Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification amends the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) regulations regarding the sharing of interstate transmission charges and losses. It modifies the 2020 regulations, with changes effective from the date of publication in the official Gazette. Key amendments include revisions to regulations concerning tariff, terminal bay definitions, allocation of transmission charges, deviation calculations for generating stations, and waivers for renewable energy sources. Key Points / Main Content: Definitions and Interpretations: * "Tariff Regulations" are defined as the CERC Terms and Conditions of Tariff Regulations, 2024, as amended. * "Terminal Bay" is defined according to the GNA (General Network Access) Regulations. Allocation of Transmission Charges: * Draws DICs (Distribution Infrastructure Companies) within a state control area with separate GNA, not included in the state's distribution licensees' GNA, will have transmission charges apportioned based on their GNA. Transmission Deviation Calculation: * For generating stations with dual connectivity (interstate and intrastate), transmission deviation is calculated as net metered ex-bus injection exceeding the sum of GNA to the interstate system and access with STU (State Transmission Utility) system. * STU to share access details with NLDC (National Load Dispatch Centre) and CTU (Central Transmission Utility). Waivers for Renewable Energy Generation: * REGS (Renewable Energy Generating Stations) based on offshore wind are now included in waiver provisions. * Revised eligibility criteria for waivers based on commissioning dates (COD) for wind, solar, and hybrid projects, with specific schedules for drawal consideration under Annexure III. * Hydro PSP (Pumped Storage Projects) ESS (Energy Storage Systems) with construction awarded by 30.06.2028 are eligible for transmission charge waivers for 25 years from COD. * Battery ESS eligibility for waivers based on connection type (REGS connected at the same substation or not) and charging source (REGS or grid), with conditions on grid charging under contingency. * Hydro generating stations' waiver eligibility based on PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) signing date/construction award date and COD, with specific drawal schedules. * Waivers for REGS based on offshore wind, green hydrogen, or green ammonia plants, with calculations based on COD and drawal schedules. * Green hydrogen/ammonia plants using ISTS (Inter-State Transmission System) as drawee DICs can avail waivers based on power source (REGS, ESS, hydro), with considerations for drawal schedules. * REGS, RHGS (Renewable Hybrid Generating Stations), or battery ESS projects with scheduled COD by June 30, 2025, but delayed due to force majeure or non-attributable reasons, can still avail waivers if COD is achieved by the extended date. Extensions are subject to certain limitations and approval processes. * Self-declaration is allowed regarding fulfillment of 51% RE power usage for ESS charging or water pumping which is needed to claim monthly transmission waivers. However, NLDC will verify at the end of the year, and bills will be revised if the criteria aren't met. Terminal Bay Charges: * Connectivity grantees must pay yearly transmission charges for terminal bays corresponding to connectivity capacity that has not achieved COD, even if the ISTS substation's terminal bays are ready. Transmission System Availability: * Transmission system availability factor is calculated as per relevant tariff regulations, irrespective of contrary provisions in Transmission Service Agreements. Billing for Transmission Charges: * CTU to calculate and provide yearly transmission charges for elements without available charges, based on indicative capital cost and apportioning approved charges for the integrated project. Impact Analysis: Renewable Energy Generators (REGS, RHGS): * Impact: Revised waiver eligibility criteria and inclusion of offshore wind projects can reduce transmission costs, incentivizing renewable energy projects. * Action Required: Review project timelines, assess eligibility for waivers based on new criteria, and apply for extensions if necessary. Energy Storage System (ESS) Operators: * Impact: Clearer guidelines for waiver eligibility based on connection type and charging source. * Action Required: Evaluate charging sources and grid usage to ensure compliance with waiver conditions and assess eligibility. Green Hydrogen/Ammonia Plant Developers: * Impact: Specific waiver provisions for using ISTS as drawee DICs incentivize green hydrogen and ammonia production. * Action Required: Align project timelines to meet COD deadlines for maximum waiver benefits and comply with drawal schedule requirements. Transmission Licensees: * Impact: Must adhere to new regulations for calculating transmission system availability and billing for transmission charges. * Action Required: Implement the new calculation methods for transmission system availability and provide yearly transmission charges for elements without available data. NLDC (National Load Dispatch Centre): * Impact: Requirements for calculation and verification of 51% RE power usage for ESS charging or water pumping in order to give monthly transmission waivers and revise bills if needed. * Action Required: Monthly transmission charges by NLDC must consider self-declarations. Ensure criteria is verified by the end of the financial year and billing is revised accordingly if needed. DICs (Distribution Infrastructure Companies): * Impact: Revision to method of allocation of transmission charges. * Action Required: Take into consideration the new method of transmission charge allocation and factor this into future projections and planning.
