The actual generation of Bio-mass, Co-generation, Mini-Hydel, Wind, Solar and captive power projects for the year 2011-12 have been considered for 2013-14 to 2015-16. In case of new NCE projects, the details furnished by KREDL are likely to be commissioned from 2013-14 to 2015-16 is considered. However, in respect of wind projects, only 33% of the projected capacity by KREDL has been considered in each year based on previous year’s data. These projects are allocated to ESCOMs based on the geographical location of the project. The availability of energy in respect of new NCE projects like solar power, Wind Mills, & Mini Hydel is based on KERC tariff regulation .(Solar PV-19%, Solar Thermal-23%, Wind Mills -26.5% & mini Hydel-30%). Wind projects of Madurgudda and Guledagudda of NTPC stations are likely to commission during 2014-15. The PLF for the above NTPC stations is considered @ 23% as per CERC regulation. KREDL invited bid for 80 MW solar powers, based on rates obtained in competitive bid, 70 MW solar power projects allotted to ESCOMs. The PLF for these projects are taken as per KERC regulation.

The O&M expenses for the Base Year shall be determined based on latest audited accounts, best estimates of Licensee of the actual Chapter 8 – ARR for FY14 to FY16 Page 155 Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited MYT for 3 rd control period (FY14 – FY16) O&M expenses for relevant years and other factors considered relevant. The O&M expenses for the Base Year, if required, will be used for projecting the expenses for each year of the control period. The Licensee shall also propose appropriate Inflation Factor Norms for operation and maintenance expenses for the first control period’ The Commission in its Tariff Order dated 11.01.2008 approved the following formula for approval of O&M expenses. O&M Cost t = O&M Cost t-1 * (1 + WII + CGI – X) Where, ‘O&M Cost t’ is the normative O&M cost approved by the Commission for the financial year ‘WII’ is the weighted inflation index of CPI and WPI (CPI 70% WPI 30%) based on the contribution of employee cost, R&M and A&G towards the total O&M cost ‘CGI’ is the Consumer growth index, which is linked to increase (CAGR) in no of consumers. ‘X’ is the efficiency factor. For BESCOM the Commission fixes the same as 1% As per the above norms, BASE YEAR means, the financial year immediately preceding the first year of the Control Period. Hence FY-13 is considered as base year for the 3rd control period. FY-11 and FY-12 is considered as two years preceding the Base year.

Accordingly, the total approved O&M expenses for FY13 is as follows: Chapter 8 – ARR for FY14 to FY16 Page 156 Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited MYT for 3 rd control period (FY14 – FY16) Total approved O&M Expenses for FY13 Rs. in Crore Particulars Normative O&M expenses Additional O&M expenses (uncontrollable) Total approved O&M expenses FY13 693.35 129.45 822.80 As of now, the half yearly O&M figures for FY-13 as on Sept-12 are available.

FY-13 (As on 30.09.2012) 10.10 389.17 45.48 444.75 It is to state that the O&M expenses for FY-13 have been computed based on the following: Increase in Employee cost over and above the approved cost is due to merger of 76.75% of Dearness Allowance as Dearness Pay as per the Government Order NO. FD 7 SPR 2012 dated 21st April’2012. Dearness Pay is considered as Basic Pay, hence consequential such as House Rent Allowance, Travel Allowance, DCRG and other Basic pay related allowance will be increased. Month wise breakup of cost booked is shown below. Since the cost increased is due to the said Government Order, we request the Commission to allow the Employees cost in full. Sl.

For projecting Chapter 8 – ARR for FY14 to FY16 Page 157 Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited MYT for 3 rd control period (FY14 – FY16) the O&M expenditure for the control period, the Commission approved formula is considered. O&M Cost t = O&M Cost t-1 * (1 + WII + CGI – X) Where, ‘O&M Cost t’ is the normative O&M cost or each year of the control period ‘WII’ is the weighted inflation index of CPI and WPI at 70:30 ‘CGI’ is the Consumer growth index, which is linked to increase (CAGR) in no of consumers from 2008 to 2016 ‘X’ is the efficiency factor. For BESCOM the Commission fixes the same as 1% Calculation for WII ie., weighted inflation index: Consumer Price Index and Whole sale Price Index applicable to industrial consumers considering the Base 2001=100.
