(ix) The distribution licensee shall ensure appropriate accounting of Incremental Cost (IC) by upgrading the billing and IT software within three months from the notification of these regulations.

(2) Formula for computation of Incremental cost.—The formula for calculation of the incremental cost will be as under:-

Variables shall be in ` crores unless otherwise stated ICq1 = Cq1 + Fq4 +Aq3

ICq1 = Incremental Cost incurred in quarter q1 to be recovered in quarter q2

Explanation:

For the purpose of ICq1, incremental power purchase cost shall include all the bills paid or bills received and payable, and credits received by the distribution licensee, to the suppliers of power, during the quarter q1 irrespective of the period to which they pertain. This shall include arrears and refunds, if any, not settled earlier.

Cq1 = Incremental cost in quarter q1 due to factors specified under regulation 14-A(1) Fq4 = Carry forward factor for over-recovery /under-recovery of incremental cost of quarter q3 (ICq3) to be recovered in quarter q4 of previous year but could not be fully recovered.

Explanation:

For the purpose this regulation over recovery/under recovery of incremental cost of a quarter (ICq) shall be on account of the incremental cost adjustment ceiling as specified under clause (iii) of sub-regulation (3) of this regulation, if any, and the differential of amount worked out on the basis of estimated sales of the quarter and the recovery affected on account of actual sales in that quarter.

Aq3 = Adjustments on the basis of the Commission's order pertaining to discrepancies, if any, in computation of ICq3 from previous year in accordance with the Clause (vi) of sub-regulation (1) of regulation 14-A and any other adjustment as ordered by the Commission.

Similarly IC for respective quarters will be computed.

q = quarter of a year

(3) Computation of Incremental cost per unit (IC `/kWh) of electricity consumption.—(i) Calculation of IC `/kWh for a quarter shall be as per the following formula:

IC (`/kWh) q = (IC q/(estimated sales within the State for the next quarter as approved by the Commission in the tariff order excluding the sales to BPL consumer category) *10 Where IC q is in ` lakhs and Unit sales are in Million units

(ii) The per unit Incremental cost (IC`/kWh) shall be recovered from all categories of consumers in addition to the tariff notified in the tariff order of the Commission except from the Below Poverty Line (BPL) consumers.

6 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 2 अप्रैल, 2012/13 चैत्र, 1934

(iii) The incremental per unit adjustment to be carried out in a quarter shall be upto ceiling of 10% of average per unit power purchase rate for the year as per tariff order approved by the Commission and any under or over recovery shall be carried forward to the next quarter which shall further be subject to ceiling of 10% of average per unit power purchase rate.

Provided that the Commission, may by order, modify ceiling of incremental rates that can be recovered from the consumers on monthly basis.

Example: 1:

(a) Average per unit power purchase rate as per the tariff order of = Say ` 3/kWh the Commission for a financial year

= 30 p/kWh (b) 10% ceiling as per Regulation 14.A(3) (iii)

= Say 75 crores (c) Incremental cost of quarter q1 (ICq1) due to factor specified

under regulation 14.A (1) & (2)

= Say 2000 MUs (d) Estimated sales for the quarter q2 excluding BPL consumers

= 37.5 p/kWh (e) Per unit incremental cost i.e I C q1 `/kWh chargeable from the consumers in quarter q2 to recover incremental cost IC q1 in accordance with sub-regulation (2) and clause (i) of sub regulation (3) of regulation 14.A

(f) Per unit incremental cost recoverable after applying ceiling of = 30p/kWh 10%

= 7.5 x2000= 15 Crore (g) Under recovery of IC q1 to be carried forward and to be

recovered in quarter q3

= Say 25 crores (h) Incremental cost in quarter q2 (IC q2) due to factor specified under regulation 14.A (1) excluding the under recovery of IC q1 to be recovered in quarter q3

= 25+15=40 crores (i) Incremental cost in quarter q2 (ICq2) in accordance with formula under regulation 14.A(2) including under recovery of IC q1

= Say 2000 MUs (j) Estimates sales for quarter q3 excluding BPL consumers

= 20 p/kWh (k) Per unit incremental cost IC q2 `/kWh for quarter q2 to be recovered in quarter q3 in accordance with sub-regulation (2) and clause (i) of sub regulation (3) of regulation 14.A including under recovery of IC q1

Example: 2

(a) Average per unit power purchase rate as per the tariff order of = Say ` 3/kWh the Commission for a financial year

(b) 10% ceiling as per Regulation 14.A(3) (iii) = 30 p/kWh7 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 2 अप्रैल, 2012/13 चैत्र, 1934 = Say 60 crores (c) Incremental cost of quarter q1 (ICq1) due to factor specified

under regulation 14.A (1) & (2)

= Say 2000 MUs (d) Estimated sales for the quarter q2 excluding BPL consumers

= 30 p/kWh (e) Per unit incremental cost i.e I C q1 `/kWh chargeable from the consumers in quarter q2 to recover incremental cost IC q1 in with sub-regulation (2) and clause (i) of sub regulation (3) of regulation 14.A

= 1500 MU (f) Actual sales of quarter q2 available in first two months of quarter q3

(g) Recovery effected in quarter q2 @ 30p/kWh = 45 crore

= 60 - 45=15 crores (h) Under recovery of ICq1 on account of differential between the estimated sales of q1 and actual of quarter q2, to be carried forward and to be recovered in q4

Note.—Any over recovery on account of higher actual sales of quarter q2 shall be considered as credit received by the licensee as specified in subregulation (5) of regulation 14-A.

(iv) All consumers shall have to pay the incremental cost as determined under clause (i) of sub-regulation (3) of regulation 14-A.

Provided in case the State Government decides to provide subsidy on Incremental Power Purchase cost to any class or classes of consumers then, it shall do the same as per the provisions of Section 65 of Electricity Act, 2003. It shall be the responsibility of the licensee to seek prior approval of the State Government in this regard and maintain appropriate record of the same.

(v) The licensee shall within two months of the quarter end, provide information related to Incremental cost per unit of electricity consumption and under recovery/over recovery so as to enable the Commission to expedite the process of validation of IC recovered from the consumers within a month for any discrepancy to be taken into account in the next quarter or as per Commission's directions.

(4) The variation in power purchase cost due to UI and other unapproved purchases shall not be covered under Incremental Power Purchase adjustment.
