Electric Power Tariff 2022-CESC

Case Study of Electric Power Tariff 2022;

KERC  approved the proposal of Annual Revenue Return for FY 23 to FY25 submitted by CESC in December 2021 vide Notification dated 4th April 2022.  Break up of  2021  statistics furnished by CESC are as follows;

Out of total consumers of 34,19,960 under different categories. Energy sales of 6302.82 MUs  , Revenue in Crores is 4289.59 Crores. ,

1) LT-2 Residential category 20,52,580 nos  form 60.02% of Consumers with 17.14% of Energy sales [1080.61 MUs]  & 16.40% Revenue [Rs 703.46 Crores] earning.  

2)LT-4 Irrigation category[434,042 nos] form 12.69% Energy 2970.19 MUS. with revenue yield ofv1757.25 Crores (40.97%] 

3)Under HT tariff ; 2587 consumers [0.8%] share 1285.06 MUs [ 20.39%] with Revenue return of 1028.22 crores [23.97%].

 Few HT consumers have invested in IPP's in Generation of Energy & get the energy wheeled. Urban AEH consumers have installed Solar water heaters and installed Roof top PV modules and are reducing the peak load burden for grid & dependant on self energy[ Self sufficient in Energy]. PM-KUSUM YOJANa under Component-C & other schemes are launched to reduce this major share ( 47%) of energy sale by NJY feeders & promoting PM Kusum schemes in all the States of India.  2020-21 Target for  supporting 4.00 lakh Ip sets under this scheme. 50% by Feeder Solarisation by ESCOMs & 50 % by providing support to individual grid connected IP set.

KERC has taken note of the increase in  Energy loss in HT distribution & increase in Energy purchase price  from different sources. Distribution  subdivision of ESCOMs in KARNATAKA has the record of up to date digital data of 11KV feeders & Distribution Transformer Centres and software for  closely monitoring the new installations connected on each phase of TC, failure of Transformer centres. Check the Voltage regulation at the proposed tapping point while adding new TC's to the feeder.  Aggregate Technical loss of the 11 KV distribution with Technical loss in Transformer centre and loss in each section of Trunk line & spur lines of the feeders is calculated & compared with nett AT&C loss.
