Due to this reason the licensee has proposed to update its Sales Projection based on the actual sales available and actual supply hrs for the period FY 2007-08 to FY 2008-09. The Actual Sales during the year 2009-10 up to Sept 09 is now available and therefore licensee feels to revise its sale estimated as approved in tariff order FY09-10. The revised estimate is indicated in table below:- M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 8

After analysis of the data in the above fashion, appropriate/reasonable growth rates were chosen for future sales forecasts from among the past CAGRs of the Category/Sub-category. The same approach was applied while forecasting connected load and number of consumers in each category/sub-category. 1.5 The forecast also considers the impact of schemes/plans of licensee such as the RGGVY scheme (Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikiran Yojana), the complete meterization of urban domestic consumers in the near future and targeted addition of potential consumers in the domestic and Non-domestic categories. The projection of each tariff category and the relevant assumptions has been discussed in the following paras. M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 9

The consumption of the BPL consumers is calculated using the current Load factor observed in consumers in the 0-30 units Rural General sub-category (0.08) and the load estimated as mentioned before. The consumption of the non- BPL consumers is calculated using the current load factor observed in rural general domestic consumers (0.22) and the load estimated as mentioned before. 1.11 In addition to the rate of growth mentioned before, we also include the effect of the discom s efforts to include all potential consumers in the urban areas into its billing net over the next 4 years. The potential consumers in the urban areas serviced by the Discom are estimated using data from the 2001 census1. Assuming a 1.76 % p.a 2 increase in households in 2009 as compared to 2001, we get the following figures for the potential consumers present in the urban areas served by the discom.

1.12 Assuming a 1.76 % per annum 3 in the no. of households, It is seen that without additional efforts, a gap of 316,456 consumers exists between the projected consumer base and the potential consumer base in FY13. In order to cover the entire potential urban consumer base in the next 4 years, it is assumed that an addition of 79,114 households per year will be made to the consumer base. The load/consumer and units consumed/consumer were taken in line with the same as present in the base projections of the urban consumers till FY13. 1.13 The sales forecast also considers the meterization of all urban unmetered consumers in the general category over the next year. 1.14 After incorporating the growth due to the RGGVY scheme and the drive to include all urban potential consumers in the billing net over the next 4 years into the base projections, the following projections for LV-1 have been arrived at: Table 10: Domestic Consumer Projection Area Sub CONSUMERS (No.) Category FY09-10 FY10-11 FY11-12 FY12-13 Urban General 746084 753545 761080 768691 Urban Potential 82644 165289 247933 330578 Urban Total-Gen 828728 918834 1009014 1099269 Urban SC/ST BPL 29611 29611 29611 29611 Urban Temporary 5272 5811 6407 7063 Urban Total 863611 954256 1045031 1135943 Rural General 940837 1059960 1199978 1364554 Rural RGGY 287762 744592 1201423 1972675 Rural Total-Gen 1228599 1804553 2401401 3337229 Rural SC/ST BPL 567936 567936 567936 567936 Rural Temporary 1329 1466 1616 1781 Rural Total 1797864 2373954 2970953 3906946 Total General 2057327 2723387 3410415 4436498 Total SC/ST BPL 597547 597547 597547 597547 Total Temporary 6601 7277 8022 8844 Total Total 2661475 3328211 4015984 5042888 3 http://www.indiastat.com/table/demographics/7/growth/116/208227/data.aspx based on Population Projection 1996 constituted by Planning Commision.

A4: ESTIMATION OF COSTS For existing stations 4.1 The Fixed Costs of MP Genco s stations for FY 10 to FY 13 have been kept at the same level as that of FY 09 and as approved by the Commission in its Multi Year Tariff Order dated 7th March 2006 and Order dated 18th March 2008. Central Sector Stations for which capacity allocation percentage to each individual Discom has been defined by GoMP in its 12 th June 2009 notification, Fixed Costs as approved by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission Orders for each individual station for FY 09 have been adopted for FY 10 to FY 13 also. The reason for adopting FY 09 Fixed Costs of MP Genco s Stations and Central Generating Stations, for FY 10 and beyond tariff orders is not available at the time of this filing. 4.2 Variable costs (including FPA) for MPGenco & Central Generating Stations have been adopted as per the September 2009 bill and have been annually escalated at the rate specified by the CERC in its notification dated 27 th March 2009. 4.3 For the new stations which have become available to state during the current year which are of the Central & State Sector Stations, the following methodology has been adopted: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) For Kahalgoan Phase II, fixed and variable cost as approved by CERC till FY 09 in its Provisional Tariff Order dated 18th Dec 2007 has been adopted. Also the variable cost has been escalated at the rate of 6.35% as per the 27 th Mar 2009 notification on escalation rates approved by CERC. For Sipat-I and Sipat II, Fixed and Variable Cost as indicated in the Retail Supply Tariff Order dated 29 th July 2009 has been adopted. Also, the variable cost has been escalated at the rate of 6.35% as per the 27 th Mar 2009 notification on escalation rates approved by CERC. For NTPC Barh Phase I single part tariff as provided in the Power Purchase Agreement has been adopted for FY 10 to 13. For DVC Mejia single part provisional tariff as approved by the CERC in its order dated 22nd Aug 2008 has been adopted. For DVC Chandrapur, single part tariff of DVC Mejia has been adopted since there were no means to assume this cost for this particular station. For MP Genco rate for Birisinghpur Extension and Amarkantak Phase III, fixed and variable cost is taken as indicated in the Retail Supply Tariff Order dated 29 th July 2009. Also, the variable cost has been escalated at the rate of 6.35% as per the 27 th March 2009 notification on escalation rates approved by CERC M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 55

4.4 The following table provides a summary of fixed and variable costs of each of the stations that have been considered for determining the power purchase cost with the following assumptions: (a) (b) (c) East, West and Central Discoms share of fixed cost has been considered for its ARR purpose. Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) has been projected in the same manner as that of variable cost per unit and is included in the variable component of the generation cost. The fixed and the variable costs of the new stations have been pooled together to get an average bulk supply rate 13 at which MP Tradeco will supply power to each individual Discom. For Future capacities 4.5 For all the future capacities which are proposed to be commissioned in future the rates as per the PPAs have been considered. This has been explained in the note in subsequent sections.

5.2 The EAST DISCOM is planning for minimizing the energy supply to the high loss area by way of differential load shedding. This will result either in saving in the INPUT Energy and reduce Power purchase or increase in revenue by way of supplying additional energy to the area having minimum loss. This arrangement will be made only after looking to the ground reality. This planning will be proposed as under:- Table 91: Differential load shedding Sl.No. Area Loss 25%-40% Losses Above 40% and below 60% Losses 60% and Above 1 CHQ Additional Additional 4 Hrs. 2 Hrs. 2 DHQ As per Schedule Additional 2 Hrs.

Section 225 of the said Regulation provides the methods of estimation of power purchase cost. In addition, as part of the formats issued along with the above mentioned Tariff Regulations, the Distribution Licensees are to provide information related to power availability, procurement and costs from various concerned generating stations and other sources. 6.2 It is submitted that licensee has to meet the power demand of the consumers, as per the relevant provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003. Therefore, quantum of power purchase may not be restricted on the basis of normative loss levels. Under any given operating conditions of the power supply system, the quanta of energy and power demand are more or less uncontrollable variables and the loss level is an indeterminate quantity. While, normative loss level and hence the normative quantum of power purchase are quantities which are based on a hypothetical system model with frozen conditions of these variables e.g. input, output, loss. The power and energy demand varies from instant to instant and it is not possible to predict the loss level for any particular instant. For meeting the peak system demand & associated losses, scheduling of additional generation shall be required, and therefore, for tariff determination purpose fixed cost of all the scheduled generators are to be considered. For more clarity, monthly load duration curve may be referred while imposing merit order dispatch. The principle of deciding a normative quantum of power based on a normative loss level is neither logical nor reasonable for the licensee and ultimately for the consumers. The principle of normative power requirement is impossible to be followed in practice, and, it can only result in indiscriminate load shedding/curtailment. 6.3 According to National tariff policy vide clause 8.2.1 All power purchase costs need to be considered legitimate unless it is established that the merit order principle has been violated or power has been purchased at unreasonable rates. It means that, the Regulator may exercise checks from the point of view of prudent cost of power (e.g. based on merit order principle). If the power purchase meets the requirement of prudence, then, all the power purchase cost may be treated as prudent cost. For the purpose of tariff determination, the average power purchase cost per unit based on the prudent cost may be considered. That means, cost based on average power purchase cost per unit on the quantum of power based on normative loss will be passed through to the consumer and any cost in excess of that shall be borne by the licensee. In any case, the full fixed cost element of the power purchase cost should be passed through to the consumer, as a legitimate cost. This methodology shall maintain proper balance between the interests of the consumers and the licensee, as it is based on overall averaging method, so that all the impacts over an annual cycle are accounted for, distributed and shared equitably.

Prevailing Arrangement for Power Procurement in state of Madhya Pradesh 6.4 The Government of Madhya Pradesh, in exercise of its powers under Madhya Pradesh Vidyut Sudhar Adhiniyam, 2000 and Electricity Act, 2003, effected the transfer14 and vesting of the functions, properties, interests, rights and obligations of MPSEB relating to the Bulk Purchase and Bulk Supply of Electricity in the State Government and simultaneously re-transferred and revested the same to MP Power Trading Company ('Tradeco' or 'MP Tradeco'). The Transfer Scheme Rules vested the following key functions, rights and responsibilities of the Board to MP Tradeco: 6.5 The bulk purchase and bulk supply functions, namely, purchase of electricity in bulk from the Generating Companies and supply of electricity in bulk to the Discoms in MP. 6.6 The Power Purchase Agreement or arrangement existing between the Board and the generating companies including inter-state Joint Venture Projects and the Bulk Supply Agreements with the electricity distribution companies in the State of Madhya Pradesh and all arrangements in relation to trading of electricity, inter-state and intra-state. 6.7 All short, medium and long term Bulk Power Purchase Agreements or Arrangements between the Board and the power traders existing as on the effective date. 6.8 The Bulk Power Transmission Agreement existing between the Board and Power Grid Corporation of India as well as other Transmission licensees for transmission and wheeling of power inter-state or intra-state. 6.9 Any future agreements that were being contemplated/ processed by the Board in respect of any of the above and any activities in regard to electricity trading in the State. 6.10 Thus, MP Tradeco has been entrusted with the responsibility of procurement of power in bulk and supplying to the three Discoms. In accordance with this arrangement related to power procurement, the Distribution Licensee has entered into bulk supply arrangement/agreement with MP Tradeco to meets its supply obligations. In addition to above, the Government of Madhya Pradesh through its Gazette Notification Order No. 6578-F.RS-4-XIII-2001 dated 17th October 2006 allocated the installed capacity available as on September 2006 to all the three Discoms. The Allocation percentage from each of the generating station to the three Discoms was further revised by GoMP through its Gazette Notification Order No. 1929/F.RS/4/XIII/2001 dated 14th March 2007 and then again revised on 19th March 2008 and further revised on 16th June 2009 through its Gazette Notification Order No. 3513-F-3-24-2009-XIII since the revenue requirement of each Discom was different and also to keep the retail tariff uniform in the State without sacrificing the incentive for loss reduction & efficiency gains by the Discoms. 14 The transfer was effected through "M.P. Electricity Reforms Transfer Scheme Rules 2006" (Transfer Scheme Rules) vide Notification No.3474 /FRS/17/XIII/2002 dated 3rd June 2006 (Transfer Scheme Rules). M.P.

A14: OTHER ITEMS Fuel Surcharge Adjustment 14.1 At present there is no mechanism for automatic pass-through of the enhanced costs for the Discomdue to unforseen.circumstances beyond the control of Discom. Thus even though generating and transmission utilities pass their uncontrollable cost, the Discom is not able to pass on the same to its consumers. This is especially the power purchase cost which represents the most substantial part of Distribution Licensee's revenue requirement. Any material changes in hydro-thermal mix, generation source mix; fuel cost etc has a significant impact on the power purchase cost for the Distribution Licensee. Given the extent of the costs involved, it is crucial that a mechanism is formulated whereby the distribution Licensee is able to regularly recover allowable changes in the power purchase cost, on account of variation in fuel costs, from consumers. Such a mechanism would enable the Distribution Licensee to manage its functions in a more effective manner. This is also in line with the provisions of Clause 5.3 (h) (4) of the National Tariff Policy which reads that "Uncontrollable costs should be recovered speedily to ensure that future consumers are not burdened with past costs. Uncontrollable costs would include (but not limited to) fuel costs, costs on account of inflation, taxes and cess, variations in power purchase unit costs including on account of hydro-thermal mix in case of adverse natural events ". 14.2 In line with the above provision, the Distribution Licensee submits the following formula for computation of Fuel Surcharge Adjustment: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) FSA (Rs crores) = P + I + A, Where FSA = Fuel Surcharge Adjustment P = Change in cost of generation and power purchase due to variation in the landed fuel cost and due to approved short term power purchase I = Interest on working capital on account of change in fuel cost on account of factor 'P' above A = Adjustment factor for over-recovery / under-recovery which shall be computed in accordance with the formula given below: AJ-2 (Rs. Crores) = XJ-4 + YJ-2 Where: (g) XJ-4 : Incremental cost in month "J-4" (h) YJ-2 : Incremental cost in month "J-4" actually recovered in month "J-2" (i) (j) The calculation for FSA to be charged for the month "J" shall be as follows: FSAJ (Rs crores) = PJ-2 + I J-2 + AJ-2 M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 88

14.3 The FSA would be applicable from the month following the month in which the additional costs are calculated. (This means that the FSA for month of June would be recovered in August.) 14.4 The Licensee proposes that the FSA shall be recoverable from both metered as well as unmetered consumer categories as indicated in the formula below: 14.5 FSA Rs./kWh = (FSA / (Metered sales + Unmetered consumption estimates)) * 10 14.6 The consumption for unmetered category consumers would be estimated based on methodology and norms adopted for the same for developing sales forecast for such categories. 14.7 The need for adjustment factor 'A' as mentioned in the above formula would be clear with help of an example: 14.8 Consider that a Distribution Licensee has incurred a higher power purchase cost, of say Rs 10 Crores for month of April on account of higher fuel prices. The licensee would have been served with corresponding power purchase bill by supplier/generator in month of May and it is assumed that the entire cost is allowed by the Commission to be recovered through FSA. If the anticipated sale during the month of June is 500MU, then the FSA per unit to be recovered would be 20 paise/kwh. Now if the actual sale for June is 450MU, then there would be an under-recovery to the extent of Rs 1 Crores. Conversely, if the actual sale for June is 550MU, then there would be an over-recovery of Rs 1 Crores. Therefore, there is a need for the FSA formula to provide for regular adjustments on account of such over recovery/under recovery. M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 89

Expensive Power Charges 14.9 All Power purchases are undertaken by the licensee through the MP Tradeco. The MP Tradeco arranges the power for three Distribution co s of the state viz, East, Central and West Discom. Also, apart from entering into contract for purchase of power from various sources, MP Tradeco has also entered into arrangement of banking of power under which the power is sold in kind and is returned in kind at a later date or vice-versa. The licensee generally avoids the load shedding of HT consumers and LT consumers of Commissionary and Distt. HQ. Therefore, in case of unforeseen shortage of power, the licensee is compelled to manage the power supply to these categories of consumers by arranging expensive power. Moreover, vide para 40.1(j) of the instant MYT regulation, the Hon ble Commission has provided that it may consider to prescribe additional charges on account of procurement of costly power. In effect, through this regulation, the H ble Commission has contemplated a distinction between the cost of long-term power and short-term power(i.e. expensive power) from the point of view of tariff determination. Therefore, licensee proposes that the additional cost of expensive power is allowed to be recovered from HT consumer and LT consumer of Commissionary/Distt. HQ. Since the LT loss level of different area is different, therefore it will be appropriate to recover the cost of expensive power from LT consumers of Distt. H.Q. in proportion to their requirement in the following manner. Formula:- Net energy requirement R1 MU with cost C1 Availability from identified sources R2 MU with cost C2 Difference (R2-R1) MU Partially/fully power arrange from short term sources (For supplying power to HT consumer and LT consumer of CHQ and DHQ) R3 MU with cost C3 i.e. (R3/(H1+L1) percentage of total requirement) Power requirement to HT Consumer H1 (Incorporating 1.5% distribution loss, 4.9% Transmission lossess, and 2% external losses) Power requirement to LT Consumer of CHQ/DHQ L1 (Incorporating actual distribution loss of the area, 4.9% Transmission lossess, and 2% external losses) Expensive power arranged to HT consumer H1 X (R3/(H1+L1)%) Expensive power arranged to LT consumer of CHQ/DHQ L1 X (R3/(H1+L1)%) Difference of Expensive Power Cost per unit (D1) = (C3/R3) (C1/R1) Qty in MU Total Cost Expensive power charges HT Consumer H1X(R3/(H1+L1)%) H1X(R3/(H1+L1)%)X D1 {H1X(R3/(H1+L1)%)XD1}/HT Sale M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 90

LT Consumer L1X(R3/(H1+L1)%) L1X(R3/(H1+L1)%)X D1 {L1X(R3/(H1+L1)%)XD1}/HT Sale Example Consider that the commission has allowed the requirement of 275 MU with an average power purchase cost @ 2.00 Rs. Per unit for the month of April. In case of shortage in availability, Distribution Licensee has arranged expensive power purchase of 20 MU from short term sources at average rate Rs. 6.24 Per unit to meet out the requirement of HT consumer and LT consumer of CHQ and DHQ. The licensee would have been served with corresponding power purchase bill by supplier/generator in month of May and it is assumed that the entire cost is allowed by the Commission to be recovered through EPC. If the sale during the month of April for HT consumer was 100 MU and LT consumer of CHQ and DHQ was 45 MU, then the EPC per unit to be recovered would be calculated as under:- Power requirement for HT consumer [{100/(1-1.5%)}/(1-4.9%)]/(1-2%) = 108.55 MU Power requirement for LT consumer for DHQ/CHQ say 35.5% Distribution loss [{45/(1-35.5%)}/(1-4.9%)]/(1-2%) = 75 MU Total power requirement for HT and LT consumer of DHQ/CHQ = 108.55+75=183.55 MU Percentage of Expensive power purchase in the month (20/183.55) % =11% Expensive power arrange to HT consumer = 108.55X11% = 11.94 MU Expensive power arrange to LT consumer of DHQ/CHQ= 75X11% = 8.06 MU Additional cost towards expensive power to HT consumers = 11.94X (6.24-2.00) =5.06 crores Per unit Expensive charges to be recovered from HT consumer in the monthly bill of June = 5.06/100= Rs. 0.51 per unit Additional cost towards expensive power to LT consumers of CHQ/DHQ=8.06X(6.24-2.00) =3.42 crores Per unit Expensive charges to be recovered from LT consumer of CHQ/DHQ in the monthly bill of June = 3.42/45 = Rs. 0.76 per unit M.P.

Depreciation 14.10 Clause 2.16 of the Regulation provides that "For the purpose of tariff, depreciation shall be computed in the following manner: (a) The asset base for the purpose of depreciation shall be the historical cost of the assets, i.e. actual expenses limited to approved /accepted capital cost: provided that the consumer contribution or capital subsidy/ grant etc shall be treated as per the accounting rules notified and in force from time to time. (c) Depreciation rates for determination of allowable depreciation shall be as notified by the CERC from time to time To enable the Commission to validate the Licensee's depreciation claims, year wise and category wise (as defined by CERC) additions to assets must be provided by the licensee. " Further, Clause 2.19 provides that "Depreciation shall be chargeable from the first year of operation. In case of operation of the asset for part of the year, depreciation shall be charged on pro-rata basis. " Therefore, three key issues need to be addressed: (a) (b) (c) Issue 1 - The asset base on which depreciation need to be allowed and whether assets created by consumer contribution or capital subsidy/ grant etc. are eligible for depreciation; Issue 2 - The rate of depreciation to be charged; and Issue 3 - When to start charging depreciation and whether any change in accounting policy is required to be undertaken. On Issue 2 about depreciation rates to be adopted, the licensee submits that the National Tariff Policy under Section 5.3(c) states that "The Central Commission may notify the rates of depreciation in respect of generation and transmission assets. The depreciation rates so notified would also be applicable for distribution with appropriate modification as may be evolved by the Forum of Regulators. The rates of depreciation so notified would be applicable for the purpose of tariffs as well as accounting. There should be no need for any advance against depreciation." M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 92

From the above it is seen that the CERC and Forum of Regulators (FOR) is required to evolve a set of depreciation rates in a manner that there should be no need for any advance against depreciation and the cash requirement (for debt servicing) of licensees in a regulated regime is addressed through depreciation. The present CERC notified rates are nearly half of the rates being adopted for accounting purpose and is inadequate to meet the loan repayment obligations of the licensee. Further, if the licensee adopts the present CERC notified rates for the purpose of tariffs, it will have to change the rates to be used for accounting also as it is currently following the rates notified under S.O.265 (E) dated 27th March, 1994 by the Central Government. In near future, when CERC and FOR comes up with the revised rates, the licensee will again have to undertake a change in its accounts as well as ARR/ Tariff filings. Therefore, in order to meet the cash requirements and also to avoid multiple changes in accounting policies, it is submitted that till the time CERC/ FOR comes up with revised depreciation rates for distribution business, the licensee may be allowed to continue the use of the MoP notified rates for both accounting and tariff purpose. On Issue 3, the licensee submits that adopting the Regulation would require a change in accounting policy. As per the AS - 6 "Depreciation Accounting" issued by the ICAI, para 15 of the explanation " A change from one method of providing depreciation to another is made only if the adoption of the new method is required by statute or for compliance with an accounting standard or if it is considered that the change would result in a more appropriate preparation or presentation of the financial statements of the enterprise. When such a change in the method of depreciation is made, depreciation is recalculated in accordance with the new method from the date of the asset coming into use. The deficiency or surplus arising from retrospective recomputation of depreciation in accordance with the new method is adjusted in the accounts in the year in which the method of depreciation is changed.." Therefore, in line with the reasoning provided on Issue 2, and the complexities involved in compliance with the mandatory Accounting standard - 6 on Depreciation Accounting it may be desirable to wait for the CERC and FOR determined rates and process for charging depreciation to emerge before changing the policy for both accounting and tariff purpose. The other issue of when to charge depreciation: As mentioned above the company is following the methodology of depreciation as prescribed under ESAAR, 1985 as per which the depreciation is charged on the opening balance of the Gross fixed Asset and not on the assets capitalised during the financial year as required under the Companies Act, 1956 or as stated in the Regulations. However, the Company is in the process of complying with the methodology prescribed under the Regulation to charge proportionate depreciation for the Assets capitalised during the financial year.keeping these issues in view, the licensee has continued with the methodology prescribed in ESAAR, 1985 while assessing the depreciation requirement and seeks the indulgence of the Hon'ble Commission in this regard till CERC and FOR comes up with the revised depreciation rates and methodology.

A15: TARIFF PROPOSAL 15.1 The Hon ble Commission has issued the tariff order for 2006-07 on 31 st March 2006, tariff order for 2007-08 on 30 th March 07, tariff order for 2008-09 on 29 th March 2008 and tariff order for FY 2009-10 on 29 th July 2009. The Gist of the Tariff Hike for East Discom is as under:- SN Particular 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 1 Approved Sales (MU) 6017 6598 7370 6915 2 Revenue at Existing Tariff (Rs. In Crores) 2107.82 2413.38 2706.1 2568.37 3 Revenue at Revised Tariff (Rs. In Crores) 2179.87 2419.35 2779.53 2649.21 4 Additional Revenue on account of revision of Tariff 72.05 5.97 73.43 80.84 (Rs. In Crores) 5 % Tariff Hike (overall basis) 3.42% 0.25% 2.71% 3.16% 6 Average Revised per unit Tariff (Rs.) ( Revenue at revised tariff/approved Sale) 3.62 3.67 3.77 3.83 15.2 The annualized variation in the wholesale price index of India in the year 2005-06 was 4.4%, in the year 2006-07 was 5.4%, in the year 2007-08 was 4.7%, in the year 2008-09 was 5.69% and for the year 2009-10 till September it has been fluctuating between 4.5% to 6.5%. It is quite apparent from the figures indicated that, the Tariff hikes during these years were not at all commensurate with the rise in wholesale price index, which has severely affected the financial health of the Discom. The Discom has started finding it extremely hard to sustain the multiple onslaughts of intrinsic rise in expenditure due to inflationary pressures, relentless and consistent rise in power and energy demands, rather unrealistic normative constraints imposed by the Regulator, rapidly falling credit rating in the market, obligations to be met under the policy objectives of the State and Central governments. Therefore, it has now become expedient for the licensee to seek an appropriate hike in the tariff - i.e., to the level as proposed and detailed in the instant petition. It would just not be possible for the Discom either to maintain its operational viability or, to operate efficiently, at the least, without the enhancement in the retail tariff sought through this petition. 15.3 In view of the facts outlined, the East Discom has proposed a minimal tariff hike which translates in monetary terms to Rs. 603.31 crore. The ARR for the year 2010-11 is Rs.5003.81Crores and revenue at existing Tariff works out to Rs. 2780.05 crores resulting into the Gap of Rs. 2223.75 Crore It is to mention here that this Gap includes only 1/3 rd of the True-up Cost for the year 2007-08 & 2008-09. The average Cost of Supply for FY11 will be Rs. 6.92 per unit. On account of the proposed tariff, the additional revenue of Rs. 603.31 crore generated and minimizes the gap to Rs. 1620.45 crores. In order to reduce the burden on the consumers during FY11, the licensee proposes that the unrecovered gap be treated as Regulatory Asset and be amortised over a period of 5 years starting from FY12. The Licensee has not sought funding cost for the unrecovered gap which it proposes to do at the time of truing up. 15.4 The schedule of the proposed Retail Tariff for FY 10-11 is enclosed with this petition. The National tariff Policy requires that by the end of 2010-11, the tariff for all consumers should be with in +/-20% of the average cost of supply. The average Cost of supply for the year 2009-10 for East Discom will be Rs. 6.92 per unit, but the minimum average tariff is proposed as Rs. 4.68 per unit. While designing the tariff, the licensee has made efforts to maintain M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 94

the Cross subsidy within limit and reduces the same as compared to the previous year. 15.5 The tariff proposals for FY11 are annexed.

The licensee has proposed the reduction in the tariff for RE Cooperative Society considering their paying capacity as its business is well known to the licensee. It is understood, that, the income accrued to the R.E. Cooperative Societies from sale of power is not at all par with the revenue demand raised by the licensee for the H.T. connections of the said Societies. Therefore, the Societies are not in a position to meet there own expenses leave aside paying the licensees dues- which are, inevitably, being piled up against the Societies. Looking at the circumstances which seem positively beyond redemption and repair, tariff reduction for the R.E. Cooperative Societies has been proposed to minimize the quantum of hypothetical and unrealizable revenue accrual appearing in the licensee s balance-sheets which adversely affects its cash flows and financial health.

In such case rebate/incentives as prescribed in General terms and conditions of tariff shall not be applicable on the excess demand availed however the penalties/surcharge if any shall be applicable. It is also proposes that the corresponding energy consumption for excess demand shall be computed on prorate basis and shall be billed at 2 times of the applicable normal energy charge. 11. Based on the information available, the Petitioner has made sincere efforts to comply with the Regulations of the Hon'ble Commission and discharge its obligations to the best of its abilities and resources of its command. However, should any further material information become available during the process of determination, the Applicant be permitted to reserve the right to file such additional information and consequently amend/ revise the application.

A16: COMPLINACE ON TARIFF ORDER FY10 16.1 Distribution losses: - The level of distribution losses has been the major cause of concern year after year. The efforts made in this regard lack a serious commitment and focus. The Commission while determining the tariff has been allowing only normative level of losses in accordance with the milestones laid down by GoMP, however, in this process, the losses above the normative level are borne by the distribution licensees. The normative losses are those prescribed by the State Government and are/were definitely achievable. The difference of actual losses and those prescribed continues to be substantial. As cost of power purchase accounts for 75% to 80% of total cost incurred by Distribution Licensees, the large difference in actual and normative losses is causing severe strain on financial position of these companies. In a short span of less than 4 years of their creation, these companies appear to have become financially sick. Their capacity to serve efficiently is constrained by a perennial cash shortage. Despite repeated directives, the capex implementation of all Discoms continues to be extremely poor. Even after 4 years of their coming in existence, an effeective planning cell is yet to be formed. Poor capex implementation and planning coupled with sharper increase in demand, in the opinion of the Commission, has further increased the technical loss component in place of its reduction. Efforts made to reduce commercial losses have neither been adequate nor have made much impact on the level of these losses. When viewed in the backdrop of achievements of private and Government owned distribution companies in most of other States, performance of distribution companies in our State is dismal. The Commission under section 86(2)(i) of the Electricity Act, 2003, shall separately advise the State Government to set up a monitoring mechanism for overseeing the capex planning and implementation, identification of high commercial loss areas and strategies for reduction of these losses. The Commission itself shall review the activities and performance related to above areas after each quarter. The distribution companies are directed to make all out efforts to show definite improvement lest this malady starts threatening their very existence. Discoms submission:- At the outset, it is submitted that a planning cell has already been setup in East Discom which is working effectively. The efforts being made by East Discom in reduction of technical losses as well as commercial losses and the constraints in achieving the desired goals are described as under:- Technical loss reduction The activity related with reduction of technical loss requires a huge capital investment with appropriate planning and monitoring at execution stage for effective implementation. In the present scenario, the East Discom although have a capex plan formulated in the past but to attend the revised loss target by Hon ble MPERC, Discom have to undergo cumbersome exercise of utterly, yet quickly to revise the existing investment plan and somehow dove tailing the existing plan into the modified plan. By the end of FY 2013, East Discom has to achieve the revised target of 24% distribution loss whereas the existing capex plan is based on pre revised loss level of about 36% in the company. For preparing an effective investment plan, reasonable estimation of technical and non technical components of losses is quite important apart from voltage level wise energy flow and loss accounting. The physical targets for attaining revised target of 24% distribution loss would be best determined using a bottom-toup approach. However, integrated and detailed analyses, data, simulation studies etc, for each voltage level and system segment is needed, which, at present, is not feasible within a reasonable time. Hence, a piecemeal model has been adopted for each voltage level, using relevant macroscopic parameters, and matching various attributes in the overall estimation to obtain a coherent strategy. It is assumed that, the non-technical loss components in the 33 KV and 11 KV networks are not significant. The service line is however quite a weak component which is seldom included in loss or load flow simulation models. However, it is the weakest link, having lowest redundancy, in the supply system. For effective loss reduction in LT segment, the East Discom has already chalked out a program for execution of HVDS project in the high loss area which is in implementation stage. Under the HVDS project, ------ No. of mother DTRs are covered of which the M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 107

associated LT lines will be converted into 11 KV system. About 36564 No. of child DTRs (25 KVA & 16 KVA) will also be installed alongwith 129030 No. of energy meters installed on DTRs itself to cover the agriculture consumers. The work of HVDS is going on in full swing and likely to be completed by March 2012. By and large the results of HVDS are up to expectation and it is likely that the LT loss level will be under control after execution of the HVDS project. It is to highlight here that the HT to LT ratio which was 1:1.53 in March 04 has already improved to 1:1.36 by Oct 09 and it is further likely to improve by 1:1 after implementation of HVDS project thus bringing down significant loss reduction. Further, to strengthen 11 KV & 33 KV system, the Discom has already commissioned large number of 33/11 KV S/s, enhanced the MVA & KVA capacity of the X-mer and large number of capacitor banks have also been commissioned. The Discom has also planned to further add new 33/11 KV S/s in the coming years so as to control the loss at 11 KV level. So far as 33 KV system is concerned, it is admitted that in the past, no significant achievement could be made for strengthening of the system but now scheme has been prepared and posed to the funding agency i.e. Indo-German in which all the 33 KV network is covered and over loading shall be eliminated after implementation of the project. The scheme has been submitted for approval of State Government through which the funds under funding agency i.e. Indo-German are expected. Approximately 1300 Km 33 KV new lines worth Rs. 179 Cr. shall be laid down under this scheme which will take about 3 years to finish after commencement. Similarly, about 25 No EHV Sub-stations are also planned for commissioning by end of FY 2012 by the Transmission Company. Commercial loss reduction The East Discom is also taking various steps for bringing down non-technical (commercial) loss level. A few of the initiatives are as follows- Laying of aerial bunched/armoured cables in theft infested urban/suburban areas and conversion of conventional LVDS power supply system to HVDS system; On-line interactive telemetering using mobile/pstn networks from remote locations for identified high-value HT and LT consumers (e.g. industrial/ commercial installations); Introduction and stabilization of proper energy audit/accounting systems/ procedures and MIS for revenue and theft of energy; Effective and more tamper-proof consumer metering by installing high-precision state-of-the-art meters; Introduction and roll-out of franchise in distribution sector; Shifting of meters to conspicuous and accessible locations; Miscellaneous infrastructural reinforcements- e.g., vehicles; Vigilance activities by conducting special raids in theft prone areas by flying squads & O&M staff etc. 16.2 Meterization of unmetered connections: The Electricity Act at Section 55 (1) provides that the supply of electricity after the expiry of two years from the appointed date shall not be made except through installation of the correct meter. The State Commission has been authorized to extend the said period of two years. The Commission on request of the distribution licensees had extended the said period, however, the licensees have not been able to ensure full compliance. 16.3 Un-metered connections are in domestic and agricultural consumer categories. During the course of a meeting held earlier with the management of the Distribution Companies, it was assured that all unmetered domestic connections as in the month of Dec., 07 in urban areas would be provided with the meters by the end of March, 2009. The licensees have reported that some of the connections under this category are yet to be provided with the meters and have requested to extend the period till June, 2009. In addition, the licensees have reported that a large M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 108

number of illegal connections both in urban and rural areas have been regularized without providing meters so as to bring them in the billing net. 16.4 Difficulties were expressed in providing individual meters to the agricultural consumers. The Commission had therefore directed that till such time individual meters are installed, meters on distribution transformers be provided to measure agricultural consumption. The progress in this regard has been far from satisfactory. It may be mentioned here that consumption of agricultural connections varies from season to season and from year to year depending upon the intensity of rainfall, ground water level, type of crop sown etc. etc. The present method of assessment of unmetered agricultural consumer is not satisfactory as it does not account for geographical variances. This also leads to another related issue of determination of benchmarks for assessment in case of un-metered agricultural connections. The Commission had earlier directed to carry out study and submit the report with regard to annual consumption made by the un-metered consumers based on consumption recorded in DTR meters. Reports submitted by the licensee are not found acceptable as the reports have not been prepared giving details of actual data in a cohesive and desirable manner and the sample size was too small to be considered as representative. The Commission expects the licensee to take the issue of meterization more seriously and directs as follows:- (a) As agreed earlier during the CMDs meet, all un-metered domestic connections in urban areas as in the month of December, 07 should have been provided with meters by the end of June, 2009. Compliance in this regard be submitted within a month. (b) All un-metered domestic connections in urban areas given after December, 07 be provided with meters in a phased manner and meterisation be completed by March, 2010. (c) All un-metered domestic connections in rural areas be provided with meters in a phased manner and meterisation be completed by March, 2010. (d) Not less than 25% of the distribution transformers having pre-dominantely agricultural load covering the entire area of the Company be provided with meters by end of March, 2010. Discoms submission:- Meterisation of unmetered connection It is submitted that most of the connections without meters in urban areas have been provided with meters barring few connections which could not be provided with meters due to shortage of single phase meters. All efforts are however being made to provide 100% metered connections in urban areas by the end of March, 2010. Recently, the company has also allowed LT consumers to procure the energy meter by themselves from the approved vendor so as to further boost up meterisation. Quarterly progress report in this regard is being regularly submitted to Hon ble Commission. So far as rural area is concerned, the Discom has a large number of unmetered connections mainly on account of regularization of illegal consumers in large volume during the past years. Due to shortage of meters these consumers could not be provided with meters as yet. The company is expecting that once the franchisees are appointed in all the Districts which is mandatory under RGGVY scheme, then the unmetered category will be speedily converted into metered category. Regarding providing individual meters to the agriculture consumers, it is to specifically mention that East Discom is already executing the HVDS project under which all type of agriculture consumers shall be provided with the energy meters installed at DTR locations. So far 6538 meters have already been installed for the agriculture consumers. In all 129030 agriculture consumers shall be provided energy meters by the end of project i.e. March 2012. The present method of assessment of unmetered agriculture consumers based on sample consumption of meter reading of DTRs installed on predominating agricultural consumer feeders may be modified based on the consumptions recorded on these installed meters under HVDS project. In this regard, data related to consumption of agriculture consumers shall be collected and submitted in due course for consideration. After installation of energy meters for individual agriculture consumers under HVDS Project, there shall not be any need to install DTR metering having predominantly agriculture load. 16.5 Data of at least 10% of total DTRs having pre-dominant agricultural load should be collected and compiled on a M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 109

regular basis. This data should include the details of the transformer location, capacity, ate of installation of DTR meter, initial reading, monthly readings of DTR, monthly consumption recorded in the DTR meter, number of consumers connected to the DTR, category of consumers and their connected load, details of survey of LT lines emanating from the DTR capturing all connections including the illegal connections, if any with their load and indicating the date of survey and the rank of the person who carried out the survey etc. etc. Based on the data so compiled, consumption per HP of irrigation pump should be worked out on a monthly basis from a particular DTR. It may be necessary to organize the work by nominating Nodal Officer at the corporate level of the company. The Commission directs to submit the above data and its analysis along with the petition for ARR and tariff proposals for the next year. Discoms submission:- Compliance on this issue will be submitted within one month time 16.6 Capex plan for reduction of technical losses:- The Distribution Company requires to develop a comprehensive capital expenditure plan which should not only aim at the reduction of technical losses but at the same time should also include the factor of normal load growth and incremental losses on account of such load growth. It is felt that instituting a Planning Cell staffed with technical experts of requisite capability at the corporate level of the company is essential. This issue was brought up during the meeting with the CMDs of distribution companies held on 5th March, 09, wherein the CMDs have assured of taking action. Only Central Discom has informed that they have formally created a Planning Cell which would be operative from July, 09. Response of other two Discoms is awaited. The Commission would like to emphasize that it is in the interest of the distribution licensees to have such an important activity being monitored at the corporate level. This Planning Cell is expected to assist in developing a comprehensive prospective capex plan and to monitor its execution and take corrective actions whenever and wherever required. The Commission would further like to have a regular interaction between the Planning Cell and concerned officers of the Commission so as to have details about activities of implementation of capex plan. The Commission directs to submit the comprehensive Capex plan within three months and to create a Planning Cell without further delay. The Commission would like to interact with the Planning Cell officers on the Capex plan in the month of August, 09. Discoms submission:- It is submitted that the planning cell in the East Discom is already in place and working efficiently. The planning cell has carried out study on all the 33 KV feeders and all 11 KV feeders having load above 100 Amp. The capital work proposed in any scheme for execution is based on the study done by the planning cell. A comprehensive Capex Plan has already been got approved from the MPERC with subsequent modifications to accommodate impact of various schemes being sanctioned. It may however be mentioned that with the revised loss trajectory as directed by State Government/ MPERC from time to time, slight modifications are required in the already approved Capex Plan which shall be done in due course. 16.7 Installation of meters having facility to record average monthly demand on domestic category of consumers:- The licensees in their petitions have proposed to introduce demand based tariff as optional for domestic consumers having contract demand of 10 KW up to 18 KW and mandatory for the contract demand above 18KW. However, the confirmation of having provided required type of meters on all such connections has not been submitted. The Commission directs to provide meters on all the domestic connections having a connected load of 10 KW and above during this year and report compliance. Discoms submission:- The East Discom has already undertaken the project of AMR for all such consumers having load above 10 HP. About 70% consumers have already been covered and balance 30% is likely to be finished by Feb 10. Therefore, the tariff proposal for introducing demand based tariff as optional for domestic consumers may be considered. M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 110

16.8 Segregation of rural feeders into agricultural and others:- During the course of meeting with the CMDs of distribution companies on 5th March, 2009, it was brought to the notice of the Commission that Companies are planning to take up the work of segregation of rural feeders into agricultural and others in a big way. This is a welcome move. The example of Gujarat State in this regard is worth mentioning where such work has resulted in not only assured supply hours but has also helped in reducing the technical loss. The problem of using pump connection even during single phasing will also get obviated. The Commission directs the distribution licensees to file within three months the detailed plan indicating the time lines for completion of work. Discoms submission:- In order to implement the program of segregation of rural feeders into agricultural and others, East Discom has already conducted a detailed study by deputing their senior officers to Gujarat State where such works have been under taken successfully. Based on the study, the East Discom has also undertaken the work of feeder segregation in the entire Sagar District where the works on about 611 KV feeders have been completed. The rest of the works are under execution and shall be completed before March 2012. 16.9 Minimum supply hours: - During the course of analyzing the objections submitted by the consumers and also during the public hearings a large number of consumers have protested that they are not being provided supply for adequate hours and at times the supply hours are reduced to 4 to 6 hrs a day. This is causing a lot of inconvenience to them. The Distribution licensees are under an obligation to provide adequate supply to the consumers in its area. Looking to the present power scenario, the Commission directs Distribution Licensees to ensure that following minimum average supply hours during the year be ensured: (I) (II) (III) (IV) Commissionary head quarters: 22 hours District head quarters : 19 hours Tehsil head quarters : 14 hours Rural areas : Total 12 hours out of which three phase supply for at least 6 hours Discoms submission:- Average supply hours during 2009-10 upto Nov 09 was as under:- (I) (II) (III) (IV) Commissionary head quarters: 23:10:15 hours District head quarters : 21:21:52 hours Tehsil head quarters : 15:57:07 hours Rural areas : Total 12:50:08 hours out of which three phase supply was 7:18:22 hours It could be seen from above that discom has given excess supply as committed in the tariff order.the average 3 phase supply hours in ruler area was 7:18:22 hours which is much more than the committed 6 hours supply.in view of this Hon ble Commission is requested to allow additional sales to unmetered agricultural connections over and above the norms at the time of true for FY-10 16.10 No new connections be released or enhancement of load be permitted under tariff category LV-4 LT Industrial 4.1 (c). Discoms submission:- It is submitted that no new connections are being released or enhancement of load is being permitted under tariff category LV-4 LT Industrial 4.1 (c). 16.11 Appointment of Franchisees:- The distribution licensees have been appointing franchisees from time to time. The franchisees being an agent of distribution licensees, the licensee still remains responsible to the consumers. However, in order that consumers interests are not adversely affected in anyway by appointment of franchisees, it is necessary to monitor this activity. The Commission directs the licensee to submit details M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 111

whenever a franchisee is appointed in the area of the licensee. The details may contain agreements with the franchisee having terms and conditions of appointment of franchisees indicating their role and responsibility in day to day operations. Discoms submission:- The details of appointment of franchisees in the area of East Discom along with terms and conditions & model agreements etc. will be submitted to with in one month. 16.12 Issue of tariff card with first bill based on new tariff for the year 2009-2010:- The distribution companies are directed to issue a tariff card to all consumers containing details of tariff for various categories applicable as per the tariff order for the year. Discoms submission:- Vide publicity has already been made for implementation of applicable tariff for 2009-10. The tariff schedule is also available on the web-site of the Discom. However, the tariff schedule booklet to all HT consumers has been provided. 16.13 Filing of ARR and tariff proposals in Hindi language: - All the distribution companies are directed that ARR and tariff proposals and true up petitions in future should be filed both in English and Hindi. Discoms submission:- This filing is made in English and all out efforts will be taken for conversion of this petition into Hindi version and it will take about one month time. 16.14 Accounting of rebates/incentives/ surcharge: All the distribution companies are directed that the details of consumer category wise month wise rebates/incentives/ surcharge given in bills as per provision of the tariff order be maintained and submitted with next year s petitions for ARR/ Tariff proposals. Discoms submission:- The rebates/incentives/ surcharge for entitled consumer are regularly mentioned in the consumer bill. The month wise detail for HT consumers will be submitted within one month from this filing. M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 112

In case the consumer is M.P. Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Ltd., Jabalpur 150

getting power through open access, units set off from other sources, the net energy (after deducting units set off from other sources, from the consumed units) billed to consumer shall only be taken for the purpose of working out load factor. The billing month shall be the period in number of days between the two consecutive dates of meter readings taken for the purpose of billing to the consumer. (ii) Load factor incentive shall be calculated as per following scheme and shall be given to those categories of consumers where it is specified: LF Range Incentive Computation of % incentive on energy charge (LF=x %) LF <= 50% No Incentive = 0.00 50%<LF<=70% Incentive of 0.6% for every 1% increase in LF above 50% on energy charges for incremental consumption above 50% load factor 70%<LF<=80% Incentive of 12% Plus 0.2% for every 1% increase in LF above 70% on energy charges for incremental consumption above 50% load factor LF>80% up to 100% Incentive of 14% Plus 0.1 % for every 1% increase in LF above 80% on the energy charges for incremental consumption above 50% load factor = (x-50)*0.60 = 12.00+(x-70)*0.20 = 14+ (x-80)*0.10 The above load factor incentive shall be available for the consumption corresponding to contract demand only. The consumption corresponding to excess demand shall not be eligible for LF Incentive. For advance payment made before commencement of billing period for which bill is prepared, a rebate of 1 % per month on the amount which remains with the licensee at the end of billing month (excluding security deposit) shall be credited to the account of the consumer in subsequent months bill after adjusting any amount payable to the licensee. An incentive for prompt cash payment @0.25% of the bill amount (excluding electricity duty and Cess) shall be given in case the payment is made at least 7 days in advance of the due date of payment where the current month billing amount is equal to or greater than Rs. Five lac. The consumers in arrears shall not be entitled for this rebate. Time of Day Surcharge / Rebate: This scheme is applicable to the categories of consumers where it is specified.

Off peak load period (10 PM to 6 AM next day) 15% of Normal rate of Energy Charge as Surcharge 7.5 % of Normal rate of Energy Charge as Rebate Note: Fixed charges shall always be billed at normal rates i.e. ToD Surcharge / Rebate shall not be applied on Fixed Charges Power Factor Penalty If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 90 percent, the consumer shall be levied a penalty @ 1% (one percent), for each one percent fall in his average monthly power factor below 90 percent, on total amount of bill under the head of Energy Charges. If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 85 percent, the consumer shall be levied a penalty of 5% (five percent) plus @ 2% (two percent) for each one percent fall in his average monthly power factor below 85 percent., on the total amount of bill under the head of Energy Charges. Should the average monthly power factor fall below 70%, the Licensee reserves the right to disconnect the consumer s installation till steps are taken to improve the same to the satisfaction of the Licensee. This is, however, without prejudice to the levy of penalty charges for low power factor in the event of supply not being disconnected. For this purpose, the average monthly power factor is defined as the ratio expressed in percentage of total Kilo Watt hours to the total kilo volt Ampere hours recorded during the billing month. This ratio (%) shall be rounded off to the nearest integer figure and the fraction of 0.5 or above will be rounded to next higher integer and the fraction of less than 0.5 shall be ignored. Notwithstanding what has been stated above, if the average monthly power factor of a new consumer is found to be less than 90% in any month during the first 6 (six) months from the date of connection, the consumer shall be entitled to a maximum period of six months to improve it to not less than 90% subject to following conditions: (a) (b) (c) This period of six months shall be reckoned from the month following the month in which the average power factor was found for the first time to be less than 90%. In all cases, the consumer will be billed the penal charges for low power factor, but in case the consumer maintains the average monthly power factor in subsequent three months (thus in all four months) to not less than 90%, the charges on account of low power factor billed during the said six months period, shall be withdrawn and credited in next monthly bills. The facility, as mentioned herein, shall be available not more than once to new consumer whose average monthly power factor is less than 90% in any month during 6 months from the date of connection. Thereafter, the charges on account of low average power factor, if found less than 90%, shall be payable as applicable to any other consumer. Additional Charges for Excess Demand M.P.

(iv) Consumption during the month may be billed for Permanent connection (A) Contract demand (Permanent) ----------------------------------------------------- A = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ X Total consumption Deemed contract demand or Deemed billing demand which ever is more Consumption of Temporary connection = Total consumption - (A) (v) The consumption worked out above for temporary connection shall be billed at 1.5 times the normal energy charges. (v) The demand in excess of deemed contract demand as calculated above at (g) (i) shall be treated as Excess Demand. For billing purposes such Excess demand, if any, in any month shall be treated as pertaining to temporary connection load and shall be charged at 2 times the normal fixed charges & energy charges of temporary connection. Additional charges for excess demand recorded during the period of temporary connection shall be calculated as given below : Fixed charges for excess demand = fixed charges per kva for temporary connection * excess demand* 2 Energy charges for excess demand = energy charges per unit for temporary connection * 2*(excess demand/deemed contract demand)*total consumption Load factor concession shall not be allowed on the consumption for temporary connection.
