UNIT-V

Operational Framework

10. Types of Tariff and Revenues . The Jammu and Kashmir Electricity Act , 2010 exempts MGO from mandatory licensing requirement for generation and distribution of electricity in a rural area to be notified by the Government .

No. 37-2 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 19th Dec. , 2016/ 28th Agra . , 1938. 17

10.1 Costs , Revenues and Pricing Mechanism .-- The cost structure of Mini -Grid Project and tariff has to be market driven and is to be mutually agreed by the Consumer and Mini Grid Operator. It will have the following elements :-

(a) Fixed costs include cost of project development , generation plant , storage systems ( batteries ) , inverters , distribution network , cost ofavailing debt including interest charges , fixed taxes and fees . Further fixed cost may also include management cost , overhead and transaction costs .

(b) Variable costs is the running charges for operation , maintenance and management as under

( i) Operating cost include charges for operating the plant , billing and collecting money from consumers , maintenance and cleaning , guarding the plant , fixed technical losses like self consumption of inverters , storage devices , and losses in transformers etc ;

( ii) Customer relationship costs are allocated to resolve customer grievances etc.

10.2 Revenue Sources . Long term sustainable operation will require that the Mini - Grid Projects recover fixed and variable costs and the Mini - Grid Operators are able to earn a reasonable return on investment . The possible revenue resources for mini grids are fee for connections , sale of electricity , and through grants/ subsidies if applicable . As most communities in rural areas are very sensitive to price strategies for ensuring affordability of the service , certain possible strategies are given below :-

(a) Aligning Demand with Supply Accurately assess demand of varied type of consumers and match it with supply 18

[No. 37-2

The J& K Govt . Gazette , 19th Dec. , 2016/28th Agra. , 1938.

efficiently. This will help lower the tariffs , stabilize the revenue flow and ensure project viability .

(b ) Setting Tariff for Sale of Electricity : Tariff should maintain a balance between financial viability and rural household's ability and willingness to pay . Two categories are-

(i) Energy tariffs or pay - as- you- go model depends on actual energy consumed and works with a pre - payment or post payment mechanism provides an accurate record of energy consumption with flexibility on use depending on their income , usage with time of consumption but main concern is additional cost of meters and operational costs of meter reading , billing etc. which would need to be considered ;

( ii) Power or fixed tariff depends on the anticipated power use on watt basis by offering certain fixed number of lights , a mobile charging point , a fan , TV etc. consumption being regulated through timer, load limiter etc. with fixed tariff package to be collected at regular intervals .

( c) Charges for Connection : To recover cost of providing the connection and induce commitment from consumers but should be made affordable by reducing the upfront and allowing balance through installments .

(d) Grants and Subsidies : Grants and subsidy support as may be approved by Central/ State Government have bearings on affordability and scalability of the projects . The benefits of such subsidies shall be passed on to the consumers through affordable tariff.

10.3 Determination of Feed in Tariff for MGOs . The tariff determined by the Commission for renewable energy generating plants through the JKSERC ( Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from No. 37-2 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 19th Dec. , 2016/ 28th Agra . , 1938. 19

Renewable Energy Sources ) Regulations , 2013 and amendments thereof, shall be the upper limit for procurement of green power by the Distribution Licensee from the MGOs .

10.4 Power Purchase Agreement. The Distribution Licensee shall enter into the Power Purchase Agreement ( PPA) with the Mini Grid Operator one month from receipt of notice , for purchase of electricity from the Mini Grid Renewable Energy System ( MRES ) .

11. Distribution Franchisee Framework.-

11.1 The Distribution Licensee may appoint the Mini Grid Operator as the Distribution Franchisee ( DF) in the Mini- Grid Areas .

11.2 The Mini Grid Operator may undertake role of the DF provided the Mini Grid Operator fulfils the modalities to be specified in the implementation guidelines for the appointment of the DF by the Distribution Licensee . In such case , the Mini Grid Operator shall enter into the Distribution Franchisee Agreement (DFA) with the Distribution Licensee for undertaking operations on behalf of the Licensee and shall be compensated through the Distribution Franchisee Fee Mechanism.

11.3 The Distribution Franchisee Fee and other terms and conditions shall be covered in the DFA .
