Scope.—These Regulations shall be applicable to the buyers and the sellers i.e. the State Distribution Licensee (s), State Sector Generating Stations and Open Access Customers connected to the State Grid and shall also include the Directorate of Energy, Government of Himachal Pradesh, HPPTCL i.e. State transmission utility as well as the SLDC:

Provided that in case any such buyer or seller operates through any agency, these Regulations shall be applicable to such agency (ies) as well.

Explanation.—The sellers selling power to a person forming the State Entity, including the Distribution Licensee, on regular basis shall not be considered as separate State Entity in relation to such sale of power under regular arrangement and the availability of power from the such sources shall be accounted for by the State Entity purchasing such power for all intents and purposes. However, in case only a part of the total energy sales by a seller is being sold under regular arrangement and balance part is sold to any other person, not forming a State Entity of the State, such seller shall be considered as a separate State Entity in relation to sale of such balance portion. Accordingly the generating stations selling the entire saleable energy to the Distribution Licensee shall not be treated as the State Entities for the purpose of scheduling and despatching.

5. Principles for operationalising Deviation Settlement Mechanism.—The framework for Deviation Settlement Mechanism shall cover the following key design parameters:—

(A) Scheduling period; (B) Premise for least cost despatch; (C) Consolidated scheduling of all the State Entities at the State periphery; (D) Deviation and computation thereof; (E) Settlement period; (F) Measurement unit for State Deviation Pool; (G) Charges for Deviation; (H) Adherence to Schedule and Deviation; (I) Normal Rate of Charges for Deviations; (J) Premise for allocation of losses; (K) Submission of data by the generating station not considered as the State Entities; (L) Procurement of URS in the interest of the State Grid; (M) Congestion Charges; and (N) Transfer/Downloading/recording of Meters data and communication to the SLDC;

(A) Scheduling Period.—The scheduling in relation to a day shall be done for each time block in that day starting from 00:00 hours (IST) ending with 24:00 hours (IST) :

Provided that the Interface Metering, Energy Accounting and Deviation Settlement should be capable to undertake transactions with the duration of each time block as1373 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 21 मई, 2024/31 वैशाख, 1946 followed or may be followed in future by Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NRLDC) from time to time. All future resource planning, IT and communication system requirement and infrastructure development shall be undertaken to cater to this requirement.

(B) Premise for least cost dispatch.—Based on the availability schedule forecasted by generating stations (Sellers) and load requirement forecasted by Buyers, the SLDC shall draw up the least cost despatch schedule on Day Ahead basis for the State Entities in accordance with the merit order principles as applicable, or approved by State Commission, from time to time:

Provided that wheeling transactions of captive users and open access consumers shall be despatched as contracted subject to transmission and distribution system constraints and system emergency conditions.

(C) Consolidated Scheduling of all the State Entities at the State periphery.—The injection/drawal schedules of the State Entities, other than the Distribution Licensee, shall be prepared with reference to their respective injection/drawal points in the State and shall, for the purposes like preparation of consolidated schedule for the State as a whole, accounting, computation and recovery of various charges under these Regulations etc., be projected to the State periphery by loading applicable transmission and distribution losses of the STU and Distribution Licensee, as applicable: Provided that in cases involving sale of energy by the generating stations directly connected to the distribution system of the Distribution Licensee to the retail consumers of Distribution Licensee procuring power from such generating stations through Intra-State open access without involving STU system under the normal scheme of flows, the transmission losses of the STU shall not be loaded to their respective injection/drawal schedules for projecting the same to the State periphery:

Provided further that the Distribution Licensee shall give its net schedule w.r.t. the STU periphery which shall be projected to the State periphery by loading the transmission losses of the STU:

Provided further that all the charges specified in these Regulations shall be levied based on the data at State periphery:

Provided further that the SLDC shall ensure that sum total of the schedule/actual drawl or injection, as the case may be, for each time block matches with the corresponding total quantum for the State as a whole, as per the DSM bills raised by the NRPC/NRLDC, except for inevitable minor adjustments as may be carried out by the SLDC.

(D) Deviation and Computation thereof.—For the purposes of Deviation settlement amongst the State Entities, the SLDC shall work out the 'Deviation Pool Accounts' comprising over-drawal/under-drawal and over-injection/under-injection for each State Entity corresponding to each Scheduling period in accordance with the principle that the deviation in a time-block for a Seller means its total actual injection minus its total scheduled generation and for a Buyer means its total actual drawal minus its total scheduled drawal. Accordingly—

(1) Deviation in a time block for general sellers shall be computed as follows:—

Deviation-general seller (in MWh)= [(Actual injection in MWh)– (Scheduled generation in MWh)].

generation in MWh)] / [(Scheduled generation in MWh)].

(2) Deviation in a time block for WS sellers shall be computed as follows:

Deviation-WS seller (in MWh)=[(Actual Injection in MWh)–(Scheduled generation in MWh)].

Deviation-WS seller (in %) = 100 x [Number of time blocks comprising in an hour] x [(Actual Injection in MWh) – (Scheduled generation in MWh)]/ [(Available Capacity in MW)].

(3) Deviation in a time block for buyers shall be computed as follows:—

Deviation- buyer (in MWh)=[(Actual drawal in MWh) – (Scheduled drawal in MWh)].

Deviation- buyer (in %) = 100 x[(Actual drawal in MWh) – (Scheduled drawal in MWh)]/[(Scheduled drawal in MWh)] :

Provided that the scheduling as well as the actual drawals and injection, as the case may be, shall be reckoned at a common point as per the provisions under Clause (C) of this Regulation:

(E) Settlement Period.—Preparation and settlement of 'Deviation Pool Accounts' shall be undertaken on weekly basis coinciding with mechanism followed for regional energy accounts. The SLDC shall also prepare and issue detailed statements as per Regulation 10 alongwith such accounts.

(F) Measurement Unit for Deviation Pool Account.—The measurement unit for Deviation Pool Volume (Over-drawal/Under-drawal and Over-injection/under-injection) preparation shall be kiloWatt hours (kWh). Measurement unit for Deviation Pool Value (Payable and Receivable) preparation shall be Indian Rupees (INR). The decimal component of the energy unit (kWh) and amount (INR) shall be rounded off to nearest integer value.

(G) Charges for Deviation.—The charges for Deviation shall be computed at the rates specified in Regulation 7 or such other rates subsequently notified by the Commission from time to time.

(H) Adherence to Schedule and Deviation.—(i) The SLDC shall endeavour that the grid frequency remains close to 50.000 Hz and in case frequency goes outside the allowable band, ensure that the frequency is restored within the allowable band of 49.900-50.050 Hz at the earliest;

(ii) For a secure and stable operation of the grid, every grid connected State entity shall adhere to its schedule and shall not deviate in a schedule. In particular, the deviation in the following nature must be avoided:—

(a) for a time block in which the average frequency is less than 49.95 Hz any under injection by a seller or overdrawl by the buyer must be avoided;

(b) in a time block in which the average frequency exceeds 50.03 Hz, the over injection by the seller or underdrawl by the buyer must be avoided;

(iii) All State entities shall adhere to their schedule of injection or drawl, as the case may be, and take corrective action as required under relevant Regulations and as1375 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 21 मई, 2024/31 वैशाख, 1946 directed by the SLDC or any other appropriate competent Load Despatch Centre so that the grid frequency is maintained and remains within the allowable band;

(iv) the related procedural matters in respect of deviation, computation, charges, which have not otherwise specified in any Regulations of the Commission, shall be suitably dealt by the State Load Despatch Centre; and

(v) no State Entity shall be entitled to violate the schedule merely because it is liable to pay the deviation charges.

(I) Normal Rate of Charges for Deviations.—(1) The normal rate of charges for deviation for a time block shall be equal to the normal rate of charges for deviation, as followed by Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC) for the billing purpose for that time block in line with the provisions of the CERC (Deviation Settlement Mechanism and Related Matters) Regulations, 2022.

(2) The normal rate of charges for deviation shall be rounded off to the nearest two decimal places.

(J) Premise for allocation of losses.—For the purpose of Deviation Pool accounting, intra- State transmission system losses and distribution losses, as approved by the Commission, shall be applicable to the State Entities using State network on their actual drawal/injection:

Provided that the State Load Despatch Centre shall maintain account of actual intra- State transmission system loss for each time block and publish reconciliation statement of 52 weekly average loss vis-à-vis approved loss by the Commission on its website:

Provided further that State Transmission Utility (STU)/ Transmission Licensee shall submit the meter data of HP Periphery and STU Periphery as required by the SLDC.

(i) a consumer who meets part of his requirement through open access and balance through supply of power by the Distribution Licensee, shall be entitled to draw the total power within its sanctioned contract demand irrespective of its purchase of power through open access. However, where the consumer has revised his contract demand temporarily within the total sanctioned contact demand as per the provisions of the Supply Code and relevant tariff order, he shall be entitled to draw power within such revised contact demand only until he further revises the contract demand. In case the consumer desires to draw power in excess of his sanctioned contact demand, he shall have to get his sanctioned contact demand increased in accordance with the provisions1386 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 21 मई, 2024/31 वैशाख, 1946 of the Supply Code and other relevant regulations notified by the Commission from time to time;

(ii) demand charges shall be payable by the consumer on the sanctioned contract demand/revised contract demand irrespective of its purchase of power through open access, to the licensee as per relevant Schedule of the tariff order. The additional charges on the average demand (Rs./kVA/month) during peak load hours shall also be payable on the basis of the total consumption during the peak load hours in respect of the billing month irrespective of the quantum of energy availed through open access or otherwise;

(iii) consumer availing short term open access shall submit the schedule only for drawal of power through open access and no schedule for drawal of power as a normal consumer of Distribution Licensee shall be required;

(iv) the total recorded drawal by the consumer for the different tariff blocks (i.e. peak, night and normal hours) in the billing month shall be reduced by the total scheduled entitlement for various time blocks in the respective tariff blocks in the billing month as per the schedules under open access arrangement, irrespective of actual drawal by the consumer in the respective time blocks, but subject to the provisions under the succeeding item. The balance energy shall be treated as supplied by the Distribution Licensee to the consumer as per the relevant tariff order of the Commission. This shall be subject to the condition that if the quantum of such balance energy works out to a negative figure in any time block, the energy supplied by the Distribution Licensee to the consumer in that time block shall be considered as zero and the remaining unadjusted energy for that time block shall be adjusted as per the succeeding item. In case the total drawal, including the same under the open access arrangement, exceeds the sanctioned contract demand or the reduced contract demand, as applicable, at any time during the billing period, such over drawal shall be considered as violation of the contract demand in accordance with the provisions of normal schedule of tariff and the contract demand violation charges shall also be charged accordingly in addition to the energy charges as per the schedule of tariff;

(v) in case of time blocks where the total recorded drawal of the consumer is less than the scheduled entitlement of the consumer in that time block, the SLDC shall account for such under drawal by the consumer in its accounts and compute the amounts payable/receivable by that consumer under Regulation 7. The payable/recoverable amounts so worked out by the SLDC shall be payable/recoverable by the consumer directly to/from the SLDC without involving the monthly billing for that consumer under the retail tariff. The Distribution Licensee shall not make any adjustment on this account in the monthly bills. However, the consumer shall not be entitled to any relief in the demand charges on account of any such under drawal;

(vi) the consumer will, however, continue to be governed by the Supply Code and relevant Schedule of Tariff order approved by the Commission; and

(vii) for the purposes of energy accounting, adjustments and billing, the energy scheduled (computed in kWh), under open access to the consumer of Distribution Licensee, as projected at the point of supply to that consumer, shall be converted into kVAh by adopting the actual average power factor as recorded in/calculated from energy meter data for each time block.

(ii) the liabilities of the defaulting State Entities to pay interest for the delay in payments to "the State Deviation Pool Account" shall remain till interest is not paid; irrespective of the fact that buyer/seller who have to receive payments have been paid from the "State Deviation Pool Account" in part or full.

(4) In case of default in payment of the amount recoverable by the Distribution Licensee from any other State Entities as per Sub-regulation (7) of Regulation 10, the outstanding amount, alongwith interest shall be recovered by the SLDC from the defaulting Entities as per the provisions of this Regulation by treating the same procedure as applicable for the Deviation charges. For this purpose, the SLDC shall assign priority to this amount on weekly/monthly basis, under Sub-regulation (4) of Regulation 10, starting from the date on which the matter is referred by the Distribution Licensee to the SLDC in accordance with these provisions. Such amount shall, on recovery, from the defaulting Entity(ies), be credited to the account of the Distribution Licensee.

(5) All buyers/sellers, which had at any time during the previous financial year, failed to make payment of charges for Deviation within the time specified in Sub-regulation(1) of this Regulation shall be required to open a Letter of Credit (LC) equal to 110% of its average payable weekly liability for Deviations in the previous financial year, in favour of the SLDC before 14th April of the financial year:

(7) In case a State Entity defaults in making payment of a weekly bill, whether directly or through LC, by more than 30 days beyond the due date, the SLDC, in order to recover the dues, may, apart from invoking the provisions made elsewhere in these regulations, also suitably curtail the schedule for the defaulting State Entity, by way of withholding No Objection Certificate(NOC)/concurrence or any other appropriate means, after giving a notice of 30 days to such defaulting State Entity and may also continue such curtailment till the entire updated outstanding amount, including interest also, is paid by that defaulting State Entity and the requisite letter of credit, as per the requirement of Sub-regulation (5) of this Regulation is also opened and made operative.
