ORDER
UPERC (Merit Order Despatch and Optimization of Power Purchase)
Regulations, 2021 (Removal of Difficulty) First Order, 2021.
This order is being issued under Clause 13 (Power to remove difficulties) of UPERC (Merit Order
Despatch and Optimization of Power Purchase) Regulations, 2021.
Whereas the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Merit Order Despatch and
Optimization of Power Purchase) Regulations (herein after referred to as the UPERC MOD Regulations)
were notified on 18th February, 2021;
Issue-1:
Whereas Regulation 4(2) of the UPERC MOD regulations provides that the distribution licensee
shall draw up the Merit Order Stack at the State periphery for Intra-State and Inter-State Generation sources
after taking into account the variable cost of each generating stations as submitted by the generating
company along with the inter-state transmission losses and AC-UBC charges as specified by Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Sharing of Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations,
2020, wherever applicable.
And whereas the difficulties have arisen regarding the calculation of Generator wise AC-UBC

Issue-2:
Whereas Regulation 4(2) of the UPERC MOD regulations provides that the distribution licensee
shall draw up the Merit Order Stack at the State periphery for Intra-State and Inter-State Generation sources
after taking into account the variable cost of each generating stations as submitted by the generating
company along with the inter-state transmission losses and AC-UBC charges as specified by Central
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Sharing of Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations,
2020, wherever applicable.
And whereas the difficulties have arisen regarding the computation of inter-state losses, as whether
such losses shall be computed after including AC-UBC charges or excluding AC-UBC charges.
Issue-3:
And whereas Regulation 2(20) of the said UPERC MOD Regulations defines “MOD Stack”means
the stack prepared on the basis of available variable charges for (n-1)th or (n-2)th month as applicable for
dispatch of generation in accordance with UPERC (Merit Order Despatch and Optimization of Power
Purchase) Regulations, 2021 along with average inter-state transmission losses and AC-UBC charges for
(n-1)th month and if not available for (n-1)th month, then last available.
And whereas the difficulties have arisen in the cases where the SG for any generating company was
zero in the previous month(s) or for more than two months on account of high VC or any other reason as
assigned, therefore leading to a situation where both variable charge of (n-1)th and (n-2)th is not available for
preparation of MOD Stack.
Issue-4:
And whereas Regulation 4(5)(c) of the said UPERC MOD regulations provides that the SLDC may
revise the MOD Stack considering the impact of Change in Law in the PPAs as notified by the Distribution
Licensee after approval of the Commission, with the condition that the revision in variable charges shall be
applicable from 1st day of a month, which falls after thirty (30) days’ time from the date of Order of
Appropriate Commission.
And whereas the difficulties have arisen in the cases where any Generator in order to keep its
variable charges on the lower side for the purpose of higher desptach, delays in submission of change-in-law
bills and subsequently claim the same on retrospective basis along with carrying cost, thus resulting in non-
adherence by the Distribution Licensee of the timelines approved in the UPERC MOD Regulations, for
revision in variable charges.
Now therefore, the Commission in exercise of its power conferred by Regulation 13 of the UPERC
MOD Regulations, 2021, hereby issues this order on above issues, being not inconsistent with the provisions
of the Act, to remove difficulties namely:–
1. Short title and commencement –(1) This Order shall may be called the UPERC (Merit
Order Despatch and Optimization of Power Purchase) Regulations, 2021 (Removal of Difficulty)
First Order, 2021.
(2) It shall come into effect from 15th September, 2021.
2. Consideration of AC-UBC charges and application of inter-state transmission losses in
drawing MOD stack (related to clause (2) of Regulation 4 of UPERC MOD Regulations)–The
distribution licensee shall draw up the Merit Order Stack at the State periphery for Intra-State and
Inter-State Generation sources after taking into account the variable charges of each generating
station as submitted by the generating company along with the inter-state transmission losses and
6
mRrj izns'k vlk/kkj.k xtV] 6 flrEcj] 2021 bZ0
common AC-UBC charges as specified by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Sharing of
Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations, 2020, wherever applicable.
Provided that the common inter-state transmission AC-UBC charges for the applicable period
shall be computed on the basis of monthly bills raised by PGCIL and energy drawl schedule for the
month from ISGS, considering the bills for (n-1)th month and in case the last month’s charges are
not available, then the last available charges shall be considered.
Provided that the inter-state transmission loss shall be computed on the sum of Variable
Charge of the generator station and the common AC-UBC Charge, considering the average of inter-
state transmission loss for (n-1)th month and in case the last month’s loss are not available, then the
last loss shall be considered.
3. Duration to be considered for preparation of MOD stack (related to Regulation 2(20))–
The distribution licensee shall verify and submit the details of variable charges of all generating
stations/units from which they are procuring power for preparing the MOD stack based on Variable
Charge of (n-1)th month and in case the variable charges of immediately preceding month is not
available, the last available variable charge needs to be considered and submitted to SLDC for
preparation of the MOD Stack by the 7th day and 22nd day of every month with intimation to the

4. Impact of change in law in preparation of MOD stack (related to Sub-clause (c) of
clause 5 of Regulation 4)–The SLDC may revise the MOD stack considering the following :

raise invoices immediately after the order of the Commission.The generator is also obliged to
submit the revision in variable charges due to generation tariff orders issued by Appropriate
Commission immediately after such an order is passed. In case the generator fails to submit the
revised VC including change in law impact to the licensee within 10 days of the order of the
Commission, the licensee may file a petition against the generator for non-compliance of
UPERC MOD Regulations. If the Commission is satisfied that such an order/information has
been unreasonably withheld by the generator, the generator may be imposed with a penalty as
prescribed under Section 142 without prejudice to any other action that Commission deems fit
in such a situation.
Provided that the revision in variable charges under (b) and (c) above shall be applicable
from 1st day of a month, which falls after thirty (30) days time from the date of Order of
