Ntpc Limited vs Madhya Pradesh State Electricity … on 22 October, 2007<\/div>\n
Bench: B Bhushan, R Krishnamoorthy<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

ORDER<\/p>\n
1. The petitioner, NTPC Limited, had filed this petition for approval of tariff in respect of Jhanor Gandhar Gas Power Station (657.39 MW) (hereinafter referred to as “the generating station”) for the period from 1.4.2004 to 31.3.2009 in terms of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2004 (hereinafter referred to as “the 2004 regulations”). On completion of pleadings and after hearing the parties, final tariff in respect of the generating station for the said period was awarded vide the Commission’s order dated 15.12.2006. The summary of the Annual Fixed Charges awarded is given hereunder:\n<\/p>\n

2. The target availability for the full recovery of above annual fixed charges was 80% in terms of the 2004 regulations. The same norm was also used for working out the fuel cost component of the working capital.\n<\/p>\n
3. The petitioner had filed a separate Petition No. 46\/2005 seeking relaxation of target availability norms in respect of the generating station as well as Kawas GPS. The petitioner’s contention was that despite its best efforts, it was not possible to procure sufficient quantity of gas to enable these generating stations to operate at the normative capacity. It had further stated  that the beneficiaries were not requisitioning the power from Kawas GPS  generated by using Naphtha, because of the very high cost of generation.  Accordingly, the petitioner sought to be allowed to treat Kawas GPS and  Gandhar GPS as single integrated unit for the purpose of recovery of capacity  charges on the “unit” achieving 80% machine availability at individual station  and 65% combined PLF. The prayer in Petition No. 46\/2005 was adopted  from the order dated 1.11.2002 in Petition No. 86\/2002 wherein a one-time  dispensation was made for the period upto 31.3.2004. The request of the  petitioner was rejected vide order dated 16.2.2006 with the following  observations:\n<\/p>\n
 7. The relaxation in the normative target availability level granted by order dated 1.11.2002 was “one time” act. This, inter  alia, was for the reason that target availability level for recovery  of capacity (fixed) charges was increased from 62.78% to 80%  with effect from 1.4.2001. While granting relaxation, the  Commission had noted that the special dispensation being  allowed was to be reviewed, while considering revision of norms  for the period beyond 31.3.2004. The terms and conditions for  determination of tariff for the period 1.4.2004 onwards have  already been notified. The target availability of 80% has been  retained in respect of the generating stations belonging to the  petitioner except for Tanda TPS. When specifying the fresh  norms for tariff determination applicable from 1.4.2004, the  Commission did not consider it appropriate to provide for  relaxed target availability for any generating station in case of  inability of the petitioner to obtain sufficient quantity of fuel.  Sufficient time was available with the petitioner to make  necessary arrangements for supply of gas from alternative  sources after grant of relaxation by order-dated 1.11.2002. The  petitioner as a commercial entity has to bear the responsibility to  ensure that its generating stations are available to the  respondents who do not have any role in arranging availability of  fuel for the generating stations in question. Therefore,  considering the totality of the circumstances we do not consider  it to be a fit case for grant of relaxation in target availability, as  prayed for, by invoking powers under regulation 13. The  petitioner is, however, at liberty to divert gas supply from Kawas  GPS to Gandhar GPS in terms of the consent already given by  the beneficiaries in the Western Region. The petitioner is also at  liberty to declare availability of Kawas GPS based on liquid fuel  for which also the beneficiaries have given their consent.\n<\/p>\n
4. Aggrieved by the said order dated 16.2.2006, the petitioner filed Appeal No 89 of 2006 before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (hereinafter “the Tribunal”). The Tribunal, vide its judgment dated 22.1.2007 disposed of the appeal with the following directions:\n<\/p>\n
42. Looking to the average combined PLF for the two stations together for the years 2000-2001; 2001-2002; 2002-2003; 200304 and 2004-2005, we are of the view that the recovery of full capacity charges in respect of Kawas and Gandhar GPS should be permitted on their together achieving 80% machine availability and 72% PLF.\n<\/p>\n
43. Having regard to the aforesaid discussion, the appeal is  allowed and the impugned order passed by the CERC is set  aside. In relaxation of the norms, the combined target availability  for the years April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2008, for recovery of full  capacity charges for Kawas and Gandhar GPS together, is fixed  at 72% PLF. Thereafter, no relaxation will be available to the  appellant.\n<\/p>\n
5. Subsequently, in the Review Petition No. 27 of 2007 filed by the Commission in Appeal No 89 of 2006, the Tribunal, vide its order-dated 2.8.2007, clarified that “para 43 of the judgment should be read in the context of and with reference to para 42.”\n<\/p>\n
6. On combined reading of the para 42 and 43 of the Tribunals order dated 22.1.2007, it is clear that the target availability norm of 80% is now relaxed to combined PLF of 72% but with a caveat that machine availability at both the stations taken together should be 80% and above.\n<\/p>\n
7. The relaxation in target availability norm as above has necessitated the re-calculation of Interest on Working Capital component of the Annual Fixed charges. It is because the 2004 regulations provide for computation of fuel cost, liquid fuel stock and receivables considering generation and sale of power corresponding to target availability. Accordingly, fuel component and receivables admissible under the working capital were worked out considering the normative target availability and PLF, which were both specified as 80% in the 2004 regulations, Now since PLF norm is relaxed to 72% for the period upto 31.4.2008, the fuel component and receivables in the working capital should be computed for generation and sale of electricity at 72% PLF. It is also significant that the methodology we are adopting herein is the same as the one adopted in the Commission’s order dated 1.4.2005 in Petition No 33\/2005 in respect of the generating station for the period 1.4.2001 to 31.3.2004. As the re-calculation flows out of the judgment of the Tribunal, we proceed to revise the interest on working capital component of tariff for the generating station.\n<\/p>\n
8. Accordingly, in supersession of the computation arrived at in Para 40 (a) and Para 40 (d) of the order dated 15.12.2006 in Petition No. 80\/2005, fuel cost and receivables in the working capital has been reworked out as follows considering sale of electricity at 72% PLF for the period upto 31.3.2008:\n<\/p>\n
