RERC Regulations 72Chapter VI · Tariff for Hydro Power Generating Stations

Section 72 · Primary and secondary energy charges

(1)

Primary energy charge shall be worked out on the basis of paise per kWh rate on ex-bus energy scheduled to be sent out from the hydro electric power generating station. Rate of Primary energy for hydro power stations, be 50% of cost of generation or incentive rate applicable for thermal power stations, whichever is less.

(2)

The primary energy charge shall be computed based on the primary energy rate and saleable energy of the station. Provided that in case the primary energy charge recoverable by applying the above primary energy rate exceeds the Annual Fixed Charge of a generating station, the primary energy rate for such generating station shall be calculated by the following formula:

Primary energy rate =| Annual Fixed ChargeSaleable Primary Energy

(3)

Primary Energy Charge = Saleable Primary Energy x Primary Energy Rate

(4)

Secondary Energy Rate shall be equal to Primary Energy Rate. Secondary Energy Charge = Saleable Secondary Energy x Secondary Energy Rate.

(5)

Above provisions shall not be applicable to existing mini micro hydel power stations.
