WELCOME
Sh. D. Sarkar, General Manager, BTPS welcomed the delegates for the 12th Grid Coordination
committee meeting. He informed that the BTPS fraternity was highly alighted for getting the
chance of hosting the Grid Coordination Committee meeting which is the apex coordination
forum of Delhi Power Sector. This meeting has attained more importance as was convened just
prior to the onset of summer season and the discussions and decision of the meeting would
definitely help the utilities to meet the challenging task to meet peak demand which is expected
to cross more than 6000MW during the summer season. He mentioned the importance of BTPS
Plant which is still operating satisfactorily the country’s first 210MW unit. He also mentioned
about the islanded operation of the plant for more than seven hours in the event of Grid collapse
on 30.07.2012 and was continuing feeding the essential load of Delhi. He outlined the need of
maintaining the generation at the load centre to the maximum capacity for ensuring reliable
power supply to the Capital. He welcomed Chairperson and requested to start the proceedings
of the meeting.
Sh. J.P.S. Chawla, Director (Operations), DTL, Chairman welcomed all delegates in the
12th Grid Coordination Committee meeting. He expressed his happiness that this meeting is
convened in due course as per the stipulations and hoped that in future also, the meetings would
be convened as stipulated in the relevant rules which is on quarterly basis. He also thanked
BTPS authorities to host the meeting.
He outlined the fact that the meeting is held just before the crucial summer month and he hoped
that all the utilities might have made all arrangements to meet the summer demand which is
expected to cross 6000 MW.
He mentioned about the cash crunch faced by the generating and transmission utilities due to non
payment of dues by some of the utilities. He requested all the utilities to pay at least the current
dues of generating and transmission utilities to avoid the situation of collapse of generating
4
stations on account of non-supply of fuels which has the stringent payment conditions of cash
and carry which generating utilities of Delhi cannot be able to adhere to due to non-payment by
some of the utilities. The maintenance work of transmission utility may also hamper, if
sufficient payments are not realised.
He hoped for the fruitful discussions and decisions in this meeting.
With these remarks he advised the Convener to take up the Agenda. Accordingly, agenda was
taken up, the gist of discussions and decisions are as under:

DTL representative intimated that as
per the directives communicated
vide letter no.F.DTL/
Engg./DERC/2012-13/3496 dated
19.11.2013, Discoms should shift
the 11kV load from DTL
Sub’station. They informed that
sofar, no action has been taken by
the Discoms. They informed that as
per DERC directives, the could not
be able to incur any additional
capital expenditure on thise assets
and without which, the continuity of
supply through these assets would
be impossible. They informed that
the conditions of 11kV panels of 4
sub-stations namely Najafgarh,
Okhla, Gopalpur & Lodhi Road are
in deterioated conditions and
without replacing the same, the
continuity of supply can not be
ensured. The cost of the work would
be about more than Rs. 3 Crores and
hence load should be transferred
immediatley to avoid any
interruption in supply.
DTL representative further informed
that one 11kV breaker of controlling
Rama Park. feeder at Najafgarh was
damaged and they don’t have any
space to replace the same. He
requested BRPL to provide a

Further, Discoms intimated that it is not possible to shift
all load from 11kV system fed from DTL’s sub-stations
provided the estalishment of alternative system.
In the meetings held at DERC, they have also informed

that same. They further intimated that in the DERC
meeting also, DERC advised DTL to maintain the
infrastructure of 11kV system so that the areas fed from
these feeders are not sufferred due to tusssle between the
utilities (the minutes of the meeting has not been issued
sofar).
Concluding the discussions, GCC advised DTL to
maintain the feeders till the loads are shifted by
Discoms to avoid public inconvenices. It also advised
Discoms to shift 11kV loads from DTL’s sub-stations as
per directives of DERC as early as possible due to
difficulties experessed by DTL
2.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATIC STATE-OF-THE–ART–LOAD

MANAGEMENT SCHEME BY DISCOMS
In the last meeting, Distribution Companies have informed that they have to make
necessary modification in the SCADA system as over drawal and under drawal is now
not linked with frequency. It was also decided that Discoms should keep their drawal as
per the drawal schedule and at the same time, should also consider the drawal of Delhi as
whole from the Grid so as to avoid unnecessary load shedding in case Delhi drawal is less
than the scheduled drawal.
TPDDL informed that the automatic State-Of-The-Art Load Management Scheme as per
the Grid Code provisions applicable from 17.02.2014 is envisaged in the upgradation of
the SCADA system which is expected by 31.03.2016. In the present system, the
provisions linked with frequency are functioning. However, they are observing the load
management as per the Grid Code conditions.
BRPL informed that their system is also being upgraded and ADMS provisions as per the
prevailing Grid Code in the provision could be implemented along with the upgradation
of SCADA system i.e. 31.03.2016.
BYPL informed that their SCADA system has already having the ADMS provisions
except the polarity changes in the 12 Fifteen minutes time blocks. They are trying to
update the software of ADMS linked with overall over drawal of Delhi as a whole to
avoid unnecessary load shedding in any part of Delhi when Delhi (as a State) does not
over draw from the Grid.
7
NDMC informed that the software development in SCADA with reference to ADMS is
assigned to TCS which is expected by 31.03.2016. Further, the system is partly
implemented in some of the feeders.
MES has been exempted from ADMS as per the earlier decisions of GCC considering the
strategic importance load to be catered by the utility beside total consumption of utility is
less than 1% of the Delhi.
BRPL representative suggested that the SCADA staff should also be posted on round the
clock basis in SLDC to address the SCADA related issues on real time basis as at present,
to resolve the SCADA related issues after office hours or holidays, no arrangement is
available in SLDC leading to load shedding due to data related issues.
BYPL representative suggested that real time operator in SLDC should adopt Discom
data for drawal (as available in SLDC through ICCP) in case of SCADA problem of
SLDC system.
TPDDL representative suggested a special meeting to resolve the ICCP integration of

Discom data and to ensure realistic data of drawal of Discom on real time basis in SLDC.
GCC advised that a meeting of DTL, SLDC and Discoms be immediately convened
at SLDC to resolve the data integration issues. GCC also advised all stakeholders to
strictly adhere Grid Code provisions to ensure secure and economic operation of the
Grid.

BRPL/BYPL representatives informed that due to accumulation of regulatory assets, their

financial position is precarious due to which the payments are not being done despite the
orders of the Supreme Court. All out efforts are being made to arrange finances and if
the efforts are materialized, they could be able to start the payment. They are also
waiting for the Supreme Court orders in this regard particularly with respect to regulatory
assets.

With regard to payment dues of NDMC & TPDDL for DTL, the utilities were of the view
that the genuine payments are being made by them. TPDDL further, informed that the
matter is still in the consideration of DERC/APTEL.
GCC requested all utilities to pay the current dues as per the Supreme Court orders
to at-least maintain the power supply in the Capital particularly during the crucial
summer months so that the day-to-day work of transmission & generation utilities
do not affect due to payment crises.

brought very close to 50Hz. 17.02.2014 in which the allowable frequency band is 49.95Hz to 50.05Hz.
The Deviation Settlement Mechanism has also been introduced according
to the tightening to the frequency band. The main thrust of the amended
Grid Code is the utilities should always stick to its scheduled drawal.
Further, the following are the main issues:-
a) No over drawal by Delhi if frequency is below 49.95Hz.
b) No under drawal by Delhi if the frequency is more than
50.05Hz.
c) Every (12) time blocks the polarity of drawal should change.
One day special interactive session was also conducted in SLDC on

14.02.14 under the guidance of Engineers of NRLDC. The representatives
of Discoms, SLDC, DTL and Gencos attended the interactive section.
In consultation with all stakeholders, the Revised Scheduling Procedure in

consonance with the amended Grid Code and DSM Regulations has been
drawn out and submitted to DERC for its approval. However, the
procedures have been adopted in anticipation of the approval of the
Commission.
In the regular OCC meetings of NRPC, the adherence of the above

provisions is monitored. As far as Delhi is concerned, the main violation is

The summer power supply position was reviewed by the Hon’ble Minister of Power,
GNCTD on 16.03.2015. The following was discussed and decided (The latest position is
updated as under):
a) Minister of Power insisted that Discoms should ensure that there is no power cut
during the peak summer months this year on account of scheduling power by the
Discoms. Discoms were asked to certify that they have made adequate
arrangements for Power in summer vis-a-vis the peak power demand in summer
and there will not be any overloading in the peak summer on the transformers and
other associated system like Cable-lines etc. in their area and adequate
arrangements have been made. BYPL and BRPL said that they are ready to certify
the same. TPDDL mentioned that they are maintaining N-I contingency in all their
areas and do not expect any problem during peak summer months. Similarly, DTL
to certify that there will not be any transmission constraints in meeting the summer
peak demand.
[action : Discoms & DTL to certify by 30.03.2015]
The Distribution Companies informed that they have already submitted the details.
DTL’s Planning Department informed that the position would be submitted soon. It was
further informed that with the commissioning of 220kV Mundka – Peera Garhi D/C line,
220kV Patparganj – Gazipur single circuit cable, 220/66kV 160MVA Txs at Wazirabad
and Gazipur, expected commissioning of LILO of 220kV Najafgarh – Kanjhawala Ckt at
Mundka and commissioning of 220kV Wazirpur – Peera Garhi D/C cable during the
summer season, the transmission capability has been improved and no transmission
constraints anticipated in any part of Delhi except South Delhi where constraints are
prevailing. Though orders have been placed for enhancement of transformation capacity
at Masjid Moth, commissioning of additional transformer at Sarita Vihar, the same may
not be matured during summer season considering the delivery period. It was suggested
that all out efforts should be exercised to commission additional transformer at Masjid
Moth by end of June 2015 by shifting the available transformer at Lodhi Road S/Stn.
G.M. (O&M)-II of DTL intimated that Discoms should attend the following constraints
immediately to avoid load shedding in case of any issue at DTL sub-stations:-
i) Four 11kV feeders namely Aali Village, Jaitpur, Saurav Vihar Ckt-I, Saurav Vihar Ckt-II
at Sarita Vihar have no back feed arrangements and hence in case of tripping of any the
four feeders, the area is left with loss of supply till the same is rectified.
ii) 66kV Jafarpur Ckt-I & II has only the feed from Najafgarh. These feeders have no bus
selection at Najafgarh due to space constraints. Therefore, in case of fault at the Grid
S/Stn or shut-down taken for maintenance activities for 66kV Bus, the areas fed from
66kV Jafarpur S/Stn of BRPL is left with load shedding.
27
iii) 66kV Nangloi and Nangloi Water Works feeders emanating from Najafgarh S/Stn have
alternative back feeding arrangements at 66kV level from Mundka S/Stn but the 66kV
supply of Mundka is normally out due to cable faults which is a normal phenomenon of
the circuits.
iv) 12 number of 11kV Feeders from Najafgarh have no back feed arrangements and any
tripping of transformer or feeders, the areas left with no supply. BRPL should shift the
load to the nearby sub-station DJB S/Stn of BRPL established nearby Najafgarh S/Stn.
v) Four numbers of 11kV feeders (Bengali Colony, Vinodpuri, Pappankalan Sec-7 and
NSIT) at Pappankalan-I have no back feeding arrangements at Discoms end.
vi) 66kV radial feeding of GGSU Grid of BRPL from Pappankalan-II has no alternate source.
vii) 33kV India Habitat Center Ckt-I & II is redially fed from 220kV Lodhi Road S/Stn have
not alternate arrangements.
viii) 66kV Sonia Vihar Ckt-I & II and 66kV Shastri Park Ckt-I & II of BYPL are radially fed
from South of Wazirabad. In case of any major fault, break-down at South of Wazirabad,
there is no alternate arrangement to meet the entire load.
ix) Four numbers of 11kV feeders (Ghevra, SOS Bawana, JJ Cluster and ABC Kanjhawala)
from Kanjhawala 220kV S/Stn have no back feed arrangements leaving supply failure in
case of fault at 11kV system at the S/Stn.

Well, Takia Chowk, Shah Alam Bandh, Jagatpur) have no back feed arrangements.
TPDDL informed that at present, part load can be back feeded from these feeders.
However, these feeders would have alternate arrangement for back feeding after the
commissioning of 33kV Dheerpur Grid S/Stn which is expected to be commissioned
during 2016-17 and commissioning of 66kV Burari Grid subsequently.
BYPL informed that with regard to 66kV Sonia Vihar feeders from SOW there are no
other 66kV sources however, some part of load can be shifted through 11kV System.
With regard to 66kV Shastri Park Ckt.I & II from SOW is concerned, there are no other
66kV sources at Shastri Park but some load can be shifted through 33kV System.

CEO, BYPL said that Gazipur – Noida – Badarpur circuit is very important to meet
any contingency in case of any problem in Maharani Bagh – Gazipur lines.
However, both the circuits of Gazipur – Noida – Badarpur lines are out of order.
MD, DTL informed that they are regularly following up with UPTCL for early
repair of these lines and have also arranged a meeting in Central Electricity
Authority for early revival of the same. CEO, BYPL also raised the issue of
saturation of capacity of the DTL sub-station in Central Delhi and said it may pose
problems in ensuing summer.
CEO, BRPL said that additional transformer at Pappankalan is very important for
them, otherwise, there may be power cut during the summer. MD, DTL informed
that their request for diverting one transformer have not been accepted by Punjab
State Transmission Co. Ltd and a draft letter on behalf of Minister of Power,
GNCTD has been put up. The order of the transformer has already been placed on
BHEL and it is expected by May end.
220kV Mundka-Peeragarhi Ckt.I (Commissioned on 31.03.2015) & Ckt.II

(Commissioned on 28.04.2015) As far as 220kV BTPS-Noida-Gazipur Ckt. is concerned,
the cable portion is being replaced by UPPCL and is expected by July 2015.
It was informed that the Power evacuation position of Peeragarhi Substation is very slow
and Discoms were requested to utilize maximum from Peeragarhi to ease loading on
Papankalan-I, Najafgarh etc. As on date, the following feeders are still not energized
from Peeragarhi:
33kV Peera Garhi Ckt-I -BRPL
33kV Peera Garhi Ckt-II -BRPL
33kV Sudershan Park Ckt. -TPDDL
BRPL assured that during the summer maximum 150 MW load would be put on the
substation and requested for additional 100MVA Transformer by 31.03.2016 to ensure
reliability.
TPDDL informed that they have already charged 33kV Rani Bagh feeder (through which
the Peeragarhi substation was test charged). As far as Sudarshan Park is concerned, this
is a deposit work and would be ready by 31.03.2017.
c) The members of Task Group of the Delhi Dialogue Committee (DDC) said that
Discoms should anticipate the worst scenario, make a plan according to that and
provide the same to Power Minister and Power Department by 31.03.2015.
[Action : BYPL, BRPL and TPDDL]
Discom intimated that they have already provided the information.
30
d) The members of Task Group of the Delhi Dialogue Committee (DDC) also asked
DTL to put up a note informing about the works which have been done for
strengthening the transmission system and solution for mitigating the crisis in
Central Delhi, since it was highlighted by BSES Yamuna Power Limited that all
sub-stations owned by DTL supplying to Central Delhi are overloaded and does not
have any capacity for augmentation.
[Action : DTL]
DTL intimated that the note would be provided soon.
e) BSES Discoms requested Principal Secretary (Power), to write to Centre for providing
cheaper power from the unallocated power of Central quota to Delhi. Pr. Secretary
(Power) said that a request letter in this regard is being sent.
The members of Task Group of the DDC said that the Reliance Discoms should ensure
that the full entitlement of 426MW from Sasan Plant is provided by their sister concern
Reliance Energy. Since, this was the cheapest source of power, this should be prioritized
even above the unallocated power of Central quota.
[Action : BRPL and BYPL]
It was intimated by Discoms that as per the Tariff Regulations, the Sasan plant has to
attain 85% availability factor to recover the full fixed charges which has already attained.

Sasan UMPP in terms question which remains to be answered is what treatment
of the judgement should be given to the power scheduled for the period
dated 12.8.2013 in 31.3.2013 to 15.8.2013. Since, we have held that the unit of
Appeal No.149/2013 the generating station has failed to qualify the performance
of Appellate Tribunal test for 95% of the contracted capacity which is a pre-
for Electricity requisite for declaration of the commercial operation in
terms of the provisions of the PPA, the power injected
during this period shall be treated as infirm power. 37.
Learned senior counsel for the petitioner suggested during
the hearing on 27.5.2014 that an independent technical
committee be appointed to look into the aspect of readiness
of unit-3 of the generating station to achieve full load on
31.3.2013. The petitioner in its additional submission filed
vide affidavit dated 27.5.2014 has reiterated the same
suggestion and has submitted that appointing a independent
committee will be in the interest of justice and no prejudice
will be caused to the petitioner. We have considered the
suggestion of the petitioner. In our view, the facts on record
make it crystal clear that the load restriction was only on
27.3.2014 and thereafter, the petitioner had the opportunity
to achieve the full load as its machine repeatedly tripped. In
our view, readiness of the machine is not a relevant factor
for declaration of COD under the PPA unless the machine
actually achieves the 95% of the contracted load as per the
provisions of the PPA. We do not find any requirement to
constitute a committee as suggested by the petitioner in view
of our finding that the unit-3 of the generating station was
unable to achieve its full load on 31.3.2014. The petition is
disposed of in terms of the above.

3.3 SURRENDER OF POWER FROM VARIOUS SOURCES FOR OPTIMIZATION

OF POWER PURCAHSE COST.
SLDC informed that on the advise of Govt. of NCT of Delhi, a meeting of Delhi Power
Procurement Group (DPPG) members, DTL and SLDC was held in the Conference Hall
of SLDC to discuss and decide about the issue of surrender of power from various
sources beyond 31.03.2015. The minutes of the meeting is appended as Annexure. The
gist of broad discussions and decisions are explained as under:-
56
a) RPH Station
The State Government was requested to close down RPH Plant forever from 01.10.2015
considering the age of the plant, environmental conditions and cost of the generation
which is about Rs. 5.75 per unit.
b) Pragati Stage-I
Full generation of Pragati Stage-1 be maintained during summer months and from
October to March, the entire gas allocation of Pragati Station be diverted to Bawana for
better utilization. After the commissioning of 400kV RPH System, the entire station may
be closed down if the generating company could not assure cheap gas to run the plant.
c) IPGCL’s GT Station
The Government may take a call of closure of the station considering black start facility
available with the station.
d) BTPS
The State Govt may consider to request the Central govt. to decommission Stage-1units
(95MW capacity of each three units) from October 2015. 210MW units be closed down
after the commissioning of 400kV ISTS Tuglakabad.
The State Government was also requested to request NTPC not to infuse additional funds
for renovation and modernization of Stage-II units whose expenditure was expected to Rs.
741 Crores as approved by CERC in its order dated 12.05.2011 in Petition No. 324/2009
as the overall cost of the power from the station is nearly Rs. 6/unit.
e) Rithala Station
Rithala Station was commissioned in the year 2011. Since last two years, there was no
generation due to non availability of gas. The fixed cost of the station is Rs. 90 Crores
per annum as per the tariff petition filed before DERC.
TPDDL was requested to decommission the plant immediately to ease the burden of
fixed charges on consumers without any generation.
f) Interstate Generation
i) The entire allocation of Delhi from Anta, Auriya and Dadri Gas Stations to be reallocated
to needy states forever from October 2015.
ii) 125MW (NDMC share) of Dadri (Thermal)-I be reallocated to needy states from October
to March.
iii) 400MW (share of TPDDL and BRPL) from Dadri Thermal Stage-II be reallocated to
needy states from October to March.
57
iv) All the Distribution Companies should make sufficient arrangements of power to meet
the demand in the event of reallocation of power as mentioned above to avoid any load
shedding in Delhi.
v) SLDC was advised to intimate the above decisions to the State Govt.
G.M. (Commercial), NTPC was of the view that the factual position has not been
considered while making the suggestions and the suggestions of the forum are also not
legally tenable. He was also of the view that the issue tantamount to review of PPAs and
hence not in the purview of the discussions in GCC which is evident from the ‘Functions
and Responsibility of GCC assigned to it by Delhi Grid Code in Regulation No.6.2.2 as
under:-
6.2.2 The Grid Coordination Committee shall be responsible for the

following matters, namely-
(a) facilitating the implementation of these Regulations and the
procedures developed under the provisions of these Regulations;
(b) assessing and recommending remedial measures for issues that

might arise during the course of implementation of provisions of
these Regulations and the procedures
developed under the provisions of these Regulations;
(c) review of the DGC, in accordance with the provisions of the Act
and these Regulations;
(d) analyse any major grid disturbance after its occurrence,

(e) examining problems raised by the Users, and
(f) investigate in case any Beneficiary is indulging in unfair gaming
or collusion after getting reported from SLDC.
(g) review of the complete statement of the State UI and the State
Reactive Energy account tabled by the SLDC through its Commercial
Committee (a sub-committee of GCC); and
(h) such other matters as may be directed by the Commission from time
to time.
As such, he was of the view that the item put forth for discussion should be withdrawn.
Delhi Gencos representatives expressed the same view. They were of the view that while
making the suggestions by the forum to the State Government, the legal and commercial
aspects contained in the Power Purchase Agreements were totally ignored and Gencos
were also not associated with the discussions. They also requested for withdrawal of the
item from the agenda.
DTL representatives were also of the view that SLDC was advised by the State
Government to assess the demand – supply position in consultation with Discoms and
DTL and furnish the comments on reallocation of power from various generating stations
beyond 31.03.2015. Accordingly, they have done the exercise by convening a meeting
58
on 27.03.2015 and the Minutes of the Meeting have been circulated and posted in the
website of SLDC. As such, there was no need to put the item as an agenda for discussion
in this meeting.
BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL representatives objected the views of NTPC, Delhi Gencos
and DTL. They were of the view that the recommendations have wide impact not only in
the power purchase cost but also in the electrical network and hence it should be
discussed in this apex forum which consists of Gencos, DTL, SLDC, DMRC, NRLDC
etc. BYPL representative was further of the view that if such vital aspects are not
included for discussions, the outstanding payment issue should also not be figured in the
agenda as the issues are commercial issues between two parties and not general in nature.
Concluding the discussions on the jurisdictional issue, the Chair opined that the
issue affects the overall power sector of Delhi including all stakeholders viz Gencos,
Transco, Discoms and System Operation. As such, he advised all Stakeholders to
provide their comments on the issue which would be placed before the State
Government.
Accordingly, following comments were provided by the Stakeholders.
The representatives of Delhi Gencos were of the view that while making the suggestions
by the Forum consisting of DTL, SLDC and DPPG to the State Government for closing
down all the plants – RPH, GTPS, PPS 1, BTPS stage I and also BTPS stage 2 only on
the basis of cost of generation, the legal and commercial aspects contained in the Power
Purchase Agreements were totally ignored. Review of PPAs and shutting down of power
stations is not being the subject matter of SLDC, and DISCOMs . As far as cost is
concerned, it is as per the tariff orders issued by the respective electricity regulatory
commissions. Further, decisions taken by the Delhi Power Purchase Group to
recommend the State Govt for closure of load centre based generation at RPH, GT and
PPS 1 is not legally tenable as the PPAs have no exit clause and the units are supposed to
be in operation for their entire life of the plant.
Even basic concepts of power allocations, purpose of embedded generation of Delhi at
load centre for energy security of the capital city has not been considered.
As far as cost is concerned, it is as per the tariff order issued by DERC / CERC. The
performance parameters of the stations had been made stricter and the norms of the
quantity of fuel and auxiliary power consumption are same for all the power stations
within the state and outside Delhi state, since the regulated regime came into existence in
2005-06, with no relaxations to Delhi generation utilities. Cost of generation of load
centre coal station located at a distance of 1000 KM or more from coal mines and Gas
based CCGTs cannot be compared simply with the pithead coal based / hydro power
transmitted from long distance incurring transmission losses and transmission charges
along with the associated energy insecurity.
59
They also drawn attention on the Director (Operations), DTL’ view recorded in the
minutes of the meeting dated 27.03.2015 wherein the need of embedded generation was
emphasized. They cited the relevant portion of the minutes as under:-
“Director (Operations), DTL cautioned that even at present, only 20-30%

internal generation (load centre based) is available in Delhi and any
further reduction in generation at load centres, the reliability of
power supply would definitely affected.
He also cautioned that the operation of much publicized Delhi Islanding

Scheme which was devised to safely island Delhi Power System from the
Grid in the case of Grid eventuality would be affected severely in case
of closing down of all such load centre based generation.”
They were also of the view that the observation of DISCOMs stated in the minutes that
possibility of grid failure being remote and hence the shutting down of embedded
generation will not have any effect is technically incorrect and the basic intent of
planning of embedded power generation at load centre in the state gets defeated.
Therefore, stability of supply in the National Capital should be given priority rather than
only commercial aspect to reduce the power purchase cost. As such; the proposal of
closure of load centre power stations is not in the public interest.
In this regard they requested to consider the observations of CEA in their letter dated
25.03.2015 emphasizing need of embedded generation in Delhi for energy security.
DTL representative intimated that Grid authorities like CEA etc has also emphasized the
need of enhancement of load centre based generation for successful operation of Delhi
Islanding Scheme devised to safely island Delhi system in the event of Grid collapse as
occurred on 30/31.07.2012. He has given the details of CEA communication dated
25.3.15 in this regard as under:-
This has the reference to the email received from G.M. DTL of dated 12th March on the
above subject. We have gone through the text of the DTL report, wherein it has been
mentioned that the islanding scheme for Delhi network is frequency measurement based.
If the load is well within the on line generating capacity of the system, then the frequency
can be maintained at 50 Hz. Similarly, if the actual generation is less than the load, then
the frequency drops and settles below 50Hz. At the time, major disturbance in the
Northern Grid, when grid frequency reaches 47.9Hz, the interstate feeders will be opened
thereby leaving the Delhi embedded generation, Dadri and Jhajjar generation balancing
Delhi network load and if the available embedded generation in Delhi is sufficient then
there will be less possibility of load shedding and survival of post islanding.
It has been indicated that for meeting the Delhi peak load requirement of 6200MW, the
available generation in Delhi totalling 4135MW at the time of Islanding will be from
following plants :-
60
Dadri : 1700MW
Pragati + IPGT : 500MW
Bawana CCGT : 685MW
BTPS : 500MW
But the generation from BTPS, Bawana CCGT (limited gas available), Jhajjar and Pragati
GT remain below above level due to non-scheduling there generation by the Delhi
Discoms because of high cost and cheaper power is available from other outside sources.
At the time of islanding these outside generation will also cut off leading to additional
load shedding for controlling the frequency.
During the major grid disturbance, the necessary condition for survival of Delhi network
without any load shedding is that the available generation should exceed the prevailing
loads. But since Delhi network is already deficit by around 220MW so far survival of
Delhi network with minimum load shedding or no load shedding, it is essential that total
embedded generation in Delhi is more than Delhi load. The embedded generation in
Delhi network can be established by:
1 At Bawana CCGT 4X250MW is already commissioned, additional 2X250 unit is

likely to be commissioned, however, with the present availability of gas generation at
Bawana remains around 700MW. For getting full generation from Bawana CCGT,
the generation cost have to be made cheaper along with allocation of additional gas.
This will add further 700MW generation at cheaper rate thereby Discoms will be able
to schedule this power.
2 Synchronization of Bamnauli Gas based plant with availability of Gas in line with
Bamnauli : addition of 750MW.
3 Replacement of outlived thermal power plant at Rajghat Power House and 9X30MW
gas turbine generation plant by gas based 400MW plant at each location along with
requisite allocation of Gas. Feasibility studies for these replacement projects have
been completed and these projects (800MW) can come up as and when the gas is
allowed.
With these above projects around 2200MW power would still needs to be added to secure
Delhi system after Islanding without any load shedding under the existing load condition.
This would ensure the generation availability matching the Delhi network load thereby
maintaining the power system integrity and keeping the frequency above 49.2Hz thus
restricting the load shedding during major grid disturbance.
The above observation of DTL is correct and CEA is also in agreement with the views of
DTL. Without adequate embedded generation within Delhi system is indicated above, it
would be absolutely impossible to create an islanding system for Delhi system without
doing any load shedding.
NTPC representative expressed their views as under:-
61
i) Badarpur station was owned by Govt. of India and operated by NTPC till
31.3.2006. 100% of power from Badarpur has been allocated to Delhi. The
Station was transferred to NTPC on 1.4.2006 by Govt. of India.
ii) Dadri Stage –I and Dadri Stage –II have since inception been planned and
implemented by NTPC primarily as generating stations dedicated for Delhi
based on requisition of Delhi Govt. 90% of power from Dadri stage-I and 75%
power from Dadri stage-II have been allocated to Delhi. Knowing well that coal
for these stations will be sourced from mines from around 1200-1300 kms away,
thereby, incurring additional transportation cost over and above the coal cost at pit
head, Delhi Govt wanted NTPC to set up these stations. About 40% of fuel cost
of these stations is attributable to transportation cost, which Delhi Government
and Delhi Transco Ltd were fully aware of at the time of entering into the PPA.
These PPAs were reassigned to Delhi Discoms from 01.04.2007 as per order of
DERC.
iii) Badarpur, Dadri-I and Dadri-II have been envisaged as Load Centre stations to
enhance stability of Grid. These stations have helped Delhi all these years in
making electricity available to Delhi consumers. Even today they play important
role in Delhi Grid Stability as evident from the fact that Delhi SLDC has all along
been insisting for enhanced level of generation from these power stations.
iv) This is further substantiated vide Delhi SLDC submission dtd. 28.5.2014 in
DERC in petition no. 10/2014.
Quote
As far as BTPS is concerned, the Requisition should not be less than 80% ex bus
capacity of running machines --------
At the present condition, SLDC has confirmed that during summer season, full
generation at BTPS, IPGCL GT & RPH and Pragati Stage-I is required to be
delivered during peak demand which is expected to cross 6000 MW this year in
hassle free manner. One Caution should also be taken that in no power system,
the local generation can completely be eliminated if stability is required.
Unquote
v) Investment decisions for Dadri-I & Dadri-II were taken by NTPC for entire life
of the station based on comfort given by Delhi Govt./ Power Purchase Agreement
signed by Delhi Transco Ltd to take power from these stations for entire life of
the stations. Accordingly, Investments once made are to be serviced during the
life of the plants and not open to review in between. This is fundamental to any
Long Term PPA. These PPAs were reassigned to Delhi Discoms from
01.04.2007 as per order of DERC.
vi) The risk of price of fuel increasing or the reward of fuel price reducing or
remaining constant is necessarily on the Procurers and the fuel cost in all PPAs
which are based on cost plus basis and tariff being determined under section 62 of
the Electricity Act is a pass through. If otherwise there cannot be any long term
62
planning and implementation of PPA particularly at the time when the above
mentioned stations were established
vii) Due to low availability of APM gas, NTPC gas station are getting APM upto
around 40% PLF and Discoms are scheduling upto generation available on APM.
Discoms are not scheduling generation available on RLNG due to high variable
cost. The low schedule in effect is increasing per unit fixed charges. It may be
appreciated that allocation of Gas to NTPC and pricing of APM gas are governed
by GOI. During the period of low gas / RLNG prices, beneficiaries including
Delhi had no complaint while availing power from these projects. Just because the
APM gas / RLNG prices have become costlier Delhi Discoms can not take a stand
that they want to move out of the PPA leaving the NTPC to bear the stranded cost
of these projects.
viii) Moreover, it may be appreciated that arbitrary demands of Discoms to surrender

costlier power and avail only cheap power will create doubts in the minds of the
investors, thereby, affecting investments in the power sector of the Country.
ix) NTPC wish to place the following legal aspects in regard to the Power Purchase
Agreement existing between NTPC and the Delhi Distribution Companies/
Licensees in regard to the generation and sale of electricity from various
Generating Stations of NTPC including the Badarpur Thermal Power Station
acquired by NTPC from the Government of India and also the Gas Power Stations
of NTPC, namely, Anta Auraiya, Dadri Gas as well as Dadri Thermal Power
Station:
(a) There exist a duly concluded, binding and enforceable agreement with clear
obligation on the part of the Distribution Companies/Licensees to purchase power
from the above Generating Stations and pay for the tariff, namely, the capacity
charges, variable charges and all other applicable charges and the cost as provided
in the Power Purchase Agreements and as per the Tariff Regulations of the
Central Commission and Tariff Orders passed by the Central Commission. This
obligation of Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees cannot be unilaterally
varied either by the Distribution Companies/Licensees or by the Delhi Transco
Limited or Delhi SLDC or even by the government of NCT of Delhi;
(b) The obligation specified in the Power Purchase Agreement include taking the
power scheduled by giving requisite dispatch instructions and if the Procurer do
not schedule the power, to pay for the capacity and other charges applicable
notwithstanding that the actual power is not taken;
(c) It is the Government of India which has allocated the power from various
Generating Stations of NTPC to Delhi on a Long Term basis. It is for the
Government of India to change the allocation to any other Procurer on a Long
Term basis either wholly or partly for the capacity allocated to Delhi. Till such
time the Government of India allocates on a Long Term basis, such capacity now
63
with Delhi, Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees shall continue to be liable
under the Power Purchase Agreement. Such an obligation cannot be unilaterally
terminated as recorded in the Minutes of the Meeting dated 27th March 2015 or
otherwise;
(d) The Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees are bound to service the cost and
expenses in regard to various Generating Stations of NTPC including renovation
and modernisation as per the Orders passed by the Central Commission from time
to time. It is not open to the Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees to
unilaterally and selectively decide to service only some of the Generating Stations
and not to service others.
(e) The Central Commission and the Hon’ble Appellate Tribunal have consistently
held that the Procurers shall be bound to service the capital cost and other fixed
charges of NTPC, notwithstanding that the Procurer do not schedule the power
from any of the generating station. It is reiterated that the Procurers have a
binding obligation to pay for the capacity charges and fixed charges
notwithstanding that they may not schedule the power on any day or during some
months of the relevant tariff year.
f) In view of the above, Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees shall continue to

be liable for payment of all the applicable tariff, capacity charges/fixed charges as
well as variable charges as per the provisions of the Power Purchase Agreement
entered into between the parties and NTPC is not willing to selectively review the
procurement of power by the Delhi Distribution Companies/Licensees selectively
from some of the Generating Stations of NTPC as mentioned herein above.
It was also informed that the above facts have been placed before the State Government
vide their letter no.01:CD:152 dated 20.04.2015 addressed to the Principal Secretary
(Power), Govt. of NCT of Delhi.
Discoms representatives reiterated their stand that that considering the massive
corrective steps taken by all utilities after the 30th and 31st July 2012 Grid Disturbances
occurred in country and considering the much improved stability of power system, the
possibility of occurrences of such Grid disturbances for which Islanding Schemes are
devised, are remote. As such, to take care of such remote chances of Grid eventualities, it
is not proper to force the Distribution utilities to utilize such costlier generation thereby
burdening the consumers. They also informed that most of the plants in Delhi have
already out lived their useful lives. As such they have every rights to exit the PPAs on
commercial and operational grounds after the life span of the plants. They have indicated
the details of the plants who have out lived their useful lives as under:

It was further clarified by Discoms that reallocation of power from center sector stations
has been a regular feature particularly during lean period November to March. TPDDL
informed that their allocation from Dadri Stage-I is still reallocated to Bihar from
September 2014 and will continue till 31 st August 2015. There allocation from Dadri
Stage-II is also remained reallocated during November 2014 to March 2015. As such
NTPC’s contention in Dadri Stage-I & II is not tenable. Further, they requested to
reallocate the entire share of Anta, Auriaya & Dadri Gas stations from October, 2015
forever.
TPDDL representative further added about the status of their Rithala Gas Station that
Scheme for utilization of Gas Based Power Generation Capacity” issued by Ministry
of Power vide Office Memorandum dated 27th Mar 2015 envisages supply of imported
spot RLNG “e bid RLNG” to stranded gas based plants as well as plants receiving
domestic gas upto target PLF of 25% to 30% during the year 2015-16 and 2016-17. The
scheme has provisions for reviving the operations of 14000 MW of stranded gas based
assets and TPDDL Rithala Plant is eligible for support under the scheme. The details of
the scheme were shared with all stakeholders by Ministry of Power through a discussion
forum organized on 31st March 2015 at Scope Complex, NTPC and comments were also
invited from stakeholders. The scheme envisages a cut from all stakeholders to ensure
that stranded assets are given a chance of revival. The support under this scheme shall be
for a period of 2 years during which MoP shall be taking concrete steps to make gas
available to power plant to run at their partial / full capabilities. TPDDL has already
responded to the Ministry of Power on the same expressing its intent to revive the Rithala
65
Plant under the scheme and is awaiting further details of the scheme and the response
from MoP on the same. The issues raised before the Govt. of India, Ministry of Power are
as under:-
a) Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited had set up a 94.8 MW Gas Based Generation
Plant at Delhi in Oct 2010. The Plant was set up with the objective of having captive,
load center (in Delhi) power generation for enhancing reliability, meeting the supply
deficits and ensure islanding capabilities in case of Grid Distress/ collapse, an
eventuality, which had happened many times in the past and which reoccurred on
30/31.07.2012. Further, it was also important in view of the upcoming Commonwealth
Games which were to be held in Delhi in 2010. Considering the importance of the Plant,
it was allocated 0.4 MMSCMD gas from the KG D6 basin by the Ministry of Petroleum
and Natural Gas. The plant has been in operation since Oct 2010 to Feb 2013 to the
extent of availability of KG D6 basin gas.
b) Supply to Gas Based Plants from KG D6 basin was curtailed since 1st March 2013 as per
Gas Utilization Policy of Govt. of India which allocates higher priority to LPG and
Fertilizers, consequently the Plant has not been in operation since Mar 2013, except for
one day in June 2013 wherein it was operated on Spot Gas to provide power when severe
storm disrupted the partial power supply to Delhi from other sources. While adequate
Spot Gas tie up exists for the Plant, the same is currently not being dispatched on account
of high costs associated with Spot RLNG.
c) The Scheme issued by Ministry of Power has provided us with some hope of sustaining
the operations of the Plant during the Financial Year 2015-16 and 2016-17 during which
more concrete steps could be taken to make gas available from other sources to operate
the stranded assets to their full capabilities. TPDDL has gone through the scheme in
detail and also attended the discussion on 31st March 2015 where this scheme was
elaborately presented for the benefit of stakeholders.
d) TPDDL like to make certain submissions regarding the scheme and especially for
operationalizing our plant in the capital city of Delhi.
e) Considering that the plants shall operate at 30% PLF, we believe that the plants shall
experience high Station Heat Rates which shall increase the cost of Generation and the
cap of Rs. 6.44/ unit ( Rs. 5.50/ unit net purchase price + Rs. 0.94/unit support from
PSDF) is inadequate to support the generation costs + O&M Costs and Debt Servicing of
plants. We would like to understand the Genesis, costs of RLNG and SHR considered by
MoP to arrive at the base figures in the scheme. This shall help us to provide more
elaborate views.
f) The Scheme envisages that the risk of dispatch is to be borne by the Developers and that
plants operating under this scheme shall not be considered as “Must Run Plants” by
concerned Load Despatch Centers. We believe that this is a huge risk to be borne
considering that today power is available in short term markets at an average rate of Rs.
66
3-4/unit and that conventional plants operating today on coal would have a much lower
cost that is Rs. 5.50/unit. Under these conditions, until the Plants are declared as Must
Run, there shall be no buyers for the expensive power. As all stakeholders are taking
some cuts in the scheme including foregoing of entire RoE by developers, we believe that
utilities must also be made to participate in the scheme to purchase power from these
plants. Alternatively, a risk sharing mechanism for non dispatch should be worked out to
insulate the developers from “Take or Pay” obligations under the scheme.
g) There should be some additional dispensation for plants like that of TPDDL ours
operating in the capital of the country and instrumental in providing relief in case of Grid
distress/ emergencies.
h) TPDDL shall await for the sharing of Genesis for the Target Price and Support Price in
the scheme, we have worked out the total costs for operating our plant at the Target PL
taking some assumptions on the gas price , waiver of CST/VAT etc and cuts in marketing
margin and transmission tariff by GAIL.
i) As per the computations as detailed below, the landed costs for Discoms while operating
at a PLF of 30% shall be Rs. 9.59/unit.

j) As such, it is requested to review the Target Price and Ceiling Support Price under the
scheme. We would also request that some additional time be provided for
operationalizing the scheme in order to provide adequate time for a) Obtaining approval
from Regulatory Commission for supply power to Discoms at the rates mentioned in the
scheme and b) for State Govts to provide relevant waiver.
In view of the above, TPDDL requested for modification of Minutes of the meeting on
27.03.2015 through a Corrigendum indicating the change in circumstances which has
brought about the possibility of operating the plant immediately and continue doing so till
the end of its useful life. They also informed that that surplus power in Delhi scenario is
not attributed to Rithala plant's operations in any manner which was the focus point of
discussions in the meeting and hence requested for amendment of Minutes and
Corrigendum be issued to reflect the true state of affairs for clear records.
SLDC representative stated that the issue of surrender of power from various sources has
already been under the consideration of DERC vide petition no.23/2015 filed by BRPL
and 24/2015 filed by BYPL and petition no.11/2014 filed by TPDDL
State Government would be apprised of the above discussions.
3.4 IMMEDIATE REVIVAL OF 400KV CABLES EMANATING FROM BAMNAULI

PPCL in connection with their upcoming Bamnauli CCGT Station has converted the
overhead portions of all 400kV transmission lines emanating from 400kV Bamnauli

SLDC representative presented the importance of revival of the circuits on the original
system as at present, two circuits are on ERS and causing Delhi 400kV Ring System
more vulnerable due to which the entire Northern Grid System’s stability is also affected.
Summer is approaching fast as such apart from picking up of load, the possibility of
storms can also not be ruled out. As such, the circuits which are on ERS (one of which is
in operation since last one year) are required to be restored immediately on normal
system for ensuring safety and security of the Grid. Load is also restricted to half of the
capacity in ERS system due to which load regulation also becomes tedious as load flows
on the circuits depends upon system parameters which are not under the control of system
operators. He has also cited 2-3 examples of tripping of the existing circuits in which
Grid also escaped narrowly from total collapse of Delhi system along with Punjab,
Haryana, Himachal etc.
PPCL representative informed that they are vigoursly following up with their OEM.
On a query of any study carried out on the failure of cables as two circuits failed while
normalising the system after taking the shut-down (400kV Bamnauli – Jhatikara Ckt-II
on 11.06.2014 at 19.42hrs. and 400kV Bamnauli –Ballabhgarh Ckt-II on 01.01.2015 at
17.01hrs). The other circuit i.e. 400kV Bamnauli – Jhatikara Ckt-I cable end box
damaged on running conditions on 16.03.2015 at 19.43hrs., GM (O&M)-I, DTL
intimated that as per Indian Electric Act, CEA is the competent authority to carry out the
study and suggest remedial measures. It was also informed that LS Cable has assigned
the task of the study of cable failures to M/s KEEMA considering the specialty of the
system of 400kV overhead cum underground terminations. We have to wait till the final
report comes.
GCC advised PPCL to vigorously monitor and ensure the restoration of the system
on original scheme for ensuring stability of the Grid.

21.1MVAR is sufficient to
meet the load of MES.
However for voltage
regulation they have
planned additional
capacity at LT level for
2013-14.
Total 473.6 97.56
As per the CPRI study, no additional capacitor is required to be installed in Delhi,

however, it was recommended that certain capacitors are required to be re-orientated.
Proper maintenance of the existing capacitors was also recommended. To control high
voltages, it was recommended to install proper capacity reactors.
As follow up action, a meeting was held in the SLDC on 18.02.2015 wherein the
representatives of Discoms, PGCIL etc attended. The gist of the decisions are as under:-
1 It was agreed that all Discoms would submit their observations after detailed study of
CPRI report by 28.02.2015 which would be forwarded to CPRI for their comments.
Planning Department would arrange CPRI participation in the next meeting.
2 Since regional capacitor study for 2015-16 is already under way by NRLDC, Delhi
SLDC should involve in study by providing requisite data.
GCC advised Planning Department of DTL to immediately finalize the

requirements of additional capacitor etc. in coordination with Discoms, Generators
and CPRI.
3.6 REPLACEMENT OF CONDUCTORS OF 220KV NARELA – ROHTAK ROAD

DOUBLE CKT LINE.
In the last meeting, the representative of the Planning Deptt. of DTL informed that by
2015-16 the outlet from the 400kV ISTS at Inderlok (earlier Karampura) to 220kV
Rohtak Road S/Stn. is proposed to be established. As such, the proposal of LILO of
71
220kV Wazirpur - Peeragarhi (one circuit) at Rohtak Road is dropped. BBMB was to be
approached for re-conductoring of existing 220kV Narela - Rohtak Road D/C Line with
HTLS conductors.
DTL was advised by GCC to expedite the HTLS re-conductoring of 220kV Narela-
Rohtak Road D/C Line for reliability of supply, it was also emphasized the timely
completion of proposed 220kV outlet from the upcoming ISTS from Inderlok to Rohtak
Road.
DTL’s Planning Department representative reported that the 400kV Karam Pura
substation may be functional only by the end of 2017. BBMB would soon be approached
for LILO of one of the 220kV circuits between Wazirpur & Peeragarhi at Rohtak Road
substation to facilitate the augmentation of the conductors of 220kV Rohtak Road-Narela
double circuit line.
GCC advised DTL to expedite the work.
3.7 SHUT-DOWN OF TRANSMISSION / DISTRIBUTION LINES TO BE AVAILED

BY DMRC
It was informed by DMRC that following shut-downs are required for DMRC works:-
i) 400kV Dadri – Ballabhgarh D/C line for 30 days in connection with the work of
line-8 (Janakpuri – Botanical Garden, Noida). Entire Maharani Bagh S/Stn would
be left without 400kV infeed during the shut-down period.
ii) 400kV Mundka – Bawana Ckt-I & II for Phase-III expansion of DMRC. The
shut-down is required for about 30 days.
DMRC representative informed that they could not wait upto October as the DMRC work
would be remained hurdled if the shut-downs are not allowed before that for which the
contracts are likely to be finalized with Powergrid soon. He also assured the service of
line through ERS during shut-down period.
GCC advised that the shut-downs cannot be allowed during the peak summer
season at least during the period May 2015 to August 2015 even with ERS as the
transmission circuits through ERS reduces the transmission capacity. DMRC was
accordingly advised.

3.10 CONNECTIVITY OF BTPS WITH THE GRID (Agenda by BTPS)
BTPS representative informed that interconnection of 220kV BTPS – Mehrauli feeders at

Bamnauli ensures additional connectivity of BTPS with the Grid. Sometimes, this
connectivity removed depending upon the real time situation. They requested for prior
intimation of such disconnection for alertness.
76
They further requested for feasibility and connectivity of 220kV BTPS- Noida feeder
with Grid be evaluated and action plan be communicated to them.
SLDC representative informed that generally 220kV BTPS System is connected through
220kV Bus coupler at Mehrauli substation with Bamnauli system in addition to 220kV
BTPS-Ballabhgarh double circuit line. The Bus coupler at Mehrauli gets opened only on
exceptional cases which would be intimated to BTPS as and when it is done. At present,
220kV BTPS-Noida-Gazipur Circuit is not in service since 17.09.14 due to cable faults.
The cable portion of the circuit is being replaced due to repeated faults. The circuit is
suspected by 30.06.2015. It was also informed that at present Patparganj load is also fed
through 220kV Maharani Bagh - Gazipur - Patparganj route. There is no additional
power available at Gazipur through 220kV Mahrani Bagh - Gazipur circuits to feed
BTPS also, however, it was assured that in case of emergency Gazipur supply can be
extended up to BTPS through 220kV Maharani Bagh – Gazipur – Noida - BTPS circuit.
In case of emergency, BTPS can avail load on the circuit (220kV Gazipur – Noida -
BTPS) with prior permission of SLDC.
GCC advised SLDC and BTPS accordingly.

It was evident from the above that during the year 2014-2015 out of 52 weeks, 18 weeks
Delhi is payable whereas during the year 2015-16 so far out of 9 weeks, Delhi is payable
in 7 weeks. It was also explained that as per the DSM regulations, the payable utility has
to pay the amount within 10 days of issue of the accounts by NRPC. It was feared that
without inflow in the account, the available amount in the pool balance which is about
350 Crores available with SLDC would be exhausted soon as Delhi SLDC has to pay to
the regional pool within 10 days of the issue of the accounts to avoid the legal wrangles
for non payment of the dues. As such, SLDC requested all defaulting utilities to pay the
dues immediately.
It was further informed that DERC in its order dated 29.12.2014 had directed SLDC to
take appropriate action to recover dues from BRPL.
SLDC representative informed that as decided in the last GCC meeting, the detailed
calculation of interest for 2013-14 has been forwarded to all stakeholders to check the
same and for the purpose of adjustment and payment. The reconciliation exercise would
have been completed by 31.01.2015 but so far only TPDDL has done their reconciliation
and the available payment has been released to them. The other utilities have not
responded so far. The details of interest payment due as per SLDC computation upto
Week-52/2014-15 are as under:
UTILITY AMOUNT IN RUPEES CRORES
RECEIVABLE (+) / PAYABLE (-) BY THE UTILITIES
TPDDL -1.1203548
BRPL 35.1101915
BYPL -19.9609235
NDMC -4.9652248
MES -1.2727742
IPGCL -0.4651370
PPCL -1.3062075
BTPS 1.0411129
TOTAL 7.0606826
It was also explained that the interest available has been proportionately proposed to be
disbursed / adjusted as shown in the last column of the table above.
GCC expressed displeasure for delay in reconciliation. It was further decided that
the final chances may be given for reconciliation be given upto 1100 hrs on
29.04.2015 failing which the computation of SLDC be treated as final and no request
for reconciliation beyond that be accepted. The payment proposed by SLDC for
disbursement/adjustment in respect of interest of 2013-14 be done accordingly. It
was also advised that final chance be given for clearance of dues of defaulting
utilities (15 days) after that necessary legal proceedings be initiated for recovery of
dues.

They request to provide the justification and supporting documents in large variation in
a) Coal rate from Rs. 4196/MT to Rs. 5024/MT for BTPS and Rs.5058 to Rs.
5126/MT for Dadri-II
b) GCV billed by CIL varies from 3402 to 5372 Kcal/Kg for BTPS
c) GCV billed by CIL for Dadri-II not provided.
They also requested to take necessary steps to minimize the gap in GCV from `Billed’ to
Às received’.
They were of the view that these parameters are the back bone of merit order despatch
principle and post facto variations defeat very essence of merit order despatch. A
proactive approach on continuous basis from NTPC is requested for ensuring reduction of
Discoms power purchase cost thereby leading to reduction in consumer tariff.
81
NTPC representative intimated that they have been giving all details along with the bills
as mandated by Tariff Regulations. He has further offered for any detailed discussions
with the beneficiaries to clear the doubts in this regard. He cited relevant explanations
given by CERC in Explanatory Memorandum-Draft Terms and Conditions for
Tariff Regulations 2014-19 (Page-179 of Clause 15.5.11) to deal fuel shortages.
Scheduling of Power in case of Fuel Shortages
15.5.11 With regards to scheduling of power in case of fuel shortages the Commission is of the
view that securing fuel is prime responsibility of generator and in case of non
fulfillment of supply of committed quantity of coal the generator is free to procure
either e-auction coal or imported coal and schedule power on the basis of the same. If
the generator is not able to schedule power due to fuel shortage the same shall be
considered as loss in availability of the unit or station as the case may be.
He informed that NTPC follows the above principle in letter & spirit.
SLDC representative mentioned that a case of similar issues is going on in CERC in

Petition No.MP-33/2014 filed by TPDDL in the matter of despute arising as a result of
non furnishing of details by NTPC and DVC in terms of Regulation 21 of the Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009.
RoP dated 12.02.2015 in the petition has also been cited as under:
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted as under:

(a) Pursuant to the Commission`s direction, a meeting between officials of the parties
was convened by the petitioner in which the representative of NTPC participated.
The representative of DVC was not present. The meeting did not yield any results.
(b) The respondents are not providing the details and break-up of the fuels in
compliance with Regulation 30 (7) of the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (Terms and Condi tons of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 (2014 Tariff
Regulations);
(c) Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) vide order dated 14.11.2014
disallowed Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charges (PPAC) on the ground that
complete information regarding pricing of fuel and billing of power generated at
their stations had not been furnished;
(d) The respondents should justify any drastic difference between cost of coal
mentioned in the website of Coal India Ltd. for the grade of coal as received/as
fired by the generating station and that claimed by the generating companies as
provided in Form 15 of Tariff Regulations.
82
(e) The respondents should not be permitted to recover the fuel cost without
furnishing adequate details which entitle the petitioner to recover such cost in the
form of PPAC from its consumers. At present, the petitioner is making continuous
payments to the generating companies for the energy received but the fuel
surcharge is not being allowed by DERC.
(f) DVC has refused to provide copy of the power bills for the last quarter despite
reminders.
(g) As per Section 39 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a mandatory injunction must be
granted directing the generating stations to recover energy charge only when the
same is supported by details as per the Regulations. All the requirements for
grant of mandatory injunction under Section 39 have been satisfied.
2. Learned counsel for NTPC and DVC submitted as under:
(a) The attempt made by the petitioner purporting to act as per the directions given
by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission and seeking particulars, is
contrary to the scheme and provisions of the Act. The generating tariff of the
respondents is regulated by the Central Commission in terms of Section 79 (1) of
the Act. In terms of Rule 8 of the Electricity Rules, 2005, the tariff determined by
the Central Commission for generating companies is binding and cannot be
reopened either directly or indirectly at the instance of any of the State Electricity
Regulatory Commission.
(b) (b) NTPC has already furnished to the petitioner the information in respect of all
NTPC stations regarding the fuel cost details for the period April 2014 to October
2014 as per the provisions of Tariff Regulations.
(c) NTPC has given the requisite documents, namely GCV of coal on ‘as received
basis’ as per the 2014 Tariff Regulations and details of the actual amount paid to
the coal companies for the quantum of coal purchased on monthly basis.
(d) The aspect on the grade slippage from the time of loading till the measurement on
‘as received basis’ has been a subject matter of representation to the Govt. of
India and the proceedings before the Competition Commission of India. There is
no option to proceed on the basis that there is a grade slippage in regard to the
GCV measured at the time of loading and measured at the time on ‘as received
basis’ till an acceptable and satisfactory resolution.
3. Due to paucity of time, learned counsel for the parties could not complete their
arguments.
4. The Commission directed to list the matter for hearing on 27.2.2015.
83
It was also informed that the RoP of 27.022015 has not been uploaded in CERC website.
After discussions GCC decided that the matter may mutually be resolved by BRPL
& NTPC. GCC also noted that the CERC is already considering such issues.
4.3 TAKE OR PAY CHARGES ARISING OUT OF MINIMUM GUARANTEE OFF

TAKE (MGO of Gas) – Agenda by BRPL.
BRPL informed that IPGCL vide their letter dated 03.03.2015 has raised the claim of
minimum off take charge of Rs. 91.02 Crores against the pay for `not taken liability due
to less scheduling of generation in the GTPS’. The generation position of GTPS in the
year 2014 and 2015 are as under:-
Sr. Period DC of SC received from PLF of GTPS

No. GTPS SLDC
1 Jan-Dec-2014 69.29% 40.87% 41.22%
2 Jan-Feb-2015 77.32% 40.51% 40.81%
IPGCL has further informed in the communication that due to the less scheduling by
SLDC / Discoms, the RLNG consumption was less than the contract. According to GSA
Clause-14/1, GTPS have to consume 90% of the allocated quantity of gas otherwise the
Take or Pay clause is applicable. During the contract year 2014, total annual take for pay
deficiency in respect of GTPS worked out to be 4553705MMBTU and the pay for not
taken liability of 434.76 Crores. GAIL has demanded a sum of Rs. 91.02 Crores against
the pay for if not taken liability in line with the Clause-14.1(c) of the GSA. The ‘’pay for
if not taken liability’’ is to be borne by Discoms.
BRPL is further of the view that as per the IEGC provisions, scheduling has to be done
on merit order despatch principle by SLDC. Since the per unit variable cost of the gas
based power station has increased significantly, these plants have moved towards less
priority on MoD list leading less scheduling. Since the information pertaining to gas
allocation, actual gas consumption and impact of take or pay is known only by Gencos
not either by SLDC or Discoms. As such, IPGC/ PPCL should provide the prudent plant
with cost benefit analysis in day ahead/ week ahead / monthly format to SLDC as well as
Discoms in view of FSA / GSA / Take or Pay / ECR for cost effective scheduling from
these plants.
SLDC informed that they have expressed their views in the letter dated 16.03.2015 that it
is the responsibility of the generating companies to impress upon their beneficiaries for
optimum scheduling considering all aspects such as MGO penalties etc.
The issue was discussed in the Delhi OCC meeting held on 24.03.2015, the decision of
which is appended hereunder:-
84
“GTPS and PPCL received very less schedule from SLDC / Discoms in comparison of
DC of GTPS and PPCL. As per the Long Term RLNG Gas Sale Agreement with M/s
GAIL, GTPS and PPCL has to consumer 90% of allocated quantity of gases otherwise
take or pay clause shall be applicable. However, during the current financial year, for
PPCL utilization of allocated gas is in the range of 65-75% which implies PPCL is liable
to pay MGO (Minimum Guarantted Off take of gas) charges to M/s GAIL as the
utilization of the gas is less than 90% as per the agreement. Similarly, GTPS was
demanded Rs. 91.02 Crores by M/s GAIL against the `Pay for if not taken liability’.
GTPS informed that `Pay for if not taken liability has to be bear by Discoms’
Further, GTPS and PPCL requested SLDC to increase the generation schedule so that
their consumption of allocated quantity of gas by M/s GAIL shall be 90% and avoid any
penalty.
Members from GTPS (IPGCL) and PPCL did not attend the meeting for deliberation on
the same. However, OCC advised Discoms to take up with GENCOs regarding
scheduling”.
IPGCL/PPCL representative informed that they have vigorously following up with gas
supply authorities to withdraw the claim. They hoped that they will succeed the same,
however, they cautioned that in case it is not withdrawn as per the PPA conditions the
beneficiaries are required to bear the same. They also agreed to provide the MGO
quantum on quarterly basis and would intimate optimum scheduling to avert the penalty
clause in future.
GCC noted the assurance of IPGCL/PPCL and advised accordingly.
4 HOSTING OF NEXT MEETING OF GCC
Convener GCC requested MES to host next meeting of GCC which is likely to be held
during last week of August 2015 or 1st week of September 2015. MEs representative
informed that they would taken up the matter with concerned authorities in their
organization and would be informed accordingly.
5 ANY OTHER ITEM SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF THE CHAIR
No item was put forth for discussion.

6 CONCLUSION
Chairperson, GCC thanked all the participants for lively discussions. He expressed
sincere thanks to BTPS authorities for the excellent arrangements made to conduct the
meeting. Convener, GCC also expressed sincere thanks on behalf of GCC to BTPS
authorities for making excellent arrangements for the meeting. G.M. BTPS reciprocated
the thanks.
The meeting ended with thanks to the Chair.

Gist of discussions and decisions are as under:-
Intra State Generating Stations.
a) Closure of RPH Plant
It was intimated by SLDC that during this summer, the closing of RPH Plant would
create transmission constraints to meet the peak demand of more than 6000MW.
However considering the commissioning of 220kV Patparganj – Gazipur 1000mm2 cable
and the possibility of re-conductoring of 220kV Wazirabad – Geeta Colony D/C line to
high capacity conductors, the closure of RPH units won’t cause any constraints. As such,
in System Operation point of view, RPH plant can be closed down immediately after
summer 2015 i.e. after 30.09.2015. The average cost of the generation is as under:-

The environmental issues are also being encountered for running the units. The units
have also outlived their useful life as Unit-1 (67.5MW capacity) was commissioned in the
year May 1990 (67.5MW capacity) and Unit-2 was commissioned during January 1990
as the normal life of the plant is 25 years. Due to aging of the plant, the efficiency of the
plant has also come down. During last summer season, the plant could not deliver 60%
of the capacity as detailed hereunder:-

It was also pointed out that as per the ARR filed by IPGCL for the year 2015-16, they
have claimed the fixed cost of Rs. 175.13 Crores per annum with an estimated variable
cost of Rs. 3.51 / unit (further subject to fuel price adjustment on month-to-month basis)
making the composite cost of Rs. 5.76/unit.
All beneficiaries of RPH requested the State Govt. to close down RPH Plant forever
so that fixed charges liability along with variable charges can be get rid off as the
transmission constraints would be eased after the commissioning of 220kV Patpar
Ganj–Gazipur link and re-conductoring of 220kV Wazirabad–Geeta Colony line.
The Forum decided to recommend the State Govt accordingly.
b) Closure of PPCL’s Pragati Station
SLDC informed that from the System Studies, it is evident that due to the inadequate
transmission system, during summer months both the units of the station are required till
the establishment of 400kV Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) at RPH. However,
during the period of October to March, the entire station can be closed down and divert
the gas to Bawana CCGT to efficiently utilize its capacity being the high efficient
machines.
Distribution Companies expressed their strong resentment of continuous operation of the

plant due to non-commissioning of transmission system to get rid off the costly
generation. The cost of the supply of the plant is as under:-

It was also pointed out that in the ARR filed by PPCL for the year 2015-16, they have
claimed the fixed cost of Rs. 238.76 Crores per annum which is Rs. 25 Crores more than
the present level with an estimated variable cost of Rs. 4.36/unit (further subject to fuel
price adjustment on month-to-month basis) making the composite cost of Rs. 5.36/unit.

The plant has so far not completed its useful life as the normal life of Gas Turbine Plant
is 15 years.

Director (Operations), DTL informed that Loop-In-Loop-Out of one ckt. Of 220kV

Pragati – Sarita Vihar at Maharani Bagh is expected before summer 2016 and other
circuit by summer 2017. The ISTS at RPH is also expected by summer 2017. The
adequate transmission system to get rid of present 330MW capacity at Pragati can be
expected by summer 2017.
Considering the overall system, the Forum was of the view that full generation of
Pragati Stage-I be maintained during summer months and the gas allocation of
entire station be diverted to Bawana CCGT during the period October to March till
the ISTS is commissioned at RPH as the Bawana CCGT generation cost is cheaper
than Pragati Stage-I being high efficient plant as under:-

After the commissioning of 400kV ISTS at RPH with outlets at RPH, the entire
Pragati Stage-I station may be closed down if the generating company could not
assure the cheap gas to run the plant, to get rid off the fixed charges liabilities for
non utilization period.

c) Closure of IPGCL’s GT Station
Distribution utilities intimated that the cost of GT Station of IPGCL is very high (about
Rs. 5.50/-) as evident hereunder:-

465.80 351.20 358.10 372.90 553.20 416.70 551.38
They further requested the closure of the station immediately. They also informed that
the plant has already completed its useful life as evident from the date of commissioning
of units :
GT-1 30 17.06.1986
GT-2 30 20.06.1986

--7--
SLDC informed that this is the only station having Black Start facility and hence two
block of GT i.e. 150MW during summer months April to October and one block (75MW)
during November to March be made available. Balance gas be diverted to Bawana
CCGT.
Discoms were of the view that there is no technical constraint in closing down if not now
but definitely after September 2015. Black Start is a very rare incident and for that
purpose running the plant throughout the year and burden the consumer is neither
justified and nor desirable. In case, it is required to be in operation for ensuring black
start facility, only one block i.e. two GTs and one STG is sufficient. Rest two blocks
should be closed down forever from October 2015 and gas allocation should be diverted
to Bawana CCGT.
It was also pointed out that as per ARR filed by IPGCL for the year 2015-16, they have
claimed the fixed cost of Rs. 198.24 Crores per annum with an estimated variable cost of
Rs.3.73 / unit (further subject to fuel price adjustment on month-to-month basis) making
the composite cost of Rs. 4.81/unit.
The Forum was of the view that the decision of closing of GT Station be left to State
Government considering the black start facility available and the overall interest of
the consumers.
d) Closing down of BTPS
This plant is one of costliest sources. Moreover, plant has outlived its life and age of the
units is 30-40 years. Out of five units of BTPS, 3X95 units are very old and highly
inefficient. The cost of the generation is as under:-

--8--
The life of the station has already exhausted as evident from date of commissioning of
units:-
1 95 26.07.1973
2 95 05.08.1974
3 95 29.03.1975
4 210 02.12.1978
5 210 25.12.1981
All the Discoms including NDMC and MES is of the view that BTPS should be closed
from October 2015 considering its very high cost and already completed its useful life.
Further, it was informed that BTPS is going for Renovation and Mordernization activities
at the cost of around at Rs. 741/- Crores as per the CERC order dated 12.05.2011 in
petition no.324/2009 which will further enhance the cost of generation at BTPS. As per
the order, it was suggested that both the units of 210MW machines would be renovated
for extension of its life by 20 years more. It was also suggested in the tariff of BTPS
issued by CERC that 95MW units should be phased out and the minimum capital should
be infused for ensuring their operation till the units are fully phased out. Discoms
requested that Delhi Govt. should take immediate steps to stop such R&M activities to
reduce the burden on consumers.
SLDC intimated that at present, the closing of BTPS during summer season would
severely affect the power supply as the import source at BTPS apart from the generation
is 220kV Ballabhgarh – BTPS Double Circuit line owned by BBMB. The lines are quite
old and restricted capacity is 150MW each. In the present conditions, even with full
generation during peak summer, the lines are getting loaded beyond 150MW capacity
and in case of closure, the loading on the circuits would cross more than 450MW each
which would not survive the system. The transmission system can be improved only
after commissioning of 400kV Tuglakabad System which is being established under Inter
State Transmission System (ISTS) and commissioning of 220kV outlet from the station.
As such, during summer months, particularly May to September, full generation i.e.
600MW is required to be ensured. From the past experience, it is evident whenever any
machine at BTPS of 210MW capacity goes under shut-down, load shedding was
inevitable during summer months. As such, for system stability point of view, the plant
should run till the commissioning of 400kV ISTS at Tuglakabad which is expected by
March 2017 as per the present indications.

The beneficiary Discoms further insisted that if not possible to close entire plant, at least
all 3X95MW units should be closed permanently after September 2015.
Director (Operations), DTL cautioned that even at present, only 20-30% internal
generation (load centre based) is available in Delhi and any further reduction in
generation at load centres, the reliability of power supply would definitely affected. He
also cautioned that the operation of much publicized Delhi Islanding Scheme which was
devised to safely island Delhi Power System from the Grid in the case of Grid eventuality
would be affected severely in case of closing down of all such load centre based
generation.
SLDC representative substantiated the statement of Director (Operations) and presented

the contribution of Delhi generation at the time of occurrence of peak during 2014-15 as

The representatives of the Distribution utilities opined that considering the massive
corrective steps taken by all utilities after the 30th and 31st July 2012 Grid Disturbances
occurred in country and considering the much improved stability of power system, the
possibility of occurrences of such Grid disturbances for which Islanding Schemes are
devised, are remote. As such, to take care of such remote chances of Grid eventualities, it
is not proper to force the Distribution utilities to utilize such costlier generation thereby
burdening the consumers.
CWE(U), MES emphasized that PGCIL which is implementing ISTS at RPH and
Tuglakabad and DTL who is the implementing agency for associated downstream
transmission system should be made responsible to implement the respective systems as
per stipulated time or should be pressurized to be implemented before time as is being
done in case of Military System to get rid off the costly generation.
It was also emphasized that the reallocation of capacity of 3X95MW units of BTPS i.e.
285MW out of 705MW total installed capacity may be persued with Central Government
after September 2015. 285MW capacity allocation was made to Madhya Pradesh from
01.10.14 to 31.03.15 by the Central Government. However, on the request of Madhya
Pradesh, the Central Govt. restored the allocation back to Delhi from 26.12.2014. Such
allocation would always beneficial as the benefit of generation at load centre can be
availed by Delhi. If the plant can not be closed down
99
-11-
now, the Central Govt. may be persuaded to allocate the 285MW capacity to needy
states from 01.10.2015 forever.
Considering the overall views, the Forum decided to recommend the State Govt to
take up the matter with NTPC to avoid infusion of additional funds for R&M
activities for already outlived inefficient plant. It was also decided to request the
State Govt to impress upon the Central Govt. to reallocate 285MW capacity as was
done during the period 01.10.2014 to 25.12.2014, for forever. The reallocation of
power would not only reduce the fixed cost liability but also would not create system
constraints as the plant would actually in operation. If that possibility does not
succeed, it would have no option but to close the 3X95MW units during October to
March till the commissioning of ISTS and associated transmission system at
Tuglakabad. The possibility of decommissioning of 95MW capacity after 30.09.2015
should also be studied considering overall system improvement works being
undertaken by DTL.
e) Closure of Rithala CCGT
The Rithala CCGT Plant commercially declared commissioned as under:-

Unit Capacity in MW Date of Date of commercial
commissioning operation
GT-1 31.6 06.12.2010 05.02.2011
GT-2 31.6 03.10.2010 05.02.2011
STG 31.6 08.07.2011 04.09.2011
Total 94.8 Total station : 04.09.2011
Due to non availability of Gas since last two years, the station is not in operation.
TPDDL representative informed that neither the tariff nor the PPA has been approved by
DERC although petition in this matter has been submitted in DERC in 2009.
It was further informed that even during operation of the plant, full cost was not allowed
in the ARR of TPDDL but on the contrary during the time of over drawl, pooled purchase
cost was allowed whereas during under drawal, UI cost was allowed. It was also clarified
that they have claimed the fixed charges of Rs. 96 Crores per annum but still pending in
DERC. SLDC informed the generation details of Rithala plant as under:-

--12--
Considering the overall situation of gas in the country and to avoid the burdening
the fixed charges, through it is not approved, but still the claim is alive, the Forum
advised TPDDL to de-commission the plant immediately.
Inter State Generating Stations
i) On the recommendations of Delhi Power Procurement Group, one of the costliest sources
namely Aravali Jhajjar allocation to Delhi i.e. 693MW capacity has been reallocated to
needy states upto 31.03.2016.
ii) From 756MW capacity allocation of Delhi out of 840MW installed capacity of Dadri
(Thermal) Stage-I, 180MW (TPDDL share) has been reallocated to Bihar during the
period from 10.09.2014 to 31.08.2015.
iii) 260MW capacity allocation of Dadri (Thermal)-II, (100MW share of TPDDL and
161MW share of BRPL out of 735MW capacity) out of total 980MW capacity of the
station has been reallocated to Bihar from 14.11.2014 to 31.03.2015.
iv) There is no technical constraint in surrendering of any the share of Central Sector
Generation Stations outside Delhi.
v) The costlier source of thermal and gas generation should be surrendered during the period
October to March every year to get rid off fixed and variable charges liabilities. The
details of costlier gas and thermal stations (more than Rs. 4 above) are as under:-
Name of the Capacity Capacity Fixed Fixed Variable Total in
station of the allocation charges in charges Charges Ps/Unit

Auriya (GPS) 663 72 253 53 422 475
Dadri (GPS) 830 91 325 54 420 474
vi) To meet the shortfall, which may occur in maximum 12 hours in a day may be met from
day ahead purchases from Power Exchanges depending upon the requirement.
101
--13--
vii) As per the Market Monitoring Cell Report available in the website of CERC, the power
market rate in the exchange during the April 2014 to December 2014 was as under:-
Month Max rate in Rs. / Min rate in Weighted Average

Unit Rs/Unit rate in Rs/Unit
Apr 2014 15.00 1.78 3.42
May 2014 20.00 1.55 3.26
Jun 2014 10.62 1.32 3.71
Jul 2014 19.00 1.07 3.50
Aug 2014 10.80 1.00 4.33
Sep 2014 8.51 1.17 4.14
Oct 2014 20.00 1.10 4.33
Nov 2014 20.00 1.37 2.97
Dec 2014 20.00 1.10 3.85
From the above, it would be prudent to purchase power from market for shortage period
which is not more than 12 hours during winter month rather than keeping the allocation
forcing the purchase on round the clock basis upto technical minimum level of 70% of
the capacity.
Views of different Discoms regarding reallocation of power from various stations were as
under:-
i) BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL who have the shares from Dadri Gas, Anta Gas and Auriya
Gas have proposed reallocation of their entire allocation from these stations from October
2015 permanently due to the fact that these stations generates 40% of its capacity due to
non availability of gas and Discoms have to bear 100% fixed cost of these stations
thereby burdening of consumers.
ii) NDMC which is having allocation from Dadri (Thermal) Stage-I unit has expressed their
desire to surrender NDMC’s share during October to March.
iii) BRPL proposed to surrender 200MW from Dadri (Thermal)-II but desire to keep its full
share from Dadri (Thermal)-I considering the shortages during October to March. Further
they expressed that the rate of day ahead of bilateral power during peak hours is more
than the total cost of power from the station as evident from the above table.
iv) TPDDL also proposed to surrender 200MW from Dadri (Thermal)-II but desire to keep
its full share from Dadri (Thermal)-I considering the shortages during October to March
due to reasons mentioned above.
v) BYPL does not intend to surrender any power from Dadri (Thermal)-I & II due to
ongoing regulations of power from DVC, SJVN etc.

In case of above proposals are materialized, the power position supply position for
October 2015 – March 2016 is likely to be as under:-
