    Tariff, Metering and Billing

    By Prof.A.S.Potdar
    Power Purchase Agreement
    (PPA)

    Power purchase agreement is agreement/deed


    between Electricity Generating Authority (Seller)
    and Electricity Purchaser (Buyer).

    PPA includes-
    1. Time of commencement of project
    2. Schedule for delivery of electricity
    3. Penalties
    4. Payment Terms
    5. Termination 2
    Structure of Pricing

    3
    Tariff Design

    A tariff structure is set of rules and procedures that


    determines how to change different categories of
    consumers.
    Typical tariff structure includes-
    1. Flat Rate Tariff
    2. Volumetric based tariff on actual metered
    consumption
    3. Multi Part Tariff
    Tariff structure depends on many factors like Grid’s
    characteristics, objective of pricing policy, type of
    4
    consumer etc.
    Steps of Designing of
    Efficient Tariff

    1. Gathering Information

    2. Evaluation effectiveness of current tariff


    structure

    3. Announcement of Reform

    4. Implementing the proposed reform

    5
    Major Components of Electricity Bill

    1. Fixed Charges

    2. Energy Charges

    3. Electricity Duty

    6
    Special Tariffs

    Average Billing Rate (ABR)- The ratio of the average


    billing rate for a consumer category (ABR) to the
    overall average cost of supply (ACoS) is an indicator
    of tariff rationalization for that category of
    consumer.
    Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR)- ARR
    means the annual revenue requirement
    comprising of allowable expenses and return on
    capital pertaining to the Generating Entity, for
    recovery through tariffs, in accordance with these
    Regulations. 7
    Availability Based Tariff (ABT)- Electricity is a
    commodity whose cost of storing is more than its
    production cost. The most economical method for
    electricity generation, transmission and
    distribution is just in time production where the
    availability and reliability of the entire system shall
    be very high to meet the unpredictable electricity
    demand on minute to minute basis.
    Elements of ABT-
    Capacity Charges, Energy Charges and
    Unscheduled Interchange (UI) Charges 8
    Time of Day (ToD) tariff is a tariff structure in which
    different rates are applicable for use of electricity
    at different time of the day.

    9
    kVAh Tariff-
    In kVAh based billing, fixed/ demand charges are
    levied on apparent power (kVA) and energy
    charges are levied on apparent energy (kVAh).

    AS per MERC order in case no. 195 of 2017 dated


    12 Sept 2018, the commission intends to
    implement kVAh billing to all HT consumer and LT
    consumers having load above 20kW from 1 April
    2020.
    10
    Net Metering

    Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits


    solar energy system owners for the electricity they
    add to the grid.

    11
    Gross Metering

    In this, billing is done separately for the power


    consumed from the grid and the power fed to the
    grid.
