available. In present petition, expenses of SLDC are being charged through UPPTCL ARR.

The petitioner has proposed a capital expenditure of Rs. 1800 cr. for FY2012-13. Details of major capital investment plan are submitted in subsequent section with the proposed funding mechanism. The petitioner while estimating expenses for current & ensuing year has taken into account the actual expenses incurred in previous years as per its audited /un audited balance sheet and up to date expenses for current year are incorporated to drive the expenses at a reasonable level. The petitioner has endeavoured to control the employee expenses in the current year to the approved level. While projecting the expenses for ensuing year, petitioner has adopted the same method to contain

inflationary pressure, but due to annual increment, instalment of arrears arising out of implementation of recommendations of 6th pay commission, it is bound to increase from the level of un-audited balance sheet of FY2010-11, which has been explained at the subsequent section. The petitioner while projecting A&G expenses for ensuing year has proposed a marginal increase in the A&G expenses which is only done to off-set the inflationary pressures. The petitioner has projected R&M expenses for current year taking into account actual trends, and for ensuing year R&M expenses has been estimated as per methodology adopted by Honble Commission in its last Tariff Order & guidelines provided in the Transmission Tariff Regulation. The petitioner is making all round efforts to optimize the R&M expenses despite steep rise in costs. The proactive preventive maintenance initiatives and capital expenditure are done in various improvement schemes which would definitely result in improvement in quality of supply and reduction in number of overloaded lines & substations. The Commission, vide order dated 03-08-2011 has conferred licence on UPPTCL for carrying out the business of transmission of electricity, as a transmission licensee and State Transmission Utility, on the transmission system built, maintained, operated and developed by UPPTCL.

Majority of the transmission lines & substations in UP are owned and operated by UPPTCL. However, there are other transmission lines & substations in UP (including a 500 kV HVDC line from Rihand to Dadri) that carry electricity from the central sector plants to the neighbouring states and these are owned and operated by the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL). In addition, some of the above transmission facilities are jointly owned by UPPTCL & PGCIL. The present transmission network of UPPTCL is capable to cater about 10000 MW of power. At the end of 11th five year plan (2011-2012) additional power to the tune of around 3000 MW were expected to become available from different sources i.e. new power generating stations in private as well as public sectors such as Anpara-C, Roja, Bajaj Hindustan, Harduaganj, and Parichha, extension. However, significant contribution of Bara, Karchana and Meja power stations is expected in ensuing year. UPPTCL has already taken up construction of 03 nos. of 765 kV and 09 nos. of 400 kV substations along with associated transmission lines under PPP for evacuation of power from upcoming thermal power stations like Bara (3x660MW), Karchana (2x660MW), and Meja (3x660MW). The details of existing 765 kV, 400 kV, 220 kV and 132 kV substations are given in Table 2-1 & for Transmission lines, the details are in Table 2-2.

ensuing year 2012-13 for the kind approval of the Honble Commission in accordance with the guidelines provided in Terms and Conditions for Determination of Transmission Tariff Regulations, 2006. As per Transmission Tariff regulation 2006, the ARR shall consist of following items: 1. Operation & Maintenance expenses Employee Expenses. Administrative & General Expenses. Repair & Maintenance Expenses. Loan capital. Working Capital.
2. Interest expenses.
3. Depreciation Expenses. 4. Other Expenses. 5. Return on equity. 6. Contingency Reserve. 7. Taxes on Income. 8. Any other relevant expenditure. Further regulation provide that the State Transmission Utility, which is also looking after the SLDC functions, shall file segregated costs for SLDC operations and any surplus / deficit in recovery of SLDC costs vis--vis SLDC fee and charges collected by the STU shall form part of its ARR. In this petition the Petitioner is filing expenses for FY 2012-13 for approval of the Commission. This section provides ARR for FY2012-13 in accordance with the Tariff regulations and methodology envisaged by the Commission in its last Tariff Order. Each component of ARR as mentioned above is dealt in detail in the following section. Further, it is to submit that UPPTCL is also looking after the functions of SLDC as such SLDC cost is embedded in UPPTCL cost. However, as prescribed in Tariff Regulation, segregated costs for SLDC has also been computed at the end. The petitioner has estimated ARR for ensuing year based on provisional un-audited account of FY2010-11 and expenses available till date. Further Tariff regulation provide that O&M expenses and other expense shall be escalated on the basis of prevailing rate of inflation from base figure & inflation shall be calculated on the basis of indexes notified by central government .

The inflation rate for above purpose shall be the weighted average of Wholesale Price Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40. Therefore it is imperative to first calculate an Escalation index based on guide lines provided in the regulation. Therefore Petitioner has calculated inflation index in following section:

3. Incremental O&M expenses for the ensuing financial year shall be 2.5% of capital addition during the current year. O&M charges for the ensuing financial year shall be sum of incremental O&M expenses so worked out and O&M charges of current year escalated on the basis of predetermined indices as indicated in regulation 4.2.1 above. However in last tariff order Commission was of the opinion that a suitable norm for allowance of O&M expenses could be adopted only after undertaking a thorough study of the O&M expenditure based on the past performances, and the cost drivers of the same, through a separate process. This study also has to be backed by audited information for the past which needs to be made available by the licensees. Only then the true picture if the trend in the O&M expenses may emerge. Till any such norm for O&M expenditure is determined, the Commission emphasised considering the individual elements of O&M expenditure. Further in addition to the O&M cost based on inflationary indices based escalation, regulation provides an additional O&M expenses @ 2.5% of the additions to GFA during the previous year. As such this portion of expenses has separately been calculated. As stated above, in the absence O&M norms petitioner has estimated individual components of O&M expenses based on methodology described in following section.

As mentioned above evolution of sub account of employee cost has been forecasted from base figure of FY2010-11 balance sheet and actual figure available till date. While projecting the expenses for ensuing year, petitioner has endeavoured to control the employee expenses but cost has increased marginally due to annual increase in pay & other allowances. Various sub account are estimated as follows: Basic salary: The petitioner would like to submit that the projected growth in basic salaries in FY2011-12 is due to mainly time bound increment, annual increase in pay. The combined impact of annual increment and time bound increment has been estimated 5% over the basic salary of FY2010-11. Therefore petitioner has estimated basic salaries for FY2011-12 to increase by 5% from FY2010-11 value and for FY2012-13 has been estimated to increase by inflation as provided in the regulation. Dearness Allowance (DA): In the Pay Scales effective from January 2006 the instalment of Dearness Allowance are due on each 1st January & 1st July of each calendar year. The dearness allowance is incremented every sixth month based on the bench mark set by the central government. For FY2010-11 petitioner has estimated dearness

allowance to be 58 %( 51% for 3 month,58% for 6month & 65% for next three month). For FY 2012-13 it has been linked to inflation. Other allowance: Other allowance for FY2011-12 has been forecasted in the ratio as actually incurred in FY2010-11 of basic salary & for FY2012-13 it has been escalated by inflation index. Likewise, Medical Reimbursement, LTA, Earn Leave Encashment, staff welfare expenses and other terminal benefit have been forecast to increase by inflation index per year from FY2009-10. Pension and Gratuity: Pension and Gratuity have been calculated at 16.7% and 2.38% (i.e., 19.08%) of Basic Salary and Dearness Allowance. Capitalisation of Expenses: Employee Expenses Capitalized has been taken 22% as per audited balance sheet of FY2007-08. As mentioned in clause: 5.1.3 an additional incremental expenses of 2.5% of GFA addition during the previous year has also been added.

It may be noted that licensee is capitalizing a portion of A&G cost .For current submission licensee has taken capitalization as 19%, approved by commission in its last tariff order. As a reflection of the continuing commitment of the Petitioner to keep costs under control, almost all A&G Expenses are forecast to increase by only inflation index per year across the board to only offset the effect of inflation. In addition to above regulatory expenses Rs 10 lacs application fees and Rs 500 per MU energy delivered to distribution licensees as license fees has been added in A&G expenses in FY2012-13 which is Rs 4.10. As mentioned in clause:5.1.3 an additional incremental expenses of 2.5% of GFA addition during the previous year has also been added 5.3. Gross Fixed Assets (GFA) Balances and Capital Formation Assumptions The assumptions used for projecting GFA and CWIP are as follows: The opening GFA and CWIP for FY 2011-12 have been taken as per the closing figures provisional annual accounts of FY 2010-11. 25% the opening CWIP and 25% of investment made during the year, expenses capitalised & interest capitalised (25% of total investment) has been assumed to get capitalised during the year.

6.1. Derivation of Tariff:The proposed transmission tariff is derived in Table 6-1 in accordance with the methodology provided in Transmission Tariff Regulation. It provides that in case of more than one longterm customers of the Transmission system (distribution licensee/long term open access customers), utilizing transmission system, the wheeling charges levieable on such customers shall be computed as per the following formula: Transmission /wheeling charges payable by the long term of customer of Transmission system for use of transmission system for a month = (Net ARR/12)*(CL/SCL) CL =Allotted Transmission Capacity in MW of particular long term customer. SCL=Sum of the Allotted Transmission Capacities (in MW) to all long-term customers. Presently DisComs have not been allotted transmission capacity as such Transmission tariff has been calculated on the basis of numbers of units wheeled by the transmission licensee for distribution licensees. This is based on the same approach adopted by the Commission in its last Tariff Order. Based on the above mentioned methodology, the transmission charges payable by all the licensees in the state is computed bellow: Table 6-1: Derivation of Transmission Tariff:

7 SLDC Charges: Table 7-1 provides a summary of estimated costs of running UPPTCL central load dispatch centre in Lucknow and four regional load dispatch centres at Panki, Sahupuri, Modipuram and Moradabad which are owned and operated by UPPTCL. Table 7-1: Break-up of SLDC Charges:
Details (Rs.Crore) FY2011-12 Estimated FY2012-13 Proposed
Employee Costs A&G Costs Repair & Maintenance Expense Subtotal Depreciation Interest & Finance Charges Less: Other Income Return on Equity Total SLDC ARR
All direct cash expenses in the above estimates, including Employee Costs, A&G and R&M, have been obtained from central load dispatch centre. However, capital related charges including Interest & Finance Charges, Depreciation and the Return on equity, could not be separated because SLDS is functioning as integral part of UP Transco, such the same have been approximated as follows: Depreciation Expense for Transco is 78% in FY2011-12 & 78% in FY2012-13 of the sum of above cash expenses. This may be calculated from Table 4-9 in the absence of precise information on the cost of the SLDC assets, these values have been applied to SLDC cash costs to account for SLDC Depreciation Expense. Interest and Finance charges & other Income have been similarly approximated. Pending a better delineation of capital charges, the above SLDC estimates are the best available. However, it may also be noted that the estimated SLDC costs comprise only about 1.9 % of total transmission costs. This means that any major error in the SLDC

cost estimate (which is quite likely) will be very small when compared to total transmission costs.
