Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification introduces the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and Related Matters) (First Amendment) Regulations, 2024.
  • These amendments modify the original Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and Related Matters) Regulations, 2024, which were published on August 21, 2024.
  • The amendments primarily concern the rules for deviation settlement mechanism, particularly related to power generation capacity, open access sales, and charges for injecting infirm power.

Key Changes

  • The generating capacity of a power plant, for the purpose of deviation settlement, is limited to the quantum of connectivity granted.
  • For WS (wind seller) or MSW (municipal solid waste) sellers, or any other applicable entity, selling power to a third party through open access, deviation charges will apply.
  • For general sellers selling power to a third party through open access, deviation charges will apply.
  • Charges for injecting infirm power are set to zero.
  • If infirm power is scheduled after a successful trial run as per the Grid Code, deviation charges will apply to the extent the power deviates from the scheduled infirm power, similar to a general or WS seller.
  • When the system frequency is above 50.05 Hz, deviation charges for over-injection of scheduled infirm power by a general or WS seller will be zero.

Impact Analysis

Power Generators

  • All generators need to monitor system frequency and adjust their injection of infirm power accordingly to take advantage of the zero deviation charges when system frequency is above 50.05 Hz.

Open Access Power Consumers

  • Consumers will need to understand the implications of these changes on their power procurement costs.

System Operators

  • System operators will need to track system frequency and implement the changes to deviation charges accordingly.

Action Items

  • Conduct financial modeling to understand the impact of the changes on profitability.
