Background On Consumer Connection Charges Revision
This CCC revision was carried out under the directive of KeTTHA and Suruhanjaya Tenaga, and
subsequently SESB engaged an Australian consultancy Oakley Greenwood for this exercise.
The CCC was developed in consultation with external stakeholders, in particular SHAREDA, M&E
consultants, and relevant Government departments & agencies.
Specifically, the new CCC seeks to address the stakeholders’ concerns on cost, transparency,
fairness, predictability and ease of calculation by using fixed rates.
After various sessions to refine the proposed revision, the Government has approved the new
CCC to be implemented effective on 1 April 2017.

Key principles used in developing the revised CCC
To achieve an economically efficient Consumer Connection Charges Policy, four (4) key
components have been identified as follows:-
2. Most efficient solution in the short- and long-terms - Customers would be charged
based on least-cost technical solution for their connection
• any upsizing decided on by SESB to optimise long-term development of the
network should be recovered in tariff and subsequent connection charges

Category 1
Connection at Nothing – customer pays for own MV and LV; customer billed a tariff that excludes
33kV & above recovery of MV and LV assets; option for bank guarantee to provide security around
(in-sequence) tariff recovery over bring forward period.
Fixed Charge for Customers with maximum demand 5kVA or more will be required to pay a fixed
33kV Costs charge for 33kV cost component due to the present inadequate tariff to recover
33kV costs.
11
Category 1 Consumer
For Category 1 consumer who is charged for dedicated assets, they would:
pay the full cost of the least-cost technical solution as part of the CCC and
be levied a network tariff that excludes the cost of the voltage levels that they
have funded up-front.
For Category 1 consumer who is deemed to have brought forward the construction of
33kV (or above) assets, SESB would charge the difference in the NPV of constructing
those assets now, versus the NPV of constructing those assets when originally planned.
The original timing would be based on SESB’s shared network (132kV/33kV etc)
development – with this based on either
- the specific year that those assets were expected to be built (if this is outlined
in the network development plan) or
- the midway point in the 5-year period in which those assets were likely to be
built (e.g. 1-5 years, 6-10 years; 11-15 years).
SESB reserves the right to seek a ‘bank guarantee’ from the connecting consumer for
the expected revenue forecast to be received from the connecting consumer over the
period which the asset is brought forward.

SCHEDULE 2 - ASSIGNED LOAD FOR TYPE OF PREMISES FOR CCC CHARGING
The application of the categories ‘Rural’, ‘Suburban’ and ‘Urban’ will be based on the location of the
development, the size of the premises (m2) and the type of development (such as high end or affordable).
5. Condominium
6. 3-Storey Shop/Office
Turnkey application for medium and low voltage installation - approval will be
based on SESB’s prevailing policy, with consideration of 3 criteria of timeline,
material availability and manpower. Projects that are approved to be undertaken
using turnkey arrangements:
SESB will require that the turnkey provider construct the scheme of supply
that represents the most efficient long-term solution – which may not
necessarily be the one that is the cheapest for the individual development;
However, SESB will also produce and cost a scheme of supply that represents
the lowest cost technical solution for the connecting consumer’s project, and
reimburse the costs of the efficient long-term solution that exceed the costs
of the lowest cost technical solution to the developer; and
SESB will not charge the developer the RM/kW rate for substations and
cables, as they will have been provided by the developer under the turnkey
arrangement.
21
Horizontal Directional Drilling
A rebate will be given for the section of cable route that requires HDD (for the
CCC component which has included open trenching for paved area)
22
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Scenario 1 : If HDD is identified (with wayleave approval) BEFORE issuance of CCC, then rebate will be
included in CCC.
23
Horizontal Directional Drilling
24
Substation Land And Building
The fixed rate for MV 11kV Distribution Substation (11kV/400V) in Schedule 1 does not
include substation building, and developer is required to provide the substation building
following SESB’s standard requirement.
25
Temporary Supply & Others
The temporary supply period is usually between six (6) months to one (1) year
where extension of time is considered based on case to case basis.For temporary
supply, the developer/consumer is required to pay full infrastructure costs upfront
based on cost estimate which includes the dismantling cost.
Other types of consumers required to pay full infrastructure costs based on cost
estimate are Co-generators and Independent Distributor Licensees.

Specific features regarding how we have addressed stakeholder concerns
• Fairness
Developer pays 100% of any assets put in place that serve only his load
This conforms to the user-pays principle, and avoids cross-subsidisation (SHAREDA
endorsed this approach)
Charge for other assets based on least cost technical solution ensures that the connecting
customer pays only their fair share of costs for assets that may also serve others
Use of an RM/metre charge for the cost of MV mains up to 1km from the network
Was based on data on the actual distance of connecting customers from the grid that
showed that most are within 1 km
Minimises cross-subsidies between connecting projects/customers
29
Specific features regarding how we have addressed stakeholder concerns
(continued)
• Fairness (continued)
Developer pays for the time value of an investment that SESB makes to accommodate a project
where that investment would have been made later under normal planning circumstances
Provides a price signal to the developer of the additional cost that SESB will incur to serve
that load
Avoids those costs being imposed on other customers or SESB
Maintains flexibility for developers to choose their locations based on their own
calculation of the value of that location. This compares favourably to the existing CCC
which is based on proportionate charging.
30
Specific features regarding how we have addressed stakeholder concerns
(continued)
• Predictability
The removal of HDD from the CCC and zone charges for 33kV or upstream works removes
uncertainty
Developers/connecting customers will be able to know the charges they are liable for
SESB will coordinate closely with M&E consultants on early discussion on site locations and
possible connection points
• Total cost
Technical review conducted as part of the CCC increased the transformer loading factors used in
calculating CCC, which resulted in:
Downward pressure on the level of the CCC
Improved capex efficiency, which will have flow-on effects in reducing overall costs
The use of a fixed rate for the diversified kW of the project as basis of the CCC charge means the
customer pays for their fair share of shared assets
Zone charges and development charges have been removed from the CCC
BUT 50% discount has also been removed
This avoids the need for a cross-subsidy and recognises that the tariff will not allow SESB to
recover its full costs

Methodology for deriving MV Fixed Rates
Real data from group applications received between 1 January 2014 and 30 April 2015 on:
• the electrical loads applied, assets installed, and weighted average sizes and costs of the types of
11kV/400V substations and 11kV mains used for the connections; and;
• the cost of other connection assets such poles, low voltage mains and service lines.
