Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) introduces the Fifth Amendment Regulations of 2018 regarding Open Access in inter-State Transmission. It establishes the National Open Access Registry (NOAR) as a common electronic platform for short-term open access. The regulations outline procedures for registration, application submission, and revisions related to inter-state transmission. These regulations will come into force with effect from a date to be separately notified by the Commission. Key Points / Main Content: National Open Access Registry (NOAR): * NOAR is established as an electronic platform for short-term open access in the inter-state transmission system. * NLDC will be the nodal agency for the implementation and operation of NOAR and shall ensure cyber security compliance of NOAR. * NOAR's functions include automating short-term open access administration, providing a single-window platform for stakeholders, and maintaining an audit trail of applications. * NOAR will interface with RLDCs, SLDCs, and Power Exchanges for processing transactions and validating clearances. * NOAR will also provide a payment gateway for short-term open access transactions. * Expenses incurred on NOAR will be recovered under existing regulations. Registration and Application Process: * Short-term open access applicants must register in NOAR following a detailed procedure with a fee of Rs. 5000, valid for three years with a renewal fee of Rs. 2000. * All short-term open access applications must be submitted to the nodal agency through NOAR. * The online application through NOAR shall be made by the short term open access applicant to the concerned RLDC or SLDC for issuance of a standing clearance along with a declaration of absence of other contracts for the power and the availability of necessary metering infrastructure. * Standing clearances will be issued by RLDCs or SLDCs within three working days for a maximum period of three months, provided necessary infrastructure and transmission capacity are available. For first-time applicants, this period is seven working days. * NLDC shall debar the customer from participating in short term market for a period of seven days under intimation to concerned RLDC or SLDC in case a short term open access customer exceeds the quantum of the standing clearance in any time block. Amendments to Existing Regulations: * Regulation 4 is amended, tasking NLDC with issuing detailed procedures for operationalizing open access through NOAR, subject to stakeholder consultation and Commission approval. * Regulation 5 is amended, processing of short term open access applications for bilateral transactions by the nodal RLDC and for collective transactions through Power Exchanges by NLDC shall be carried out through the NOAR. * Regulation 7's application fee proviso is deleted. * Regulation 8 is substituted to outline the process for standing clearance by Load Despatch Centers for short-term transactions. * Regulation 9 is amended to ensure that the application for advance scheduling for a bilateral transaction may be submitted to the nodal agency through NOAR. * Regulations 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are amended to reflect the use of NOAR in electronic bidding, scheduling, and communication of curtailments. * All charges under these regulations will be paid online through the NOAR payment gateway. Information System: * Regulation 27 is amended, designating NOAR as the primary information system. * NOAR will provide information related to open access in inter-state transmission, including a list of entities with standing clearances. Impact Analysis Short Term Open Access Applicants: * Impact: Required to register with NOAR, submit applications through NOAR, and pay fees online. The standing clearance can be refused in case of non-existence of necessary infrastructure or unavailability of surplus transmission capacity in intraStateinterState network. They will need to adhere to new timelines and procedures for obtaining standing clearances and scheduling transactions. The open access customer to whom the standing clearance has been issued or deemed to have been issued, shall ensure that aggregate quantum in each time block of 15 minutes for all the bids under any of the categories of short term bilateral and collective transactions in OTC market andor Power Exchanges market shall not exceed the quantum of standing clearance or deemed standing clearance, as the case may be. * Action Required: Register with NOAR, familiarize themselves with the new application process, and ensure compliance with the new regulations for scheduling and payments. Regional Load Despatch Centers (RLDCs) and State Load Despatch Centers (SLDCs): * Impact: Responsible for verifying infrastructure and transmission capacity. Responsible for issuing standing clearances and communicating deficiencies through NOAR. The RLDC or SLDC may revise the quantum MW or period of the standing clearance issued in respect of any open access customer in case of transmission constraint or in the interest of secure grid operation in accordance with the detailed procedure. * Action Required: Adapt to the new online application and clearance process through NOAR and adhere to the specified timelines. National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC): * Impact: NLDC will be the nodal agency for implementation and operation of NOAR and shall ensure cyber security compliance of NOAR. * Action Required: Implement and operate NOAR, ensure its cyber security compliance, and issue detailed procedures for its use, and put in place an appropriate disaster recovery mechanism for ensuring business continuity. Power Exchanges: * Impact: Will interface with NOAR for validation of standing clearances and processing of term-ahead and day-ahead transactions. The Power Exchange shall make an application to the nodal agency through the NOAR for scheduling of the collective transactions discovered on its platform. * Action Required: Establish interface with NOAR and comply with new scheduling procedures for collective transactions.
