issues:
a) Necessary approval for considering the portion of 400 kV VTPS- Nunna circuit-I
owned by APTRANSCO as ISTS line in par with the portion owned by PGCIL.
b) Sharing of 100% SCED benefits to beneficiaries.
c) NLCIL guidelines for Lignite transfer price for the period 2019-24
8.1 400 kV VTPS- Nunna –Manubolu
Due to ROW issues, 400KV Nunna-Manubolu line of PGCIL was terminated by LILO
of 400KV VTPS-Nunna circuit-I owned by APTRANSCO. APTRANSCO is not
receiving any Yearly Transmission Charges (YTC) for the 400KV VTPS-Nunna line on
APTRANSCO owned portion (18.405 KM), since SRPC is treating this line as Intra-
State line and hence they are not eligible for claiming YTC as the power flows on this
line are less than 50%. However, PGCIL is claiming YTC for its own portion treating
the small portion of line as Inter-state line.
APPCC has requested to look into this matter and accord necessary approval for
considering the 400KV VTPS-Nunna line as Inter-state line on par with PGCIL.
This may please be deliberated.

SCED benefits to beneficiaries. The action taken on this subject may kindly be
updated.
In this regard it may please be noted that in the 44th
meeting of Commercial Sub-
Committee, on sharing of benefits accrued in the SCED scheme, it was decided that
beneficiaries may take up with CERC for reviewing the benefit sharing as there is no
consensus among the members.
The beneficiaries may update the action taken.
8.3 NLCIL guidelines for Lignite transfer price for the period 2019-24
APPCC has stated the following:
CERC, in its Tariff Regulation for 2019-24 had directed that the input price of
Lignite from the integrated mine shall be determined by the Commission for
which appropriate regulations shall be notified separately and till such time
CERC directed to continue to adopt Ministry of Coal guidelines.
Accordingly, MoC was approached by NLCIL for issuing necessary directions.
In this regard, MoC vide letter dated 24.06.2019 has directed that, the Board of
Directors of NLCIL in consultation with the Stakeholders can decide the
lignite pricing. However, NLCIL has issued guidelines for Lignite transfer price
for the period 2019-24 with the approval of the Board of Directors of NLCIL
without consulting from the beneficiaries/Stakeholders.Based on the one sided
minutes NLCIL has raised bills for Rs. 31,53,48,731/- on AP for NLC TPS-II
Stage-I & II from April‟19 to December‟19 towards Security Charges, Water

16.1 Hon’ble CERC’s order dated 30.12.2019 in Petition No: 284/RC/ 2019
on sharing of gains in the monthly energy bills by NTPC
TANGEDCO had stated that M/s. NTPC had not furnished the month wise details as
directed by the Commission. But a Credit note for Rs. (-) 32,97,74,192/- in favour of
TANGEDCO has been received, in which month wise details of actual parameters of

damages Notice issued by TANGEDCO for delay in execution of the
project and Commercial Implications
TANGEDCO being the Lead Long Term Transmission Customer(LLTTC) has been
insisting in various forums that additional tariff burden, if any, on account of deviation
in the Line route as well as delay in execution of the project is not acceptable. There is
Agenda for 44th Meeting of Commercial Sub-Committee to be held on 29.05.2020 11/17
no communication from CEA/ WKTL after the joint survey regarding the diversion of
route and commencement of work.
Under such circumstances, the forum may deliberate the issue and take up the
matter with CEA/CTU/WKTL for early resolution of the same.
16.3 Discrepancies in RTDA billing from October 2019(Amendment in
RTDA of WR)
TANGEDCO had intimated the following:
M/s. DB Power Limited hadtaken up with WRPC regarding incorrect bilateral
schedule and PX schedule (Nil MW) in the computations of RTDA from
October 2019 onwards.
On reviewing the RTDA of DB Power, it is ascertained that STOA quantum of
DB Power has not been considered from October 2019 onwards. It is also
shown that the deviation charges are billed pro-rate to TANGEDCO also. This
issue may be taken up with WRPC for amending the RTDA by including the
STOA quantum.
The crux of the issue is that the Sharing Regulations does not provide to pass
on the transmission deviation charges on account of generators due to the
deviation from their schedule. This will lead to imposition of double penalty
for the distribution utilities.
In view of the above, it is requested that the forum may discuss this issue
16.4 Recovery of Relinquishment charges as per the direction of Hon’ble
CERC in order dated 08.03.2019 in Petition. No: 92/MP/2015
As per the direction of the Hon‟ble Commission, the Relinquishing LTA
customers shall deposit the charges calculated and billed by CTU as
relinquishment charges, within a period of six months of raising the bill by
CTU.As per the computation of CTU (as on 20.05.2019), the total
relinquishment charges payable by the generators/ LTA customers is
Rs.7299.07 crore to the PoC pool.
Already nine months have lapsed since publishing of the relinquishment
charges by CTU and no tangible action is taken to recover the relinquishment
charges despite the fact that the distribution utilities are burdened with huge
transmission charges on account of the transmission assets created at the
behest of the generators.
Hence, this issue may be discussed during the upcoming meeting and the
forum may take up the matter with CTU for recovery of the huge amount due
from the generators/ LTA customers.
16.5 Recovery of transmission charges due from BHAVINI as per Hon’ble
CERC in order dated 29.04.2015 in Petition No.105/TT/2012
The Hon‟ble CERC vide its order dated 29.04.2015 in petition
No.105/TT/2012 had directed M/s BHAVINI to bear the transmission charges
from the date of COD of the transmission assets I & II till COD of the first
unit of the generating station.
Agenda for 44th Meeting of Commercial Sub-Committee to be held on 29.05.2020 12/17
The issue of recovery of the transmission charges from BHAVINI was raised
by TANGEDCO in the 40th
and 41st Commercial Sub Committee meetings.
CTU stated that there is an outstanding of Rs.113.7 crore from BHAVINI and
the provisional bills recovered through PoC pool from 01.04.2012 will be
refunded upon receipt of payment from BHAVINI.
However, there is no information about the recovery of the above amount from
BHAVINI. In this context, CTU may furnish the following details and
deliberate during the meeting.
a. Details of bills raised against BHAVINI from COD of transmission
elements till date.
b. Working of provisional bills raised on account of the two elements of the
transmission system associated with BHAVINI
