2. In case of competitively awarded transmission system projects the annual transmission charges shall be as per the annual Transmission Service Charges (TSC) quoted
[clause 65]
basis in the ratio of their respective contracted transmission capacities to the total contracted transmission capacity, in accordance with the following formula:
ATCn = (Transmission ARR x CCn÷SCC) ÷ 12
where,
ATCn = annual transmission charges payable by the nth long-termuser or medium-term user of the transmission system
CCn = capacity contracted in MW by the nthlong-term user or medium-termuser of the transmission system
SCC = sum of capacities contracted in MW by all long-term users andmedium-term users of the transmission system
2. The short-term users of the transmission system shall pay transmission charges on Rs/MW/day basis, in accordance with the following formula:
TC (Rs/MW/day) = (Transmission ARR÷SCC) ÷365
Where,
TC (Rs/MW/day) = transmission charges payable by the short-termuser of the transmission system;
Transmission ARR = Aggregate Revenue Requirement of the Transmission Licensee
SCC = sum of capacities contracted in MW by all long-term users andmedium-term users of the transmission system
3. For short-term collective transactions through power exchanges, Transmission Charges shall be denominated in Rs/kWh terms, in accordance with the following formula:
TC (Rs/kWh) = Transmission ARR÷Total units wheeled,
Where,
TC (Rs/kWh) = Transmission Charges payable in the case of short-termcollective transactions through power exchanges;
Transmission ARR = Aggregate Revenue Requirement of the Transmission Licensee.
Total units wheeled = total energy units wheeled through thetransmission system, which shall be equal to the total energy input into the intra-State transmission system during the financial year
[clause 72]
[clause 75]
target availability in accordance with the following formula:
Incentive = ATC x [Annual availability achieved – Target Availability]/ Target Availability
Where;
ATC= Annual Transmission Charges of the Transmission Licensee for the concerned year
Incentive shall be shared by the long-term and medium-term customers in the ratio of their average allotted transmission capacity for the year
No incentive shall be payable for availability beyond 99.75%
[clause 73]
b. dated August 18, 2018
TC (Rs/kWh) = Transmission ARR÷Total units wheeled,
Where,
TC (Rs/kWh) = Transmission Charges payable in the case of short-termcollective transactions through power exchanges;
Transmission ARR = Aggregate Revenue Requirement of the Transmission Licensee.
Total units wheeled = total energy units wheeled through the transmission system, which shall be equal to the total energy input into the intra-State transmission system during the financial year
