RERC Regulations 64Chapter VI · Tariff for Hydro Power Generating Stations

Section 64 · Norms of operation

- The norms of operation shall be as under, namely:

(1)

Normative capacity index for recovery of full capacity charges

(a)

During first year of commercial operation of the generating station

(i)Run-of-river power stations without pondage 85%

(ii)Storage type and Run-of-river power stations with pondage 80%

(b)

After first year of commercial operation of the generating station

(i)Run-of -river power stations without pondage 90%

(ii)Storage type and Run-of-river power stations with pondage 85%

(c)

There shall be pro-rata recovery of capacity charges in case the generating station achieves capacity index below the prescribed normative levels. At Zero capacity index, no capacity charges shall be payable to the generating station.

(2)

Auxiliary energy consumption:

(a)

Surface hydro electric power generating stations with rotating exciters mounted on the generator shaft 0.2% of energy generated

(b)

Surface hydro electric power generating stations with static excitation system 0.5% of energy generated

(c)

Auxiliary energy consumption for existing hydro power station

i. Mahi PH 2 - 3.0 lakh units per annum + 0.75% of energy generatedii. Mahi PH 1 - 4.0 lakh units per annum + 0.65% of energy generatediii. For new Mini/ Micro (MMH) Power Station - On actuals subject to maximum of 10% of energy generated

(3)

Transformation lossesFrom generation voltage to transmission voltage : 0.5% of energy generated.
