2 Consolidated Gap/(Surplus) till FY 2011-12 9.16

2.2.13. The above Revenue Gap/(Surplus) is arising due to approved Bulk Supply Tariff
(BST) vide order dated 06th September 2011. The Bulk Supply Tariff for Power
Purchase Cost was approved taking into account consolidated revenue gap of
all four Discom’s at the time of approving MYT. Allocation of Power Purchase
Cost with these BST’s may lead to Revenue Gap/(Surplus) in case of individual
Discom. The Hon’ble Commission is therefore requested to consider
consolidated gap of all four Discom’s and determine the tariff accordingly.
Further, the Hon’ble Commission is also requested to allow us to allocate the
power purchase cost by modifying the BST considering the present changed
scenario of power purchase cost and consumer mix of each distribution
company.

2.2.14. The Hon’ble Commission is requested to treat the consolidated unrecovered


revenue gap of four Discom’s as regulatory asset to be recovered in the future
tariff;

2.2.15. The tariff filing formats (D4 at proposed tariff along with other applicable
formats) are attached herewith this petition for reference. The licensee
requests the Hon’ble Commission to accept this petition as part and parcel of
its earlier petition and addendum therein.
