Capitalization of asset during 2010-11
Observations & submission




The expenditure of 10.32 Cr on account of capitalization of
assets during 2010-11 is not approved by the Commission in
2010-11 ARR
The expenditure details and the status of the work for the
proposed asset capitalization is missing in the ARR.
Expenditure details of TRCM installation at Chiplima HEP
(6.80 Cr against order value of 6.06 Cr) may required to be
furnished
Hon. Commission may consider the expenses on account of
capitalization of asset to pass through in the ARR after
verifying the cost and necessity of the work
Interest on Loan
Observation & Suggestion




The loan liability of OHPC consist of state Govt loan and PFC
loan
OERC has advised the Govt that the effects of up-valuation of
assets and moratorium on debt services of state Govt loan shall
be kept in abeyance till end 2012-13
Interest of Rs 38.21 Cr on State Government investment /loan
(545.86 cr) in UIHEP may be kept in abeyance till end of the
control period Or OERC may recommend Govt to make it
interest fee loan
This will substantially reduce UIHEP tariff as well as the average
cost of supply of OHPC stations (6.8 P/U); since UIHEP
contribute app 35% share of design energy of OHPC stations
O& M expenses
Observation
OHPC has claimed O& M expenses as per CERC 2009 regulation (5.72
% escalation on previous yr O&M) and thereafter added various
Arrear salary and terminal liabilities
Submission
 Arrear salary and terminal liabilities of Corporate Office claimed in the
ARR 2011-12 ( 6.95 Cr) – It is not clear whether it is paid in 2010-11 or
proposed to be paid in 2011-12 . If not paid in 2010-11 same shall not
be considered in ARR 2011-12.
 Differential Pension liability (21.28 Cr) should be met through
Terminal (Pension) liabilities fund (140.95 Cr) earmarked for the
purpose by OHPC & shall not allow to pass through in the ARR –
Reply to the query raised by Director Tariff in OHPC ARR order of
2010-11

Interest on Working capital
Submission
 CERC Tariff Regulation 2009 specifies the interest of W.C as
SPLR of SBI as on 01.04.09 or 1st April of the year in which
the generating station is declared under commercial
operation, which ever is later.
 As all 6 HEP of OHPC has put on commercial operation
prior to 01.04.2009 the SBI SPLR prevailing as on
01.04.2009 may be consider for calculating interest on
working capital.
 Since there is provision of Rs 14 Cr for Rolling Working
Capital earmarked by OHPC during 2009-10, total working
capital requirement for FY 2011-12 (128.19 Cr ) may be
reduced by appropriate amount .
In Conclusion


Hon Commission may consider the suggestions of
consumer counsel with regard to interest on loan
(particularly of UIHEP), O&M, interest on
working capital and curtail the ARR accordingly
in the interest of consumers.
As per Govt notification OHPC is claiming license
fee for water used for generation of electricity
from all HEP (5.67 Cr) . Since it is nonconsumptive use of water and OHPC is Govt
Corporation OERC may advice Govt to waive the
license fees
