Public Notice
1.
The Tamil Nadu Generation and
Distribution Corporation Ltd. (TANGEDCO) had last year filed its application
before the Commission for final true-up and approval of Aggregate Revenue
Requirement (ARR) for the year 2010-11, provisional true-up and approval of ARR
for the year 2011-12, Annual Performance Review (APR) for the year 2012-13
based on estimates and its Multi Year Tariff petition for 2013-14 to 2015-16
along with tariff revision for 2013-14. Based on this petition and after
considering views of the State Advisory Committee, the public and other
stakeholders, Tamil Nadu
Electricity Regulatory Commission had
passed the Order in which the Aggregate Revenue Requirement for the 2nd
Control Period i.e. 2013-14 to 2015-16 was determined and revenue gap and
tariff determination for 2013-14 was carried out.
2.
As per provisions of Section 64 of the
Electricity Act 2003, it is incumbent upon the Licensee to make an application
to the State Regulatory Commission for determination of tariff in such manner
as may be determined by Regulations framed by the Commission. Regulation 5 of
the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for
Determination of Tariff) Regulations, 2005 lays down that licensee is required
to file tariff application on or before 30th November each year, with the
Commission. Accordingly TANGEDCO was expected to file a petition for the final
true
up and approval of ARR for 2011-12,
provisional true up for 2012-13, APR for 2013-14 and ARR and Tariff petition
for 2014-15 by 30th November 2013.
However TANGEDCO failed to file the petition before the said deadline.
3.
Hon’ble APTEL vide it’s judgement dated
11th November, 2011 in the matter OP No. 1 of 2011, has directed the State
Commissions that
“In the event of delay in filing of the
ARR, truing-up and Annual Performance Review, one month beyond the scheduled
date of submission of the petition, the State Commission must initiate suo-motu
proceedings for tariff determination in accordance with Section 64 of the Act
read with clause 8.1 (7) of the Tariff Policy.”
4.
TNERC
Tariff Regulations 2005 under Regulation 6 stipulates that
“(8) In case the licensee does not initiate
tariff filings in time, the Commission shall initiate tariff determination and
regulatory scrutiny on suo motu basis.”
5.
Considering the directives of the
Hon’ble APTEL, the National Tariff Policy and in exercise of the powers vested
in it under the Section 62 and Section 64 of the Electricity Act, 2003 (Act)
and the Tariff Regulations 2005, TNERC has decided to take up the matter of
Determination of ARR and Tariff for 2014-15 by initiating suo-motu proceedings.
6.
As per Financial Restructuring Plan
(FRP) requirement, the tariff is to be revised every year covering the ARR.
Under such circumstances TNERC has decided to proceed with the suo-motu
determination of ARR and Tariff for FY 2014-15 on the basis of information
available from TANGEDCO’s submissions to the Commission. With the available
information with the Commission, the following decisions have been taken by the
Commission:
a.
The 2011-12 and 2012-13 expenses will be
provisionally trued up based on the audited accounts.
b.
The APR for 2013-14 and ARR for FY
2014-15 will be taken up based on available information and audited accounts
for FY 2011-12 and 2012-13.
c.
The revenue gap and regulatory asset
determined will be provisional in nature and will be trued-up in the next year.
7.
Hence, notice is hereby given to all
that TNERC now has decided to proceed on suo-motu basis on the provisional true
up for 2011-12 and 2012-13, APR for 2013-14 and ARR and Tariff determination
for 2014-15.
8.
