MILESTONES : TRANSMISSION SECTOR • Unbundling of CS transmission from generation (Formation of Power Transmission Corporation .. now POWERGRID) • Generation opened to Private Sector • Unbundling process started in States -Orissa Regulatory Commission Act introduced -State unbundled into Gencos, Transco & Discoms • Electricity Regulatory Commission Act passed • Process initiated for a comprehensive legislature • Electricity Act 2003 enacted in June 2003 2004 CERC Order and Regulations on OPEN ACCESS
OPEN ACCESS IN INTER-STATE TRANSMISSION CERC has issued Regulations and the Open Access in Inter State Transmission implemented w.e.f. 6-May-2004. CERC has amended the above Regulations and the amended Regulations are implemented w.e.f 01-04-2005. CERC has amended the Regulations on 25-01-2008 and the new Regulations are implemented w.e.f 01-04-2008.
Transmission Pricing : Objective • Promote efficient day-to-day operation of the bulk power market including power trading • Give Economic signal for efficient use of transmission resources • Give economic signal for transmission investment • Give economic signal for location of new generation and loads • Compensate the owner of the transmission system • Be simple and practical

OPEN ACCESS: DEFINITION AS PER ELECTRICITY ACT, 2003 Section 2 (47) “Open access” means the non-discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such lines or system by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the Appropriate Commission;”
“Open Access’ means • Nondiscriminatory provision for use of transmission line or distribution system or associated facilities with such line or system by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the Appropriate Commission. • Under sub-section (2) of Section 38, CTU is obliged to provide nondiscriminatory open access to its transmission system for use by • (i) any licensee or generating company on payment of transmission charges; or • (ii) any consumer as and when such open access is provided by the State Commission under sub-section (2) of Section 42, on payment of transmission charges and a surcharge thereon as may be specified by the Central Commission
OPEN ACCESS IN INTER-STATE TRANSMISSION Products – Long term Access Short term Access Monthly Advance First Come First Serve Day ahead Same Day transactions
CATEGORY OF OPEN ACCESS CUSTOMERS • LONG TERM : TWENTYFIVE YEARS AND ABOVE • Life of the Assets about 25 years • Existing beneficiaries of a regional transmission system owned or operated by CTU- deemed long term customers • New Long Term Open Access customers: Require BPTA for inter-State transmission • SHORT TERM : WHICH IS NOT LONG TERM - Essentially a Non firm service • The service may be curtailed if system security demands.
CERC Open Access Regulations, 2008 3.Subject to any other regulations specified by the Commission, the long-term customer shall have first priority for using the inter-State transmission system for the designated use. These Regulations shall apply for utilization of surplus capacity available thereafter on the inter-State transmission system by virtue of- (a)Inherent design margins; (b) Margins available due to variations in power flows; (c ) Margins available due to in-built spare transmission capacity created to cater to future load growth or generation addition:

Issues Skewed load – generation levels Increased line loading Consents by STU/SLDC for injection of power by embedded customers Telemetry Metering Scheduling PPAs
Empowering SLDCs UI Settlement of Intra state entities Before the Implementation of Open Access Regulations 2008, for deviations Various STU/SLDCs are charging differently for embedded customers. In the New Open Access Regulations the issue is addressed Functional Autonomy of SLDC

NAVABHARAT(NBVL) (ORISSA)(ER) to APPCC (ANDHRA)(SR) 50 MW for 31 days on Round the Clock basis Consent was not given by OPTCL by citing the following Reasons As per provision under chapter 4.11,10.5 of OGC Rule 2006 and order dated 29.10.2007 passed by Hon’ble OERC, the real time data of the CGP,(M/s NBVL) is yet to be received at the SLDC, Control Room. In absence of real time data monitoring facility, SLDC cannot comply the OGC provision under chapter 3.4(9) during contingency condition. Due to the above reasons the Request for Consent is not accepted.
Consent was not given by KPTCL by citing the following Reasons The Sugar companies started trading of the surplus power by applying through open access . But initially KPTCL has not consented by citing the reason that the sugar companies are having PPA with ESCOMs. Later the Sugar companies have approached CERC and CERC allowed them to trade under open access. Aggreived by the order of CERC, KPTCL has approached the Appellate Tribunal. The Tribunal said that if any petition is filed , the state commission shall consider the same. But the existing open access arrangement to continue.
