available. In present petition, expenses of SLDC are being charged through UPPTCL ARR. However, in a separate section of SLDC, ARR has been added for approval of SLDC charges for other practical purposes as such charges are being levied to open access consumers. The layout of this petition among other things includes background, proposed expenditure plan for the ensuing year, Estimation of the Aggregate Revenue Requirement, explanatory notes where ever required and status of directive issued by the Honble Commission and other information as mandated in the regulation. The objective of the petitioner in this filing has been to contain the expenses to a reasonable level to offset inflationary pressure as prevailing in the market. For ensuing year petitioner has also taken a daunting task to control the expenses to the reasonable level but due to prevailing market condition some time it is not possible to limit expenses to current level due to uncontrollable factors. The petitioner in the current and ensuing year has continued with the execution with the all major capital investment project as also the must do projects for meeting the demand growth, creating adequate capacity for reducing the over loading of heavily loaded feeders and transformers. 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

2.1. Existing Transmission System - a preview:

The transmission system in UP is composed of 400 kV, 220 kV and 132 kV AC lines and substations. UPPTCL has also constructed one 765 kV AC single circuit line as well as one 765 kV substation at Unnao. This line and substations at both ends (765 kV sub station at Anpara end has been constructed by M/S Lanco) have been energized and loaded as well.

FY2013

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.

2.2. Interconnections and Northern Region Load Dispatch Centre (NRLDC)


UPPTCLs existing transmission system is interconnected to the electrical grids of its neighbouring States, namely, Uttaranchal, Haryana, Rajasthan and the central system of New Delhi. In addition, it maintains asynchronous ties (i.e. AC-DC-AC) with the electrical grids of Bihar in the east and Madhya Pradesh in the South. Until November 2002, there was only one State of UP and one transmission grid for the entire erstwhile UP. The ownership of lines and substations have changed since division of UP into two States, i.e. UP & Uttaranchal. The UPPCL power system is a part of the Northern Regional Grid of India. The Northern Grid is controlled from a unified regional load dispatch centre at Delhi. The Northern

Regional Load Dispatch Centre (NRLDC) is equipped with modern SCADA and Energy Management System Software. The SCADA system is fully functional as are key applications like State Load Estimation, Economic Load Dispatch and security assessment. The NRLDC has modified its economic load dispatch software to take into account the Availability Based Tariff (ABT). UPPTCL is upgrading its own unified load dispatch centre at its head office in Lucknow, and the four area control centres.

2.3. Availability of Lines


Availability of lines and other equipments of UPPTCL system is positively around 98% and with this system UPPTCL handles Transmission of energy from different generating units to the Distribution Licensees (Points) effectively.

2.4. Load Levels


The load centre power demands and their daily, monthly & yearly load levels and associated load power factors are important factors that influence the planning of the bulk transmission system. UPPTCL loads are generally scattered throughout the state with heavy demands in Varanasi, Allahabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra and Meerut areas. The annual peak load generally occurs in summer month. Figure 2-3 & Figure 2-4 typically show the yearly peak demand of previous years & monthly current year peak demand, respectively.

2.5. Bulk Transmission System Flows:


Bulk transmission system flow characteristics are dominated by the coal based thermal generating plants available in southeast of UP. These plants at Anpara, Obra, Rihand and Singrauli generate about 6300 MW out of which 4500 to 5000 MW generation flows to the western regions after meeting Varanasi regional demand. This power transfer level continues through Sultanpur-Allahabad, Lucknow-Kanpur, Moradabad-Agra interfaces since the available generation in each of the regions almost matches with its respective demand. In the east, power from the aforementioned plants flows towards north to supply Varanasi, Azamgarh and Gorakhpur load centres. A small amount of power is imported from Bihar through a connection at 132 kV level. Power supply to Uttaranchal in the North West is normally less than 500 MW due to the availability of hydroelectric generation in the state. In the west, more than 3000 MW power flows to Delhi and Rajasthan through 500 kV HVDC bi-pole link and 400 kV transmission network across the state. The existing bulk transmission system capacity with the current level of power transfer requirements is well equipped to handle the flow of energy.

4 Power Wheeling & Demand:


UPPTCL is performing the business of transmission of electricity received at UP periphery from various central generating stations, private power producers as well as those with in the state and dispatching this power to the Distribution Licensees as required, using Transmission system of UPPTCL. In purchasing/ wheeling of electricity from various out of state generating stations, hence periphery losses to the UP transmission system also come into picture. Therefore it is prudent to separately analyze losses internal as well as the periphery loss to the system so that petitioner should not be made accountable for losses external to the system.

4.1. Losses external to UPPTCL system:


The petitioner submits that while considering losses to meet the requirement of various distribution licensees, losses external to UPPTCL system, i.e. in the Northern Region PGCIL system need to be accounted for. The availability of power from various sources from out of the state gets reduced proportionately to these losses. UPPTCL has considered an average level of 2.11% periphery losses in its energy transactions for FY2012-13 . On the basis of Power requirement provided by DisComs a detailed energy balance is summarized for Distribution Licensees of the state using Transmission system of TransCo for dispatching the energy in Table 4-1: -

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:

5.1.1. Escalation Index/Inflation Rate


The Regulation provides that expenses of the base year shall be escalated at inflation/Escalation rate notified by central government for different years. The inflation rate for this purpose shall be weighted average of wholesale Price Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40. Therefore for the purpose of this ARR petitioner has used this methodology in arriving at Escalation Index/ Inflation Rate of 9.85 %. This escalation/Inflation index has been used in estimation of various components of ARR. Calculation of Escalation/ Inflation Index is given in the following table: Inflation Rate=0.6*. Inflation based on WPI + 0.4*Inflation based on CPI.

5.1.2. Operation & Maintenance Expenses


Operation & maintenance expenses comprise Employee costs, Administrative & General Expenses and Repair & Maintenance expenses. The regulation 4.2 of the Transmission Tariff Regulation issued by the Commission stipulates: 1. The O&M expenses for the base year shall be calculated on the basis of historical/audited costs and past trend during the preceding five years. However, any abnormal variation during the preceding five years shall be excluded. O & M expenses so calculated for the base year shall then be escalated on the basis of prevailing rates of inflation for the year as notified by the Central Government and shall be considered as a weighted average of Wholesale Price Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40. Base year, for these regulations means, the first year of tariff determination under these regulations. 2. Where such data for the preceding five years is not available the Commission may fix O&M expenses for the base year as certain percentage of the capital cost.

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.

5.1.3. O&M Expenses on Addition to Assets during the Year


In addition to the Employee, A&G cost and R&M expenses described in the succeeding section, Regulation provide for incremental O&M expenses on addition to assets during the year. Regulation stipulates that 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 4.3 (1). Accordingly based on above the incremental O&M has been worked out in following table .The same are allocated across the individual elements of the O&M on the basis of the contribution of each element in the gross O&M expenses excluding the incremental O&M charges.

The projection of employee costs involves a detailed examination of the various components of salary such as basic pay and dearness allowance for the various grades of employees. It would also involve an understanding of the extent of retirements as well as the manpower planned additions. Considering above, petitioner has estimated employee cost for FY201213 based on un-audited data of FY2010-11 and data available to date. Detail of each elements of employees cost has been provided in this section. The employee cost is computed in following table:

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.

5.2. Administration and General (A&G) Expenses:


These expenses are incurred by the petitioner for meeting the day-to-day expenses relating to the administration of its offices, insurance, communication, professional charges, audit fees, advertisement expenses, freight etc. All these expenses are directly affected by inflation. Therefore A&G expenses have been projected considering the impact of inflation and need for addition of more substation and offices. Forecasts of A&G expenses for Transco are summarised below in Tables 5-3, beginning with the figures from the provisional figures for FY2010-11.

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.

5.5. Depreciation Expenses:


The Commission in its Transmission Tariff Regulations has specified the methodology for the computation of depreciation. The regulation also specifies the rates to be used for the purpose of computation of the depreciation charged during the year. In the last Tariff Order the Commission has approved depreciation on the basis of weighted average depreciation rates as against specific depreciation rates for each class of asset. Further Transmission Tariff Regulations provide for charging depreciation on opening GFA and a pro-rata basis on assets capitalized during the year. Petitioner has used same methodology for computing depreciation in this ARR. In this petition Petitioner has taken weighted average depreciation rate of 4.50%, which has been derived as per unaudited balance sheet of FY2010-11 on opening GFA. The depreciation has been charged for the entire year on the opening GFA and pro-rata basis for the assets capitalized during the year. Opening GFA for FY2011-12 has been taken from provisional balance sheet of FY201011.Opening GFA for FY2011-12 and addition to fixed assets has already been dealt in previous section. Hence based on the same and using above specified weight average depreciation rate of 4.5% ,the petitioner has calculated depreciation for FY2011-12 & FY 2012-13 in following table:

5.8. Reasonable return/ Return on Equity:


Under provisions of the Regulation licensees are allowed a return of @ 14% on equity base, For equity base calculation debt equity ratio shall be 70:30.Where equity involves is more than 30%, the amount of equity for the purpose of tariff shall be limited to 30%.Equity amount more than 30% shall be considered as loan. In case of actual equity employed is less than 30%, actual debt and equity shall be considered for determination of tariff. In this petition return on equity has been computed as per methodology adopted by Honble Commission in the last Tariff Order. In view of the huge gap in the recovery of cost of supply at the DisComs level, Petitioner is of the view that return on equity would only result in accumulation of receivables. As such Petitioner proposes to charge return on equity only @ 2% for the financial year FY2012-13. ROE is being calculated on the equity inflow from GOUP up to FY2012-13 and normative equity portion in capitalised assets during the year. Computation is provided in following table:

In last year Tariff petition Petitioner had projected Rs. 47.58 Cr. as debts but Honble in its Tariff Order rejected this element of ARR with the view that Commission failed to understand the reason for bad debt and same has been rejected. As such Petitioner has not estimated this element of expenses in this petition.

5.10. Service tax:


Para 4.9 of UPERC Transmission Regulations provide Any cess or duty or royalty or tax imposed by the State Government shall be allowed as pass through to be recovered from the distribution licensees / long term open access consumers in proportion of their allotted capacity or quantity of energy delivered, as the case may be. Service tax liability is imposed on the service provider which would be UPPTCL in this case. Service tax would be chargeable on actual energy wheeled during a financial year and at the rates as notified & amended by the Govt from time to time. The Petitioner seeks allowance of such statutory liability on the service provider UPPTCL as pass through in tariff. Also such liability may be imposed on UPPCTL retrospectively like it was done in the case of PGCIL. In such an event the Petitioner would approach the Commission for allowance of such liability in its ARR accordingly.

6 Proposed Transmission Tariff:

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:
Details UPPTCL ARR (Rs.Cr.) Total Energy Delivered/To be delivered (MU) Transmission Tariff (Rs./kWh) FY 2010-11 894 61814 0.145 FY 2011-12 1142 70070 0.163 FY 2012-13 1299 79043 0.164

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

7.89 0.68 0.15 8.72 6.77 6.35 (0.58) 1.08 22.34

8.92 0.75 0.20 9.86 7.73 7.27 (0.64) 1.21 25.43

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.
