Methodology of calculation of waiver of transmission charges

(1) Methodology for calculation of waiver of transmission charges in respect of

drawee DICs which have obtained GNA and GNARE

(a) The transmission charges towards ISTS for each drawee DIC shall be
computed in accordance with Regulations 5 to 8 of these regulations.

(b) The waiver of transmission charges shall be calculated in the following

manner: -

(i) Waiver of a drawee DIC other than a drawee DIC which has obtained
“GNARE” shall be calculated based on the following formulae:

𝑇
𝑆𝐷𝑅𝐺
∑
𝑛=1 𝑆𝐷𝑇𝐺
Waiver (%) = 100 X
𝑇

Where,

“SDRG” is the drawl schedule (in MW) through ISTS under GNA from the sources
eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 of these regulations in nth block;

“SDTG” is the total drawl schedule (in MW) under GNA through ISTS from all
sources in nth block;

“n” is the nth time block

“T” is number of time blocks in a month = 96 X number of days in a month

Provided that in case the “SDTG” for a time block is less than 75% of the
maximum schedule corresponding to GNA, the “SDTG” shall be taken as
75% of maximum schedule corresponding to GNA for a time block.

(ii) Waiver of a drawee DIC which has obtained “GNARE” shall be

calculated based on the following formulae:

18 | P a g e
 sum of SDRG for all time blocks in the month
Waiver (%) = 100 X
(total number of time blocks in the month X 0.3 X GNARE)

Where,

“GNARE” is the GNA to procure power only from the sources eligible for waiver
under Regulation 13 of these regulations;

“SDRG” is the drawl schedule (in MW) in a time block through ISTS under
GNARE from the sources eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 of these
regulations;

Provided that maximum waiver shall be limited to 100%:

Provided further that if such an entity draws power from any source other
than the sources eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 (2) of these
regulations, except after obtaining additional GNA or T-GNA or converting
GNARE into GNA by making an application to CTU, it shall be charged
@TDR of the State in which such an entity is located.

(c) Amount of waiver for each drawee DIC shall be determined by multiplying
Waiver % calculated under sub-clause (b) with the transmission charges
computed under sub-clause(a) of this Clause.

(d) Transmission charges for each drawee DIC computed under sub-clause (a)
shall be reduced by amount of waiver calculated at sub-clause (c) of this
Clause.

(e) Total amount of waiver shall be calculated as sum of amount of waiver for all
drawee DICs calculated under sub-clause (c) of this Clause.

(f) The first bill shall be sum of transmission charges as calculated at sub-clause
(d) of this Clause and amount arrived at by apportioning the total amount of
waiver as arrived under sub-clause (e), in proportion to transmission charges
of each drawee DIC calculated as per sub-clause (d) of this Clause, and shall
be used for billing under subclause (b) of Clause (2) of Regulation 15.

19 | P a g e
(2) Methodology of calculation of waiver of transmission charges in respect of
drawee DICs which have obtained T-GNA or T-GNARE

(a) The transmission charges for ISTS for T-GNA and T-GNARE shall be
computed in accordance with Regulation 11 of these regulations.

(b) The waiver of transmission charges shall be calculated in the following

manner: -

(i) Waiver of a drawee DIC other than a DIC which has obtained “T-GNARE”
shall be calculated based on the following formulae:

SDRTG
∑T
n=1(SDTTG)
Waiver (%) = 100 X
T

Where,

“SDRTG” is the drawl schedule (in MW) through ISTS under T-GNA from the
sources eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 of these regulations in nth
block;

“SDTTG” is the total drawl schedule (in MW) under T-GNA through ISTS from
all sources in nth block; and

“n” is the nth time block

“T” is number of time blocks in a month = 96 X number of days in a month

Provided that in case the “SDTTG” for a time block is less than 75% of
the maximum schedule corresponding to T-GNA, the “SDTTG” shall be
taken as 75% of maximum schedule corresponding to T-GNA for a time
block.

(ii) Waiver of a drawee DIC which has obtained “T-GNARE” shall be

calculated based on the following formulae:

20 | P a g e
 Waiver (%) = 100 X (sum of SDRTG for all time blocks in the month) /
(total number of time blocks in the month X 0.3 X T-GNARE)

Where,

“T-GNARE” is the T-GNA to procure power only from the sources eligible for
waiver under Regulation 13 of these regulations;

“SDRTG” is the drawl schedule (in MW) through ISTS under T-GNARE from the
sources eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 of these regulations in a time
block;

Provided that maximum waiver shall be limited to 100%:

Provided further that if such an entity draws power from any source other
than the sources eligible for waiver under Regulation 13 (2) of these
regulations, except after obtaining additional GNA or T-GNA or
converting T-GNARE into T-GNA by making an application to CTU, it shall
be charged @TDR of the State in which such an entity is located.

(c) Amount of waiver for each drawee DIC shall be determined by multiplying
Waiver % calculated under sub-clause (b) with the transmission charges
computed under sub-clause (a) of this Clause.

(d) Amount of waiver for each drawee DIC as calculated under sub-clause (c)
of this Clause shall be reimbursed from the already paid T-GNA or T-
GNARE charges on finalization of schedules, by 15th day of the next
month.
