Rajasamand distt.,
1 0012100007 Hindustan Zinc Limited Bulk Consumer 25.07.2022 NR 01.07.2024 200
Rajasthan
➢ It was informed that M/s Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL) had applied for connectivity to the ISTS for 200 MW as a bulk consumer located
at Rajasamand distt., Rajasthan with start date of Connectivity as 01/07/2024. As per the application, the bulk consumer entity is
located close to the existing 400/220 kV Kankroli (PG) substation.
➢ It was deliberated that as clause 1.4 of CERC Detailed Procedure “The applicant (Generator/bulk consumer) already connected to
grid (regional or state grid) or for which connectivity is already granted under the present arrangement, shall not be allowed to apply
for additional connectivity for the same capacity. In case of extension of capacity of generator or bulk consumer, however, it shall be
required to make application for connectivity as per the provisions of these procedures.” Accordingly, M/s HZL may inform regarding
details of their present Connectivity arrangement with RVPNL (STU), along with configuration of loads (Sanctioned & Connected)
and embedded generation (if any). Further, it was noted that in the CERC regulation, there is no provision of Dual Connectivity for
same load as mentioned above, therefore, in case HZL is getting its demand served from RVPN/Rajasthan Discoms, have HZL
approached/informed the utility for disconnection of connected load.
➢ On this HZL informed that they have total load of 193 MW for which they have 2x91 MW captive thermal generation as well as 95
MVA sanctioned load from RVPN/DISCOM. M/s HZL is planning to phase out their thermal generation and intend to supply their
entire load from RE resources towards net-zero endeavor for sustainability. M/s HZL/Sterlite is planning to source RE power from
their project in Maharashtra. However, they also intend to remain connected to RVPN as backup arrangement with minimum
sanctioned load possible (say 20-30 MVA). However, they have not yet applied/approached to RVPNL for disconnection from their
220 kV grid.
5
➢ RVPNL informed that they have established downstream network from Kankroli 400/220 kV substation and load of HZL is part of it.
Further, HZL shall have to pay charges for relinquishment of Connectivity from their network. In case, HZL intends to get disconnected
form STU network now, RVPN assets shall be unutilized and it will cause great loss to the utility. Therefore, RVPN asked HZL to
approach them or DISCOM on this matter.
➢ CTU informed that as per MOP order power generated from RE sources can be self-consumed or sold to any entity through bilateral
arrangement qualifies for waiver of ISTS charges.
➢ Further, it was also noted that there is no provision in the Electricity Act or in the 2009 Connectivity Regulations for construction of a
dedicated transmission line by a bulk consumer. The same has also been noted by the Hon’ble Commission in order dated 29.01.2020
in petitions filed by M/s BALCO & M/s Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) as Bulk Consumer.
➢ In the RoP of the above petition by RIL, CERC directed that the dedicated transmission system to be constructed is to be by RIL
itself/ any other transmission licensee, with the cost of construction of transmission line for connectivity to ISTS to be borne by RIL.
Further, the Commission said “We are not inclined to issue any general directions in this regard and such matters shall be decided
on case to case basis depending upon specific circumstances and facts of the case”.
➢ Accordingly, M/s HZL shall also have to approach CERC for decision on implementation modality of the dedicated line in instant
case.
➢ As part of the agenda, following transmission system was proposed for Connectivity to M/s HZL for 200 MW as Bulk Consumer in
Rajasamand distt., Rajasthan:
• HZL– Kankroli (PG) 220kV D/c line along with associated line bays at both end- Cost about 50 Cr
➢ CTU also stated that for 200 MW power transfer, there shall be constraints in 400/220kV Kankroli ICT loading under N-1 conditions,
therefore, an additional 400/220 kV ICT shall be required, for which space issues are already highlighted by POWERGRID.
➢ In view of above deliberations, CTU stated that as there is no provision of Dual Connectivity for same load as mentioned above,
therefore, as RVPNL has sanctioned load of 95 MW to HZL, following was proposed:
• HZL can apply for remaining quantum of 105 MW for Connectivity in ISTS. As current application of 200 MW quantum shall have
change of more than 40% qualifying as material change in quantum of power to be interchanged necessitating a fresh application
for 105 MW as per CERC connectivity regulation.
6
• For disconnection of this 95 MW from STU/DISCOM network, HZL may take up the matter with RVPNL and present connectivity
application can be discussed in the subsequent CMETS-NR meeting after final deliberations between RVPNL & HZL. HZL will
inform on such development at the earliest so that further necessary action regarding application can be taken.
• Accordingly, based on above, it was decided that HZL shall reverton their current application of 200 MW as bulk consumer in ISTS
to CTU
4. Proposal for grant of LTA to the application received from RE/Conventional Energy Sources
It was deliberated that following LTA application was received in the month of July’22. Details are as below:

It was informed that Stage-II Connectivity (1200003532, 100 MW) was granted to M/s Azure Power India Private Limited at Fatehgarh-
III PS through 400 kV S/c line on D/c tower. 1 No. 400 kV bay at Fatehgarh-III PS is to be implemented under ISTS. Applicant
confirmed the same.
Further, it was deliberated that now M/s Azure has applied for LTA of 100 MW on firm basis to CSPDCL: 33 MW (WR) & HPPC:
67MW (NR). The required power transfer of 100 MW from Fatehgarh-III PS is envisaged with the Transmission system associated
with SEZ in Rajasthan under 20 GW Phase-III scheme. The transmission system has been approved in 3rd NRPC(TP) meeting held
on 19/02/2021 & 5th NCT meeting held on 25/08/2021 & 02/09/2021. It was informed that based on bidders request, in a recent CEA
meeting held on 22/08/2022, timeline for Rajasthan Ph-III Tr. System is being reviewed with extension of 6 months (from 18 months
to 24 months) and the same is under review with MoP. In view of this, the tentative timeline for the above scheme may shift to Dec’24
subject to approval of MOP. Same shall be confirmed based on MOP approval as well as award of the system. Applicant noted the
same.

* with minimum capacity of 1940 MVA/ckt at nominal voltage; Upgradation of existing 400kV bay equipments each at Jodhpur (Surpura)(RVPN)
and Kankroli S/s (3150 A)
The above scheme has been put up for approval in NCT and its tentative commissioning schedule shall be Mar’2024, same shall be
confirmed based on award of the scheme.
It was also deliberated that, as the LTA has been applied on firm basis, and for further drawl of power by CSPDCL (33 MW) & HPPC
(67MW) discoms through STU network from ISTS, NOC from the concerned STU is required. CTU vide letter dated 22/08/2022 has
also requested to CSPDCL & HPPC to issue the NoC. In this regard, HPVNL vide their email dated 30/08/2022, has provided their
consent for issuance of NoC for subject LTA application and had informed that NoC shall be issued shortly. However, NoC from
CSPDCL is still awaited. Accordingly, applicant was requested to take up the matter of NoC with CSPDCL. It was stated that if NOC
of concerned STU is not available or the NoC is not effective as on Start Date of LTA, the billing for payment of transmission charges
shall be undertaken on the LTA grantee as per CERC Regulations, till such time NOC is made available and becomes effective. The
NoC with conditions would be considered effective only upon fulfillment of such conditions.
Accordingly, it was agreed to grant LTA to M/s Azure Power India Private Limited for 100 MW from Fatehgarh-III PS to CSPDCL (33

It was informed that Connectivity (1200003948, 150 MW) was agreed for grant to M/s Tidong Power Generation Private Limited
during 9th CMETS-NR meeting held on 28/07/2022 through 400 kV Jhangi -Wangtoo (Quad) D/c line as final arrangement (ISTS) for
evacuation of power whereas interim Connectivity is already granted for Tidong HEP by HPPTCL through LILO of one circuit of
Kashang – Bhaba 220 kV D/c (HPPTCL) line. It was also decided that establishment of 2x315 MVA 220/400 kV GIS Pooling Station
at Jhangi shall be taken up matching with the commissioning of Kashang-II & III HEP (Jun’26) and for further dispersal of power to
beneficiaries beyond Wangtoo S/s, an additional corridor shall be explored.
M/s Tidong had also informed that their project will be ready progressively from Mar’23 onwards. Though Connectivity system for
Tidong was agreed in 9th CMETS-NR meeting, however, as Shongtong HEP Connectivity/LTA system was to be taken up in 10th
CMETS-NR meeting and had implication on Tidong system utilizing same corridor, it was decided to discuss the same again in this
meeting. As informed by HPPCL in CEA meeting dated 12/07/22, Commissioning Schedule for Shongtong HEP (Nov’25) was ahead
of transmission requirement for Tidong HEP (Jul’26).
Based on the above generation schedules, for connectivity of Tidong HEP, 400 kV Jhangi PS - Shongtong Karchham HEP (Quad)
D/c line with bypassing arrangement of one circuit was proposed in 10th CMETS-NR meeting agenda.
9
Considering Shongtong & Tidong HEPs, results of System studies were also discussed in the meeting. It was mentioned that with
Shongtong Karchham HEP, loading of Nathpa Jhakri – Gumma – Panchkula D/c line (Triple snowbird) under N-1 contingency is
about 940MW in studies, which reduces to 745MW with additional corridor beyond Wangtoo i.e. Wangtoo (HPPTCL) - Panchkula
(PG) 400kV D/c line. It was also mentioned that POSOCO had earlier got SPS implemented on hydro generations in above complex
(about 3500 MW) due to machine oscillations. Subsequently additional transmission corridors (towards Kala Amb etc) have also
come up in that complex, however, SPS is retained. NRLDC opined that in peak hydro season, all hydro projects generate at 110%
level and Karcham Wangtoo installed Capacity is also revised (up) recently by CEA. Therefore, in order to avoid outage of large
chunk of hydro generation, N-1-1 condition is also complied w.r.t SPS implementation to maintain system reliability. Therefore,
considering huge quantum of hydro generation in above complex after additional generation of Shongtong & Tidong (600 MW), it
may be prudent to plan additional corridor beyond Wangtoo to maintain system reliability & security.
HVPNL stated that in the above study time frame, they have observed higher loading of 400/220 kV ICTs at Panipat (BBMB), however,
this issue shall be mitigated after commissioning of 400/220 kV Tikrikhurd Substation of DTL. Therefore, DTL may confirm schedule
for Tikrikhurd S/s and associated system. DTL telephonically informed that proposal in under approval at their Board level and after
approval it may be available by 2025.
HPPTCL also enquired M/s Tidong for their plan for transfer of power for duration from Mar’23 to Jun’26. HPPTCL has also granted
Intra state LTA to Tidong in this regard. It was suggested that M/s Tidong may explore STOA/MTOA route for the same. Meanwhile
CERC GNA regulation will also be implemented.
In the meeting, HPPCL was asked to confirm the revised start date of Connectivity & LTA for Shongtong HEP. HPPCL indicated
generation schedule of Shongtong HEP as Dec’25 in the meeting, however, desired to confirm again by 05/09/2022. They also re-
confirmed the commissioning schedule of Kashang-II & III HEP as June’26. It was deliberated that the transmission system (400kV
Jhangi-Wangtoo-Panchkula Corridor) is agreed however same shall be phased after their confirmation on the commissioning
schedule of Shongtong HEP, if required. Subsequently, HPPCL vide their email dated 08/09/22 confirmed the commissioning
schedule of Shongtong HEP as 31st July’2026. With this, Transmission requirement for Tidong HEP (01st Jul ’26) [based on Kashang-
II schedule] came ahead of Shongtong (31.07.26) which necessitated re-phasing of transmission system.
Considering above schedule of HEPs, system studies were reviewed. Results in this regard is enclosed at Exhibit-I. Based on the
studies, it also appeared that existing corridor beyond Wangtoo is adequate for only Tidong LTA (75 MW). Accordingly, necessary
phasing for transmission requirement was carried out for both the HEPs (Tidong & Shongtong) based on their respective schedules.
Therefore, 400/220 kV Jhangi PS and 400 kV Jhangi-Wangtoo D/c corridor is decided to be taken up in first phase with Tidong HEP,
10
whereas 400kV Wantgoo- Panchkula D/c line would be taken up in next phase with Shongtong HEP or other Hydro/Solar generation
in that complex.
In view of above, Transmission system for Connectivity and LTA for Tidong HEP, under Phase-1, is as below:
(1) Transmission system for Connectivity of Tidong HEP
(a) Transmission system for Connectivity (under ISTS)

➢ Establishment of 1x315 MVA (4x105 MVA 1-ph units) 220/400 kV GIS Pooling Station at Jhangi
Future Scope at Jhangi PS:
Space provision for:
• 5 nos. of 400kV line bays
• 6 nos. of 220 kV line bays for future projects
• 2 no. of 400/220 kV Transformer (1 phase units)
• 1 no. 420kV Bus Reactor along with bay (1 phase unit)
• 220kV Sectionalization bay: 1 set
• Bus Coupler: 1 no.
➢ 400kV Jhangi PS – Wangtoo (Quad) D/c line^

➢ 1x125 MVAR, 420kV Bus reactor at Jhangi PS (1-ph units along with one spare unit)
^Line capacity shall be 2500 MVA per circuit at nominal voltage
(b) Transmission system for Connectivity (under scope of Applicant)

➢ Tidong HEP generation switchyard-Jhangi PS 220 kV D/c line (along with associated 220 kV bays at both ends)
(2) Transmission system for LTA for Tidong HEP **
➢ 1x315 MVA (2nd) (3x105 MVA 1-ph units) 220/400 kV ICT at Jhangi Pooling Station (GIS)
**Connectivity Transmission system shall also be required for effecting above LTA
Further, LTA has been applied on firm basis for drawl of power by UP Discoms (PVVNL, PUVVNL, MVVNL, DVVNL, UPPCL). M/s
Tidong vide mail dated 07.09.22 also provided LTA quantum distribution among above DISCOMs (PVVNL, PUVVNL, MVVNL,
11
DVVNL). However, for above, NOC from the concerned STU is required. CTU vide letter dated 22/08/2022 had also requested
UPPTCL to issue the NoC, which is still awaited. Accordingly, STU was requested to provide NoC for above application for drawl of
power in their state. It was noted that in case, NOC of concerned STU is not available or the NoC is not effective as on Start Date of
LTA, the billing for payment of transmission charges shall be undertaken on the LTA grantee as per CERC Regulations, till such time
NOC is made available and becomes effective. The NoC with conditions would be considered effective only upon fulfillment of such
conditions.
Accordingly, it was agreed to grant LTA to M/s Tidong Power Generation Private Limited for 75 MW from Jhangi PS to UP Discoms
with above quantum (as per the indicated share) on firm basis from 01/07/2026 (Interim) to 30.10.2046.
6. Revision of Connectivity & LTA of HPPCL for Shongtong HEP (450 MW)
It was informed that Connectivity & LTA in ISTS was granted for Shongtong HEP on 16/12/13 & 18/12/2015 respectively at Wangtoo
S/s through 400 kV (Quad HTLS) D/c line. Further, evacuation arrangement of Shongtong Karcham (450MW) in Himachal Pradesh
for interim as well as final arrangement was also discussed during 1st NRPC (TP) meeting & separate meetings held on 24/01/2020
& 11/11/20 respectively through LILO of 400 kV Baspa-II-Karcham Wangtoo D/c line of M/s JSW at Shongtong Karcham as an interim
arrangement and it was decided that this line from the LILO would be extended to Wangtoo (HPPTCL) S/s for evacuation of power
with the upstream projects in that area.
However, above was agreed subject to the condition that in case there is an outage/ overloading observed on Baspa-II –Karcham
Wangtoo line, then one unit of Shongtong Karcham HEP (150 MW) will be backed down. It was decided that HPPCL shall apply for
connectivity to HPPTCL & LTA shall be revised.
During the CEA meeting held on 12/07/2022 Master Plan for the Hydro Projects and Kaza Solar Power Project in Himachal Pradesh
was reviewed. HPPCL informed that tentative commissioning schedule of Shongtong HEP generation is Nov’2025 (1 st Unit). It was
deliberated that when the transmission system for evacuation of power from Kaza Solar Park was planned, it was proposed that
power from Shongtong Karcham HEP may be evacuated through LILO of one circuit of the 400 kV Kaza–Wangtoo D/c Line at
Shongtong Karcham HEP. HPPCL informed that as Shongtong Karcham HEP is expected to be commissioned by November, 2025,
therefore, the implementation of the transmission system for evacuation of power from Shongtong Karcham HEP needs to be started
at the earliest, so that the same could be completed in matching timeframe.
12
In addition, during the 9th CMETS-NR meeting held on 28/07/2022, it was deliberated that in case the Kaza Solar Park is not
materialized in near future, this high-capacity line shall be taken up from Wangtoo S/s to Jhangi PS via Shongtong HEP for
implementation considering the progress of Shongtong & Tidong HEP. Subsequently, SJVNL vide their email dated 19/08/2022
informed that the land involved in the park is a forest land which needs to be diverted and this additional financial implication for forest
land diversion shall be huge and will make the Park unviable. SJVNL informed the revised commissioning schedule of Kaza Solar
Park as Mar’26 (Unit-1) to Dec’26 (unit-7) (Progressively) and highlighted that some delay is anticipated in land acquisition activities
of the project. Further, there is no St-II Connectivity/LTA application for Kaza Solar Park yet and commissioning schedule of Kaza
generation had also been revised repeatedly by SJVNL.
It was deliberated that in view of email of SJVN reg. Kaza Solar Park, upcoming Hydro projects (Shongtong & Tidong HEP) as well
as severe ROW issues in that terrain with ROW for only one corridor, high-capacity line(Quad conductor) may be taken up from
Wangtoo S/s to Jhangi PS via Shongtong HEP first and this corridor shall be extended to Kaza Solar Park, in next phase, when
commissioning schedule of Kaza project is firmed up along with land finalization & receipt of requisite applications.
In the agenda for 10th CMETS-NR meeting, for connectivity of Shongtong HEP, based on schedule of Shongtong (Nov’25) and
transmission requirement for Tidong (75 MW) (July’26), 400 kV (high capacity) D/c line from Wangtoo to Shongtong to Jhangi and
for LTA, Wangtoo-Panchkula 400kV D/c line was proposed.
Considering Shongtong & Tidong HEPs, results of System studies were also discussed in the meeting. In the meeting, it was
mentioned that with Shongtong Karchham HEP, loading of Nathpa Jhakri – Gumma – Panchkula D/c line (Triple snowbird) under N-
1 contingency is about 940MW in studies, which reduces to 745MW with additional corridor beyond Wangtoo i.e. Wangtoo (HPPTCL)
- Panchkula (PG) 400kV D/c line. It was also mentioned that POSOCO had earlier got SPS implemented on hydro generations in
above complex (about 3500 MW) due to machine oscillations. Subsequently additional transmission corridors (towards Kala Amb
etc) have also come up in that complex, however, SPS is retained. NRLDC opined that in peak hydro season, all hydro projects
generate at 110% level and Karcham Wangtoo installed Capacity is also revised (up) recently by CEA. Therefore, in order to avoid
outage of large chunk of hydro generation, N-1-1 condition is also complied w.r.t SPS implementation to maintain system reliability.
Therefore, considering huge quantum of hydro generation in above complex after additional generation of Shongtong & Tidong (600
MW), it may be prudent to plan additional corridor beyond Wangtoo to maintain system reliability & security.

In the meeting, HPPCL was asked to confirm the revised start date of Connectivity & LTA for Shongtong HEP. HPPCL indicated
generation schedule of Shongtong HEP as Dec’25 in the meeting, however, desired to confirm again by 05/09/2022. They also re-
confirmed the commissioning schedule of Kashang-II & III HEP as June’26. It was deliberated that the transmission system (400kV
Jhangi-Wangtoo-Panchkula D/c Corridor) is agreed however same shall be phased after their confirmation on the commissioning
schedule of Shongtong HEP, if required. Subsequently, HPPCL vide their email dated 08/09/22 confirmed the commissioning
schedule of Shongtong HEP as 31st July’2026. With this, Transmission requirement for Tidong HEP (01st Jul’26) [based on Kashang-
II schedule] came ahead of Shongtong (31.07.26) which necessitated re-phasing of transmission system.
Considering above schedule of HEPs, system studies were reviewed. Results in this regard is enclosed at Exhibit-II. Based on the
studies, as well as above deliberations by POSOCO, 400kV Wangtoo -Panchkula corridor is identified for Shongtong LTA (450 MW).
Further, necessary phasing for transmission requirement was carried out for both the HEPs (Tidong & Shongtong) based on their
respective schedules. Therefore, 400/220 kV Jhangi PS and 400 kV Jhangi-Wangtoo D/c corridor is decided to be taken up in first
phase with Tidong HEP, whereas 400kV Wantgoo- Panchkula D/c line would be taken up in next phase with Shongtong HEP or other
Hydro/Solar generation in that complex.
In view of above, Connectivity & LTA for Shongtong HEP is amended through following transmission system, under Phase-2
transmission system (Fig-1):
Transmission system for Connectivity (under ISTS)

➢ LILO of one circuit of Jhangi PS - Wangtoo (HPPTCL) 400 kV D/c (Quad) line$ at generation switchyard of Shongtong HEP

Holdings Private Limited to be connected at 765/400/220kV Bhadla-II S/s of POWERGRID each through 220kV S/c links. As per CERC
Connectivity Regulations/Detailed Procedure, Medium-term Open Access shall be granted if the resultant power flow can be accommodated in
the existing transmission system or the transmission system under execution expected to be commissioned within next 6 calendar months. In
view of the above, studies were carried out in Solar maximized scenario with high RE (Solar) generation in Rajasthan considering Part of Ph-II
system (Part-F and Part F1 comprising Bikaner-II & associated transmission system) which is scheduled to be commissioned by Dec’22 as well
as 400/220kV ICT (4th ) at Bhadla-II (Section-1) along with 220kV bay for RE injection. Power flow of 800 MW on Mundra-Mahendargarh bipole
in reverse direction (NR to WR) has been considered
System Studies results were depicted in the meeting. From the studies, it was observed that the requested MTOA with effect from 01/01/2023
can be accommodated only with the commissioning of the identified transmission system i.e. part of Transmission System for Solar Energy Zones
in Rajasthan (8.1GW) under Phase-II (Part-F and Part F1 in Rajasthan SEZ Phase-II) which is expected to be commissioned by Dec’22 . The
details of scheme are enclosed at Annexure-II.
NRLDC highlighted that almost 10,300MW RE generation has come up in ISTS in Western Rajasthan & lots of issues are being faced in recent
due to non-compliance by RE generators. Considering above new transmission system required for transfer of power for upcoming RE generation.
From the studies it was emerged that the loading on the lines observed from the studies for the transfer of 600 MW power from M/s ABC Solar
(India) Private Limited and M/s ACME Solar Holdings Private Limited from Bhadla-II PS, Rajasthan (Northern Region) to MPPMCL (200 MW),
Madhya Pradesh in WR, PED Puducherry (100 MW) in SR and MSEDCL (300 MW) Maharastra in WR is generally in order, however, Power flow
19
on Zerda - Bhinmal 400kV S/c line is slightly higher i.e. 790 MW under N-1 contingency of Zerda-Kankroli 400kV S/c line, which need to be
monitored for grant of any new MTOAs in future.
It was also stated that LTAs have been granted for power transfer in Bhadla & Fatehgarh Complexes on target region basis associated with
Rajasthan SEZ Phase-I system. The subject MTOA may be granted against the target region basis LTAs at Bhadla & Fatehgarh Complexes
associated with Rajasthan SEZ Phase-I system, subject to commissioning of transmission system mentioned at Annexure- II. The subject MTOA
would be liable for termination/downsizing, if the LTAs already granted with transmission System of Rajasthan SEZ Phase-I (8.9GW) are
operationalized during the period of MTOA.
Keeping above in view, it was agreed that following MTOA may be granted
➢ MTOA of 300 MW to M/s ABC Solar (India) Private Limited may be granted for a period from 01/01/2023 to 31/10/2023 from its solar power
project to be connected at Bhadla-II PS in NR to MPPMCL, Madhya Pradesh (200MW) in WR & PED Puducherry(100MW) in SR subject to
commissioning of the under construction transmission system mentioned in Annexure- II
➢ MTOA of 300 MW to M/s ACME Solar Holdings Private Limited may be granted for a period from 01/01/2023 to 30/06/2027 from its solar
power project to be connected at Bhadla-II PS in NR to Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL) in WR subject to
commissioning of the under-construction transmission system mentioned in Annexure- II
