T1: Legal and Regulatory Framework

1.1 Under the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003 the Assam Electricity Reforms First Transfer Scheme, 2004 (hereafter “Transfer Scheme”) was notified by Government of Assam on 10th December 2004. As per Schedule “F” of the Transfer Scheme the bulk purchase and bulk supply functions, namely, purchase of electricity in bulk from the generating companies including Assam Power Generating Corporation Limited (APGCL) and supply of electricity in bulk to the Distribution companies (LAEDCL, CAEDCL and UAEDCL) is with the ASEB.

1.2 Govt. of Assam, vide notification no. PEL.133/2003/363 dated 29th November 2005, has authorized Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) to continue as a trading licensee for a period up to 9th June 2006. (Annexure II)

1.3 Section 62 of the Electricity Act 2003 requires the licensee to furnish details as may be specified by the Commission for determination of tariff.

1.4 Section 7 of A. E. R. C. (Terms and conditions for determination of Tariff) Regulations 2005 lays down the following:

The licensee and generating company may file a tariff petition annually with the Commission to determine changes to the current tariff by not later than 1st December unless an extension is granted by the Commission upon application.

In the tariff petition, the licensee and generating company shall submit information for the purpose of calculating expected revenue and expenditure and for furnishing information for tariff determination in formats that will be issued separately by the Commission

The tariff petition shall be accompanied by financial and performance information in forms specified by the Commission for the previous year/years, current year and the ensuing year. The information for the previous year should be based on audited accounts and in case audited accounts for previous year are not available, audited accounts for the latest proceeding previous year should also be filed along with unaudited accounts for all the succeeding year.

If a person holds more than one licensee and /or is deemed to be licensee for more than one area of distribution or transmission, he shall submit separate petitions in respect of each licensee or area of transmission or distribution.

1.5 The petitioner has now prepared the petition for the approval of its annual revenue requirement for FY 2006-07 and its proposal for Bulk Supply Tariff and submits the same to AERC.

T2: Annual Revenue Requirement for FY 2006-07

2.1 ASEB is expected to carry out the function of Bulk Purchase and Supply, i.e., purchase of electricity from various generating sources including APGCL and supply of electricity in bulk to the distribution companies. The Bulk Supply Tariff (BST) at which ASEB will supply power to distribution companies will be determined by the Commission, based on the approved Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) of ASEB. In its function as a Bulk Supplier, ASEB does not propose any trading margin or return, i.e., all revenues from the power traded to other states/utilities/licensees, all set off against the gross revenue requirement for ASEB, and ASEB has not claimed any component of reasonable return as part of its proposed ARR.

2.2 The projected elements of the ARR for the Ensuing Year FY 2006-07 and hence the estimated Bulk Supply Tariff are explained in the following sections.

Plant Wise Power Procurement and Power Purchase Costs for FY 2006-07

2.3 As per the Annual Revenue Requirement of the distribution companies, their total sales work out to be 2,355 MU for FY 2006-07. After accounting for distribution losses (28.50% on a weighted average basis) the total energy required at the Distribution Grid and to be purchased from ASEB by the Distribution companies is 3,293 MU for FY 2006-07. The transmission loss benchmark set for the transmission company is 7.50%. Hence, the energy required to meet the demand of the three distribution companies at an overall loss level of 33.86% in the Assam’s T&D system is 3,561 MU.

2.4 It has adopted the following methodology for estimating the power purchase cost:

(a) ASEB Trader has estimated monthly availability of power purchase from various sources of power namely, APGCL, NEEPCO, NHPC, DLF and MeSEB.

(b) In case there is a surplus / deficit in any month, the excess / shortfall in the energy requirement has been considered to be sold to / purchased from various power traders after following procedures laid down by the Commission.

APGCL Availability

2.5 ASEB Trader has adopted the availability figures as made available to it directly by APGCL, which indicate that the company is in a position to supply 952 MU (net of auxiliary consumption) FY 2006-07.

Fixed and Variable Cost

2.6 The licensee has calculated the fixed and variable costs in terms of the guidelines of the Hon’ble Commission outlined in its Tariff Order for FY 2005-06.

2.7 The fixed charges for APGCL are estimated to be Rs 86.21 crores for FY 2006-07. This figure is net of miscellaneous income that is forecast to be earned during the year FY 2006-07 and without considering any return on equity. Return on equity has not been considered keeping in mind the AERC directive issued through its tariff order for FY 2005-06 - vide paragraph 6.29 in which it was stated that “Because of the poor performance of the ASEB in FY 2004-05, the Commission is not allowing any return on equity in FY 2005-06 by applying a zero return on equity rate.”

As APGCL is now a separate company and accountable for its generation and financial viability, the Hon’ble Commission is requested to review its stand. APGCL is in the process of implementing various programmes to improve its performance such as:

(a) Negotiating additional supply of gas to increase generation at Lakwa

(b) Carrying out repair & maintenance works at Namrup.

The benefits of the aforesaid programmes and more have already been reflected in higher

Petition for Approval of ARR and Revision of Tariff for FY 2006-07

generation figures in respect of Namrup and Lakwa Thermal Power Stations. It is therefore, prayed to the Hon’ble Commission that Return on Equity be granted @ 14% on the equity capital for FY 2006-07 keeping in view the age and difficult circumstances that the existing power stations of APGCL have to be operated in.

The following table shows the detailed break-up of the various components of the APGCL costs for FY 2006-07:

2.8 The variable cost is calculated for the two plants assuming the currently prevailing parameters, which are given in the following table. The total variable cost for Namrup (NTPS) and Lakwa (LTPS) is computed to be Rs. 108.71 crores. Hence, the total power purchase from APGCL plant by ASEB is Rs. 194.92 crores.

NEEPCO Availability

2.9 The availability of NEEPCO Hydroelectric plants has been estimated based on their design energy. In addition to the allocated shares, Assam is also availing 6% of the design energy as free energy from Kopili and Khandong Hydroelectric power stations.

While computing the estimated quantum of energy that is likely to be made available to ASEB system from the hydroelectric power stations of NEEPCO, the following considerations have been taken:

Petition for Approval of ARR and Revision of Tariff for FY 2006-07

Assam State Electricity Board

Page 13 of 46

(a) 12% of the net energy generated by each of the stations will not be available for sale as primary energy. It shall be due to the home state(s) as free allocation where the power station is located

(b) The actual energy generated is estimated to vary from the design energy on account of hydrological fluctuations viz. extent and timing of rainfall. This variance from the design energy has been estimated on a monthly basis, based on actual figures observed over the recent past.

The plant wise availability and corresponding shares of ASEB are shown in the following table:

2.10 The availability of NEEPCO gas based thermal plants has been estimated based on Plant Load Factor of 85% for both Assam Gas Based Power Plant (Kathalguri) and Agartala Gas-based Thermal Power Plant (Agartala). It will be observed that the projected energy that is likely to be imported from AGBPP and AGTPP varies from that computed by multiplying the plant capacity by the normative Plant Load Factor due to the forecasted incapacity of these power stations to run at full load throughout the year. This assumption is validated by the actual generation pattern observed during the year 2005-06 till date.

in the CERC Order. Accordingly, the charges for energy imported from NEEPCO’s hydroelectric plants have been computed as follows:

(a) Fixed costs shall be computed as below:

total fixed cost Fixed costs = (100% - 12% being the free energy that will be supplied to the home state(s) free of charge)

x ASEB non-free Share

(b) Energy charge shall be Nil as long as the actual generation does not exceed the design energy

(c) If the energy generated exceeds the design energy, then the energy charge applicable in respect of the excess energy generated shall be equal to 90% of the lowest variable cost of Central sector thermal power generation in the North Eastern region.

Power Procurement from Other Sources for FY 2006-07

2.16 Apart from procurement of energy by ASEB from APGCL, NEEPCO, NHPC and DLF as discussed above, it will purchase a further 229 MU from MeSEB and traders to meet its energy requirement.

2.17 As per the power procurement plan proposed, ASEB proposes to procure 8 MU from MeSEB at a total cost of Rs. 2.40 crores in FY 2006-07.

2.18 During the months of April, June, September and October to February, the availability of energy is expected to be less than the total demand. The estimated deficit for these months is 221 MU. The cost for buying this energy from traders is estimated to be Rs 78.89 crores @ Rs 3.92 per kWh for import during peak hours and @ Rs 3.45 per kWh during the rest of the day. These rates are in line with the estimated rates (based on offers received) in respect of energy proposed to be imported from various traders by ASEB as well as those quoted by prospective suppliers.

ASEB estimates an export of 140 MU during FY 2006-07. The surplus months are expected to be May, July and August in 2006 and March in 2007.

A summary of the cost of energy that is likely to be purchased by ASEB from the various power supply agencies is furnished in the following table:

Power Purchase cost – Other Components for FY 2006-07

Cost of Loss in PGCIL Network

2.19 From data downloaded from NERLDC website, it is observed that, an estimated transmission loss in Central Transmission Network of NER varies widely from day to day. For example during 2004-05 it varies from 3.67% during few days of October’04 to 6.83% during few days of January’05. Also during current financial year i.e. 2005-06 it varies from 3.72% during few days of November’05 to 6.08% during November’05 itself.

Since the transmission loss in the Central Transmission Network is a major component considered by the State Regulatory Commission for determination of receipt of energy from the Central Sector Generating Stations to ASEB bus vis-à-vis retail tariff, an average transmission loss of 4% has been assumed in respect of all energy that is likely to be imported through the PGCIL network as compared to the figure of 3.8% permitted by the Hon’ble Commission in its Tariff Order for FY 2005-06. However, it is prayed to the Hon’ble Commission to allow a loss which is commensurate with the present trends as ASEB should not be penalised for the losses which are beyond its control. In this connection, it needs to be mentioned that the current level of transmission losses reported by PGCIL is significantly higher at around 4.6%.

NERLDC Charges for FY 2006-07

2.21 The NERLDC charges are estimated to be Rs 1.60 crores for the Ensuing Year.

Rebate on Timely Payment for FY 2006-07

2.22 The licensee is entitled to a rebate of 2% on the timely payment to central generating stations. The rebate for the Ensuing Year is estimated to be Rs 10.00 crores.

Wheeling Charges paid to AEGCL (Transmission Company) for FY 2006-07

2.23 As per the Annual Revenue Requirement of AEGCL, the State Transmission Utility, the total ARR for the Ensuing Year is Rs 49.82 crores. The ARR of transmission licensee is expected to be recovered from the bulk supply tariff at which the ASEB will sell power to Distribution companies.

Employee Expenses for FY 2006-07

2.24 The First Transfer Scheme envisages the transfer of all employees of the erstwhile ASEB to the new successor companies, except a very few, which would carry out the functions for the ASEB in the transition period. It will be carrying out the function of trading with minimal staff in the transition period. The expenses of these employees of ASEB are projected to be Rs 1.30 crores for the Ensuing Year, in line with the projected figure for the previous year.

Administrative and General Expenses for FY 2006-07

2.25 In its function as a Bulk supplier and purchaser ASEB will be incurring Administrative and General (A&G) Expenses. The A&G expenses of ASEB are projected to be Rs 0.85 crores for the Ensuing Year.

Carry Forward Losses from FY 2005-06 to FY 2006-07

2.26 Based on the projected sales, generation and energy import as well as fixed and other operational costs for the year 2005-06, as well as the tariff that was in force during that year, it is expected that there will be a loss of Rs 45.14 crores – even without considering any return on the equity capital employed. In order that the financial viability of ASEB and its successor companies is not jeopardized, it is proposed to carry forward this loss to FY 2006-07 for recovery through the tariff that is proposed to be made effective for that year.

The detailed computation of the estimated revenue shortfall that is likely to be incurred for FY 2005-06 is shown in Table 14:

Additional Power Purchase requirement for 2005-06

2.27 During the winter months, generation from the hydro stations of the north eastern region goes down drastically. In the absence of any base load power station to support the power shortfall, there is no recourse other than to make further purchase of power from the power traders. During the period of November 2005 to March 2006, an acute power shortfall is foreseen and hence commensurate power purchase arrangements have been made to take care of this acute shortfall. The Hon’ble Commission had allowed Rs 34.16 crores for power purchase from power traders vide its Tariff Order for FY 2005-06. As against this, the revised estimated ARR for FY 2005-06 as given in Table 14 above, incorporates a power purchase cost impact of Rs 55.10 crores for purchase of power from power traders.

The Principal Secretary, Power (Elect) M&M Dept, Government of Assam, has been requested vide Chairman ASEB’s letter no ASEB. ACT/FIN/6/2005/3 dated 10/12/2005 for cash support for purchase of additional power as forecasted in the above letter. As mentioned in the letter, the MOS(I), Power has assured the State Government’s financial support to meet this additional power cost. A copy of the letter together with the details of forecasted power purchase requirement has been attached as Annexure III.

It is prayed to the Hon’ble Commission that in case there is any shortfall in fund support by the Government of Assam to meet the additional power purchase liability, then the same may be allowed to be recovered by the utility through tariff.

Terminal Liabilities for FY 2006-07

2.28 The Government of Assam vide notification no.PEL.190/2004/69 dated 4th February 2005 notified the plan for funding Terminal Benefit of ASEB Employees. The actuarial valuation for current value of liability for ASEB Employees was carried out on 9th December 2004 to determine the following:

(a) Quantum of Assets required as on the valuation date,

(b) Annual future rate of contribution, as a percentage of payroll, to pay for the gratuity and pension benefits,

(c) Total projected cash flow over the next 20 years period

2.29 The net present value of ASEB past unfunded Terminal Benefits as on 9th December 2004 has been estimated as Rs. 2,169.00 Crores.

2.30 In addition to this, actuarial studies have estimated that the contribution to be made by new companies for meeting the liabilities arising out of future services rendered by the existing employees after transfer date would need to be made @ 22.79% of the Basic plus DA every month of the existing employees till they retire.

2.31 Actuarial studies have also estimated the cash outflows for Terminal Benefits for past services for FY 2006-07 as Rs. 101.70 Crores.

2.32 In the Tariff Order for FY 2005-06, the Commission had allowed a total amount of Rs. 25.39 Crores which is now Rs. 24.69 Crores (due to variation in sales volume) as estimated for FY 2005-06 against a proposal of Rs. 60.56 Crores in the ASEB Petition. The balance shortfall amount of Rs. 35.87 Crores is required to be supported by the Government of Assam.

2.33 The estimated cash outflow towards past unfunded liabilities of existing employees, existing pensioners and existing family pensioners will be generated through the streams as shown in the following table:

2.34 From the above table it transpires that the total budgetary support required from the Government of Assam for FY 2006-07 amounts to Rs. 52.82 Crores. In case the Commission allows special charge on BST at less than 20 paise/unit, the deficit will be required to be borne through budgetary support from Government of Assam. In this context the Hon’ble Commission is requested to kindly consider the budgetary support to be received from Government of Assam.

2.35 In pursuance of Board Resolution No. 18 dated 11-04-05, Chairman, ASEB has constituted the “Board of Trustees of ASEB Employees’ Pension Fund Investment Trust” with 11 Trustees including Chairman ASEB/successor companies as President of the Trust. AEGCL shall act as nodal agency for dealing with all matters relating to pension. Head of Finance, AEGCL shall be the Member and Chief Executive and shall have the authority for all operational activities of the Trust.

In a meeting held on 03-11-05 with Member (Finance), discussions on the following issues have taken place:

1. Drawal of monthly pension and family pension by the existing pensioners and family pensioners who were drawing their pension from consolidated Board.

2. Procedure for payment of pension and setting up of Pension Cell under Finance wing of each successor company to administer and monitor the benefits of operation at the company’s end.

3. Recovery of administrative cost from successor companies.

4. Plan for funding terminal benefits.

5. Creation of GPF trust fund.

Actions are being undertaken on the above issues.

Government of Assam Support for FY 2006-07

2.39 No financial support has been assumed to be forthcoming from the Government of Assam. However, it is assumed that in the interests of the socio-economically challenged sections of the society, it will provide the necessary support as and when and to the extent required so that the very existence of ASEB and its successor companies is not endangered.

2.40 In this connection, ASEB would like to make special mention of the issue of terminal benefits. It is expected that the Government of Assam will make good any deficit that may arise due to inadequate provisions for this purpose made through successive tariff revision exercise. The deficit will be computed in terms of the Government of Assam’s order No. PEL-190/2004/69 dated 4 February 2005.

T4: Proposal for Bulk Supply Tariff

4.1 The licensee proposes to recover its entire annual revenue requirement through charges from the three Distribution companies and proposes its bulk supply tariff on a full-cost recovery principle.

Petition for Approval of ARR and Revision of Tariff for FY 2006-07

Assam State Electricity Board

Page 24 of 46

4.2 The licensee proposes to recover its entire net Annual Revenue Requirement for the Ensuing Year FY 2006-07 of Rs 928.03 crores. The licensee proposes to supply a total of 3561 MU to the three Distribution companies for the Ensuing Year FY 2006-07 based on the individual energy requirement of the Distribution companies as per their petition for approval of Annual Revenue Requirement for FY 2006-07, at an average Bulk Supply Tariff of Rs. 2.82 per kWh.

4.3 It is envisaged that during the transition period, the retail tariffs across the three Distribution companies would be maintained at a uniform level, i.e., similar category of consumers across the three Distribution companies would pay identical charges. However, there are variations in the cost structures, sales mix and consumer mix of the three Distribution companies. This will lead to different revenue realisation figures and expenditure implications leading to different Annual Revenue Requirements for the three Distribution companies.

4.4 In order to enable the implementation of the above philosophy of uniform retail tariffs for the same category of consumers across the state of Assam, the licensee proposed to charge separate Bulk Supply Tariffs to each Distribution company based on the capacity of the Distribution companies to pay to ASEB for the power purchased, after meeting all revenue expenses (including Reasonable Return–which has not been claimed for FY 2006-07 due to reasons explained earlier). Based on this rationale and the Annual Revenue Requirements of the Distribution companies, the licensee proposes the following differential Bulk Supply Tariff rates for the three Distribution companies for the Ensuing Year i.e. FY 2006-07:

Table 18: Proposed Differential Bulk Supply Tariffs for the Ensuing Year FY 2006-07

Proposed Fuel Adjustment Surcharge and Import Adjustment Surcharge clauses

4.5 Fuel Adjustment Surcharge: ASEB proposes to introduce a Fuel Adjustment Surcharge with a view to protecting itself from intermittent, adverse and unforeseen increase in the cost of fuel delivered to those power stations from whom ASEB purchases energy and whose tariff is either subject to escalation through a Fuel Adjustment Surcharge clause or has a clearly defined fuel cost element embedded in it. As the cost of fuel is wholly outside the control of ASEB, it will only be logical for ASEB to logical for ASEB to be insulated from such ‘cost shocks’. The details of the proposed Fuel Adjustment Surcharge clause are furnished in the following paragraphs

Fuel Adjustment Surcharge (FAS) clause (for ASEB)

Objectives:

The cost of fuel incurred in respect of energy generated by a power supply agency is the largest single item of expenditure. At the same time, the power supply agency does not have any control whatsoever on the cost of fuel delivered – basic price, sales tax, royalties, cess, transportation etc. to the power station. Moreover, there is no bar on the fuel suppliers as to how frequently or how much the fuel prices may be increased.

Petition for Approval of ARR and Revision of Tariff for FY 2006-07

Page 25 of 46

On the other hand, ASEB (and its successor companies) is constrained to make a formal application to Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission for any upward revision of tariff, and that too not more than once a year, to receive their formal approval. Only when this entire process - normally quite lengthy - is gone through, can the power supply agency implement the revised tariff.

It is therefore, proposed to introduce FAS in the Schedule of Rates that will facilitate the following:

ASEB (and its successor companies) will not need to go through a full-blown tariff revision exercise to neutralise the financial impact of any change in fuel costs (the cost of fuel being deemed to include that of associated taxes, levies, transportation etc. as was defined in the erstwhile Sixth Schedule of The Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948. Instead, any adjustment in the FAS rate(s) applicable for the year shall be given effect to, based on (a) estimates for provisional rates and (b) audited financial statements for final rates.

FAS will be levied on consumers on a provisional basis and shall be subject to a final adjustment on completion of audit in respect of each financial year. Should the final audited FAS rate be less or more than the provisional FAS rate(s) levied during the year, a corresponding credit or debit adjustment shall be made to the consumers’ accounts.

As there may be a difference between the provisional FAS rate(s) levied in course of a given financial year and the final FAS rate computed in respect of that financial year, the revenue for the year will include a component ‘Fuel Adjustment Surcharge due but not billed’ and shall be equal to the difference between the audited and the provisionally billed FAS rate(s) multiplied by the aggregate quantum of energy sold by ASEB to the distribution companies during that particular financial year.

Salient features of the proposed Fuel Adjustment Surcharge (FAS) clause:

1. FAS shall be made applicable equally in respect of all distribution companies.

2. FAS shall be constructed in a manner that ASEB will not stand to gain or lose due to differences in the actual values of key parameters such as transmission loss, distribution loss, sales mix, and station heat rates, import mix etc.

3. The impact of any increase in fuel prices – be it in respect of APGCL generation or in respect of energy imported from external agencies such as NEEPCO, DLF, Power Traders etc. - shall be neutralized by a corresponding increase in the FAS to be levied and collected by ASEB from its own consumers viz. UAEDCL, CAEDCL and LAEDCL.

4. It will be appreciated that the FAS clause being incorporated in the Schedule of Rates implies that the energy imported from external agencies should have a Fuel Cost component explicitly mentioned in the tariff as otherwise, it will not be possible for ASEB (or any of the successor companies) to pass on the impact of increases in fuel prices to its consumers through the FAS clause.

5. The FAS rate that shall be charged by ASEB to the distribution companies shall be computed as per the following formula:

Notes:

1. Should ASEB or AERC desire that in order to maintain total uniformity of retail tariff, the applicable FAS rate should be the same across the distribution companies, the FAS rate that shall be applicable to all consumers in respect of a particular financial year shall be the aggregate FAS payable by all the distribution companies to ASEB in respect of the energy received from it (ASEB) divided by the aggregate sales to all consumers across all the distribution companies during that financial year.

2. It may be noted that if a uniform FAS rate is made applicable across all the distribution companies, it will result in over-realisation of FAS by certain distribution companies and under-realisation companies by others due to differences in distribution losses.

4.6 Import Adjustment Surcharge: ASEB proposes to introduce an Import Adjustment Surcharge with a view to protecting itself from intermittent, adverse and unforeseen increase in the cost of energy imported (other than the fuel cost of energy imported) from external power supply agencies and/ or stations from whom ASEB purchases energy. As the cost of imported energy is wholly outside the control of ASEB, it will only by logical for ASEB to be insulated from such ‘cost shocks’. The details of the proposed Import Adjustment Surcharge clause are furnished in the following paragraphs.

Petition for Approval of ARR and Revision of Tariff for FY 2006-07

Page 27 of 46

Import Adjustment Surcharge (IAS) Clause (ASEB)

Objectives:

In case of Assam, bulk of the energy delivered to the power system comes from external agencies. Apart from being a major cost item over which ASEB has no control, this makes ASEB vulnerable to the risk of large arrears as the tariff of many of these external agencies is finalised by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission. Moreover, there is no bar on how frequently or how much the import prices may be increased by these external agencies. This issue is partly emphasised in case of energy imported through various power traders as it is done through short-term and medium term contracts that are subject to prevalent energy market conditions.

On the other hand, ASEB is constrained to make a formal application to Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission for any upward revision of tariff, and that too not more than once a year, to receive their formal approval. Only when this entire process - normally quite lengthy - is gone through, can the power supply agency implement the revised tariff.

It is therefore, proposed to introduce an IAS in the Schedule of Rates that will facilitate the following:

ASEB will not need to go through a full-blown tariff revision exercise to neutralise the financial impact of any change in import costs (other than fuel costs as that will be taken care of through the Fuel Adjustment Surcharge clause). Instead, any adjustment in the IAS rate(s) applicable for the year shall be given effect to, based on (a) estimates for provisional rates and (b) audited financial statements for final rates.

IAS will be levied on consumers on a provisional basis and shall be subject to a final adjustment on completion of audit in respect of each financial year. Should the final audited IAS rate be less or more than the provisional IAS rate(s) levied during the year, a corresponding credit or debit adjustment shall be made to the consumers’ accounts.

As there may be a difference between the provisional IAS rate(s) levied in course of a given financial year and the final IAS rate computed in respect of that financial year, the revenue for the year will include a component ‘Import Adjustment Surcharge due but not billed’ and shall be equal to the difference between the audited and the provisionally billed IAS rate(s) multiplied by the aggregate quantum of energy sold by ASEB to the distribution companies during that particular financial year.

Salient features of the proposed IAS clause:

1. IAS shall be made applicable equally in respect of all distribution companies.

2. IAS shall be constructed in a manner that ASEB will not stand to gain or lose due to differences in the actual values of key parameters such as transmission loss, import mix etc.

3. The impact of any increase in import prices (other than fuel prices) in respect of energy imported from external agencies such as NEEPCO, NHPC, DLF, Power Traders etc. shall be neutralised by a corresponding increase in the IAS to be levied and collected by ASEB on its own consumers viz. UAEDCL, CAEDCL and LAEDCL.

4. IAS shall be computed as per the following formula:
