive network of transmission lines has been developed over the last few years to evacuate power produced from the generating stations spread across the country and distributing the same to consumers. The year that went by saw significant augmentation of transmission network which also addressed the transmission congestion challenge faced by power exchanges especially in import of power to southern region as well as northern region. At IEX, transmission congestion reduced by about 29% to 1761 MUs in 2016 compared to 2,476 MUs lost in 2015.

With syncing of southern grid in harmony with the NEW Grid, the exchange saw many instances when spot power market was cleared at one uniform price for the entire country, for entire days leading to One Nation, One Grid and One Price implying no transmission congestion across the country. In 2016, the nationwide single price for electricity was discovered at the Exchange platform on 27 occasions.

With low pace of growth in demand and ample availability of generation the exchange platform saw low Market Clearing Price (MCP) of ` 2.40 per unit, about 15% lower than ` 2.82 per unit in the previous year.

DeskMD & CEOMessage from the

02 | www.iexindia.com

In last few years, IEX has seen impressive growth of about 20-25% on an annual basis. Particularly, in 2016, IEX crossed several new milestones and I would like to take this opportunity to briefly describe these achievements:

z IEX maintained its leadership position with about 98% market share in electricity market with significant quantum on the sell side and buyer friendly prices. A new record of highest ever daily trade of 144 MUs was set on 6th October, ‘16. The DAM saw the highest monthly trade of 3,630 MUs in September, ‘16.

z The Inter-State Generating Stations of NTPC, OTPC etc traded Un-Requisitioned Surplus (URS) power at the Exchange.

z In December, 2016 IEX filed petition in CERC in seeking regulatory consent to introduce solar and non-solar contracts in the Green-DAM, a separate platform, which is collective in nature to facilitate trade in green energy (green attribute plus electricity)in order to help the obligated entities offset their solar and non-solar RPOs.

z IEX also took the initiative of introducing Cross border trade in electricity on its platform with neighbouring countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The recently notified MoP Guidelines allows trade with neighbouring countries through Term Ahead Market on Power exchanges.

z Several new regulatory initiatives were initiated by CERC such as General Network Access (GNA), Staff Paper on National Open Access Registry (NOAR), Energy Saving Certificates Regulation and Ancillary Service Operation Regulation in order to further growth and demand in the sector.

With CERC pro-actively re-aligning the regulatory framework in line with fast changing necessities, as well as new regulatory initiatives, IEX expects to see the trading in ESCerts, trading with our neighboring countries, greater liquidity in the DAM, Term Ahead Market and REC Market in 2017 and ahead.

It is a pleasure to share that in August, IEX achieved the distinction of becoming the first power exchange in India to accomplish three ISO Certifications: ISO 9001:2008 for Quality Management, ISO 27001:2013 for Information Security Management and ISO 14001:2004 for Environment Management.

Further we also launched several CSR initiatives with an aim to support social initiatives like promoting electrification through decentralized renewable energy application, empowering children through education and by providing mid-day meals; livelihood creation for youth through development of vocational skills, women empowerment, healthcare for elderly etc. in collaboration with various credible NGOs with support from Next Gen.

Last but not the least the Exchange won the recognition of “Leader in Market Development” Award at the India Power Award 2015 ceremony organised by Council of Power Utilities in April 2016.

On that promising note, I again wish you all a very Happy New Year, 2017!!

With Warm Regards,

S.N. GoelManaging Director and CEO

CERC proposes draft Fifth Amendment to IEGC Regulations

On 9.12.2016 CERC proposed fifth amendment to IEGC Regulations. The summary of proposed major amendments is as below:

� Spinning Reserves: Spinning reserves means the Capacity which can be activated on direction of the system operator and which is provided by devices including generating stations/units, which are synchronized to the grid and able to effect the change in active power.

� Nodal Agency: NLDC shall be the nodal agency for collective transactions and Ancillary Services including Spinning Reserves.

� Amendment has been suggested to exclude the gas stations/combined cycle power stations from the list of exempted power stations which were not required to provide primary response through governor action.

� Tariff Policy dated 28.1.2016 introduced certain provisions to utilize the URS of ISGSs. In order to incorporate the above provisions amendments have been proposed in Regulation 6.5:

− To meet the time line in NTP 2016 i.e. ISGS shall receive communication regarding URS from the procurers at least 24 hours before 00.00 hours of the day of scheduling. The scheduling is proposed to start at 1 PM on D-2 day if D is the day on which implemented schedules are applicable.

− After schedules are given by original beneficiaries as per their entitlement, the original beneficiaries will have first right to give requisition. Other original beneficiaries will have a window to reschedule a power left over by original procurer as per the procedure in vogue.

− The original beneficiary may provide a formal communication to ISGS by 12PM on D-1 clearly specifying the quantum of power and duration for which ISGS may sell the power in the market.

− Once URS power has been sold in the market, beneficiary shall not be allowed to recall the power by rescheduling. In case power left unsold on the market, original beneficiaries may schedule the power from 4th time block as per procedure in vogue.

− The gains made by the ISGS i.e. the difference in selling price and the fuel cost including incidental expenses, shall be shared between the generator and the procurers who have surrendered their share, in the ratio of 50:50.

� In case the URS power surrendered by the original beneficiary is requisitioned by the other beneficiaries of the ISGS, it shall be treated as reallocation and the fixed charge and variable charge for such energy exchanged shall be borne by the other beneficiary(ies).

A Brief Analysis on DNH Power Distribution Corporation limited (DNHPCl) Tariff Petition for FY 2018 in JERC

On 1st December 2016, DNHPCL filed for Annual Revenue Requirement and Tariff Proposal for FY 2017-18.

Few salient points of the petition along with our analysis are as below:

z Open Access charges as proposed in the petition are as summarized below:

z Cross Subsidy Surcharge (CSS) � DNHPDCL has proposed a CSS of ` 0.28/unit

� The value has been derived using the NTP formula, which states;

– S=T-[C/ (1-L/100) +D+R]

Where,

S is the surcharge

T is the tariff payable by the relevant category of consumers, including reflecting the Renewable Purchase Obligation

C is the per unit weighted average cost of power purchase by the Licensee, including meeting the Renewable Purchase Obligation;

D is the aggregate of transmission, distribution and wheeling charge applicable to there levant voltage level

L is the aggregate of transmission, distribution and commercial losses, expressed as a percentage applicable to the relevant voltage level

R is the per unit cost of carrying regulatory assets

However, a slight error seems to have been made in the CSS calculation by DNHPDCL in its petition for FY 17-18 and the previous petition for FY 2016-17, in applying the loss

component ‘L’ in the formula. In the petition for FY 17-18, the loss component ‘L’, is defined as 3%, however while using in the formulae, it is taken as 0.03%.

Using 3% as the loss, with the same formula, the CSS comes out to be ` 0.16/unit instead of ` 0.28/ unit.

The calculation of CSS as per the petition and with using the ‘L’ as 3% is shown below:

Table 1: Proposed CSS for FY 17-18

Tariff `/kWh T 4.81

Cost of Supply `/kWH C 4.29

Wheeling Chgs `/kWh D 0.23

Losses in % L 3%

Regulatory Asset Charge `/kWh R 0

As per Petition `/kWh 0.28

Actual Calculation `/kWh 0.16

A similar anomaly seems to have been made in CSS calculation for the year FY 16-17 as well as per order 193/2016, where approved CSS is ` 0.22/unit, while using the same NTP formula, it come to ` 0.11/unit.

If the excess recovery for CSS made in FY 16-17 is factored in while calculating the CSS for FY 17-18, the effective CSS for the FY 17-18 comes out to be ` 0.05/unit as shown in Table 2.

z Wheeling Charges

In DNHPDCL, Petition considers the per unit wheeling charge to be recovered for its wire business from the net quantum (4044 MUs) to be supplied by the Discom after deducting the open access quantum (2195 MUs).

However, the total quantum (4044+2195 = 6239 MUs) should be considered for the wire business for calculating the wheeling charges, i.e. total quantum of energy that is

to be wheeled in the system irrespective of the source of supply whether DNHPDCL or Open access.

z Additional Surcharge

JERC in its order dated 15 Sept 2016 against petition no 205/2016, had approved the methodology for calculation of additional surcharge. The table below shows the calculation as per the methodology in the DNHPDC petition vis-à-vis that approved by JERC.

Power Market Update: December’16The Day-Ahead Market at IEX witnesses transactions of 3101 MUs in December’16 despite low demand due to the cold wave in North and congestion in Inter-State Transmission Network. On a daily average basis, 100 MUs were traded. The average Market Clearing Price (MCP) for the month was ` 2.32 per unit same as the previous month and about 10% less over prices of ` 2.56 per unit in December, 2015. The average Area Clearing Price (ACP) the price at which settlement takes place, varied from ` 1.43 per unit to ` 4.50 per unit. With the average daily purchase bid of 119 MUs and average daily sell bids of 229MUs, the market remained highly liquid and thus the prices were buyer friendly. The Open access consumers were key buyers in the market followed by distribution companies.Unavailability of transmission corridor continued to be a deterrent and led to market splitting and price variations. As a result of congestion 4.4 MUs were lost on a daily average basis. The Southern import was congested about 47% of the time mainly due to increased demand, outages and limited availability of the corridor. The Northern import was congested 34% of the time during the month mainly due to congestion on Gwalior-Agra Transmission Link, Mundra-Mohindergarh Link and HDVC Rihand-Dadri link. There were two instances in the month: 18 December and 20 December when the power spot market was cleared at one uniform Market Clearing Price for the entire country for whole days leading to One Nation, One Grid and One Price. The average Area Clearing Prices (ACP) across regions in December are as below:

� North-East, East and West: ` 2.14 per unit � North: ` 2.57 per unit � South: ` 2.71 per unit

The graphical depiction of average ACP in December is as below:

Participation 1,162 participants traded in the spot market on an average daily basis. The highest participation was on 22 December, 2016 when 1,292 participants traded on the Exchange.
