UTTAR PRADESH ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION

No. UPERC/Secy./Regulation/2025-008

Dated Lucknow, January 8, 2025

NOTIFICATION

IN exercise of powers conferred under section 181 of the Electricity Act, 2003 (No. 36 of 2003) and all other powers enabling in this behalf, and after previous publication, the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission, hereby makes the following Regulations to amend the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Multi Year Tariff for Distribution and Transmission Tariff) Regulations, 2019 notified vide Notification No. UPERC/Secy./ (MYT for Distribution and Transmission) Regulations, 2019/408, dated September 23, 2019, as amended by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Multi Year Tariff for Distribution and Transmission Tariff) (First Amendment) Regulations, 2020 notified vide Notification No. UPERC/Secy./ Regulations/2020-082, dated June 5, 2020 and Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Multi Year Tariff for Distribution and Transmission Tariff) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2022 notified vide Notification No. UPERC/Secy./ Regulations/2022-668 dated January 4, 2022, namely: - 1. Short title and commencement

1.1 These Regulations may be called the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MYT for Distribution and Transmission Tariff) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2025.

1.2 These Regulations shall come into force from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette of the Uttar Pradesh Government.

2. The provisions of Regulation 16 "Treatment of incremental Power Procurement Cost" of the MYT for Distribution and Transmission Tariff) Regulations, 2019 are replaced as hereunder:

16.1 Computation of fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge:

(1) For the purposes of these Regulations "Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge" (FPPAS) means the change in the cost of power, supplied to consumers, due to changes in Fuel cost, power purchase cost and transmission charges with reference to the cost of power supply approved by the Commission.

(2) Fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge shall be calculated and billed to consumers on RATE as defined in the applicable Tariff Order (net of regulatory discount, if any, approved by the Commission), automatically, without going through the regulatory approval process, on a monthly basis, according to the formula,given in the Regulation-16.2, subject to true up, on an annual basis, as decided by the Commission.

(3) Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge shall be computed and charged by the distribution licensee, in (n+3)th month, on the basis of actual variation, in cost of fuel and power purchase and Inter & Intra-state Transmission Charges for the power procured during the nth month. For example, the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge on account of changes in tariff for power supplied during the month of April of any financial year shall be computed and billed in the month of July. Similarly, if FPPAS is for power supplied during January of any financial year it will be recovered in April of next financial year:

Provided that in case of positive FPPAS, if the distribution licensee fails to compute and charge fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge in full, subject to the ceiling as provided in Regulation- 16.1(4), within this timeline, except in case of any force majeure condition, its right to recovery of costs on account of fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge shall be forfeited and, in such cases, the right to recover the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge at the time of true-up shall also be forfeited:

Provided that in case of negative FPPAS, if the distribution licensee fails to compute and charge fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge in full, subject to the ceiling as provided in Regulation- 16.1(4), within this timeline, except in case of any force majeure condition, such FPPAS would be recoverable from the licensee at the time of true up along with its carrying cost to be charged at 1.20 times of the carrying cost rate under these Regulations.

(4) The monthly fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge shall not exceed +/-10% of RATE (net of regulatory discount, if any, approved by the Commission) or such other ceiling as may be stipulated by the Commission from time to time:

Provided that any under-recovery or over-recovery in the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge on account of such ceiling shall be carried forward and shall be adjusted by the Distribution Licensee in subsequent months subject to the ceiling given in Regulation.

(5) The revenue recovered on account of fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge by the distribution licensee, shall be trued up later for the year under consideration as per these Regulations.

In case of excess revenue recovered for the year against the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge, the same shall be recovered from the licensee at the time of true up along with its carrying cost to be charged at 1.20 times of the carrying cost rate under these Regulations and the under-recovery of revenue against fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge shall be allowed during true upalong with carrying cost to be charged at carrying cost rate under these Regulations.

In case the distribution licensee demonstrates that FPPAS has been determined by applying the formula and excess/lower revenue recovery against FPPAS is on account of change in billing determinants or disallowance of power purchase by the Commission at the time of true-up, simple carrying cost rate under these Regulations shall be applied.

(6) The distribution licensee shall submit such details, in the stipulated formats, of the variation between expenses incurred and the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge recovered, and the detailed computations and supporting documents, as required by the Commission, during true-up of the normal tariff.

(7) To ensure smooth implementation of the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge mechanism and its recovery, the distribution licensee shall ensure that the licensee billing system is updated to take this into account and a unified billing system shall be implemented to ensure that there is a508 RPH 2025 (urja-2020-folder)- data 8e 6 mRrj izns'k vlk/kkj.k xtV] 8 tuojh] 2025 uniform billing system irrespective of the billing and metering vendor through interoperability or use of open source software as available.

(8) The licensee shall publish all details including the fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge formula, calculation of monthly fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge and recovery of fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge (separately for automatic and approved portions) on its website and archive the same through a dedicated web address.

16.2 Formula for Computation of Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge:

(1) Formula:

Monthly FPPAS for nth Month (%)= (A-B)*C+(D-E)$+ Adj Factor

X 100%

Z*ABR $ Shall be computed in case inter-state or intra-state transmission charges are not on per unit basis

Where, nth month means the month in which billing of fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge component is done. This fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge is due to changes in tariff for the power supplied in (n-3)th month.

A= is Total units procured in (n-3)th Month (in kWh) from all Sources including Long-term, Medium-term and Short-term Power purchases (To be taken from the bills issued to distribution licensees)

B= is bulk sale of power from all Sources in (n-3)th Month. (in kWh) = (to be taken from provisional accounts to be issued by State Load Dispatch Centre by the 10th day of each month).

C= is incremental Average Power Purchase Cost (including the change of fuel cost) = Actual Average Power Purchase Cost (PPC) from all Sources in (n-3)th month (Rs./ kWh) (computed) - Approved Average Power Purchase Cost (PPC) from all Sources for the year (Rs./kWh) (to be taken from the latest available Tariff Order).

D = Actual inter-state & intra-state Transmission Charges in the (n-3)th Month, (From the bills by Transcos to Discom) (in Rs.).

E=Base Cost of Transmission Charges for (n-3)th Month =(Approved Transmission Charges/12) (in Rs.).

Adj Factor = Change in Fuel and Power Purchase Cost (Calculated as (A-B)*C+(D-E)) for (n-5)th month – Amount recovered using FPPAS for the '(n-5)th month ' in the (n-2)th month

Z= Approved unit sales to retail Consumers in kWh for nth month as approved in the Tariff Order or the sales to retail Consumers in kWh for nth month projected in the Tariff Petition filed before the Commission in case Tariff petition is pending before the Commission. In case Tariff Petition has not been filed, FPPAS shall not be charged.

ABR=Average Billing Rate for the year (to be taken from the latest available Tariff Order in Rs./kWh).
