Smart Summary

Factual and Procedural Background

The petition was filed by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (the petitioner), a transmission licensee, seeking revision of tariff under Regulation 6 of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 (the 2009 Tariff Regulations) by way of truing up of capital expenditure for the period 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2014, and for determination of tariff under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 (the 2014 Tariff Regulations) for the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019. The petition relates to a combined transmission asset comprising: (i) Extension of 400/220 kV Kohlapur substation (DOCO: 1.12.2006), (ii) 220 kV D/C Vapi–Magarwada transmission line with associated bays (DOCO: 1.5.2008), and (iii) 220 kV D/C Vapi–Khardpada transmission line with associated bays (DOCO: 1.7.2008) under WRSS-III in the Western Region.

Investment approval was accorded by the petitioner's Board on 20 February 2006 at an estimated cost of Rs. 7,565 lakh (including IDC). The Commission had earlier, by its order dated 11 February 2011 in Petition No. 175/2010, admitted a capital cost of Rs. 3,834.54 lakh as on 31 March 2009 and admitted additional capital expenditure in 2009-10 and 2010-11 (Rs. 51.49 lakh and Rs. 781.21 lakh respectively) for tariff determination of the 2009-14 period. The petitioner filed the instant truing up petition on 7 August 2014 in accordance with Regulation 6 of the 2009 Tariff Regulations.

The petition was served on the respondents (distribution licensees / beneficiaries of Western Region), public notice was published under Section 64 of the Electricity Act, 2003, and no public objections were received. The petitioner responded to Commission queries by affidavit dated 28 December 2015. No submissions were made by the respondents. A hearing was held on 21 December 2015. The Commission considered the material on record and proceeded to dispose of the petition.

Legal Issues Presented

  1. Whether the truing up of annual fixed charges for the tariff period 2009–14 should be carried out under Regulation 6 of the 2009 Tariff Regulations, based on audited details of capital expenditure (including additional capitalisation) up to 31 March 2014 and other applicable provisions of the 2009 Regulations (including Regulation 7, 12, 15–19)?
  2. Whether the capital cost as admitted by the Commission as on 31 March 2009 (Rs. 3,834.54 lakh) and the actual additional capital expenditure incurred up to 31 March 2014 (as certified by the auditor) should be accepted for truing up and included as opening capital cost for tariff determination?
  3. Whether the additional capital expenditure claimed for the 2009–14 period is within the admitted scope and therefore allowable for revision of tariff (and if so, to what extent)?
  4. What debt:equity ratio should be adopted for admitted capital cost and for additional capitalisation when determining tariff for the 2009–14 and 2014–19 periods (in light of Regulation 12 of 2009 Regulations and Regulation 19 of 2014 Regulations)?
  5. How should Return on Equity (ROE) be calculated (grossing up for MAT and using the prescribed base rate), and what MAT rates should be applied for each year of the tariff periods?
  6. What methodology should be applied to calculate Interest on Loan (IoL), Depreciation, Interest on Working Capital (IWC) and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) expenses for truing up and for the 2014–19 tariff period (in accordance with relevant provisions of the 2009 and 2014 Tariff Regulations)?
  7. How are ancillary matters — deferred tax liability, filing fee/publication expenses, licence fee, RLDC fees & charges, and potential future service tax liability — to be treated in the context of the petition and the applicable regulations?

Table of Precedents Cited

Precedent Rule or Principle Cited For Application by the Court
Order dated 11.2.2011 in Petition No. 175/2010 (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) Admission of capital cost as on 31.3.2009 (Rs. 3,834.54 lakh) and admission of additional capital expenditure (Rs. 51.49 lakh for 2009-10 and Rs. 781.21 lakh for 2010-11) for tariff determination for 2009–14. The Commission treated the admitted capital cost as the opening capital cost on 1.4.2009 for truing up. The debt:equity ratio admitted by that order (70.01:29.99) as on 31.3.2009 was carried forward for truing up and tariff computation.
Order dated 8.6.2011 in Petition No. 238/2010 (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) Holding that, in case of floating rate of interest, any change in rates during the tariff period will be considered at the time of truing up. The Commission applied the principle by computing Interest on Loan based on the petitioner’s actual loan portfolio and actual weighted average rates; changes in floating rates would be considered at truing up.

Court's Reasoning and Analysis

The Commission's analysis proceeded on the following principal lines, strictly following the applicable regulatory provisions set out in the opinion:

  1. Opening Capital Cost: The capital cost of Rs. 3,834.54 lakh admitted as on 31.3.2009 (by the earlier order dated 11.2.2011) was taken as the opening capital cost as on 1.4.2009 in accordance with Regulation 7 (last proviso) of the 2009 Tariff Regulations.
  2. Additional Capital Expenditure (2009–14): Regulation 6(1) of the 2009 Regulations required truing up of capital expenditure up to 31.3.2014. The petitioner submitted audited details and an auditor's certificate dated 19.7.2014. The petitioner declared no undischarged liabilities remain (affidavit 28.12.2015). The Commission examined the actual additional capital expenditure: actual additions recorded in the auditor's certificate totalled Rs. 570.81 lakh during 2009–14 (of which Rs. 51.50, 405.59, 44.16 and 69.56 lakh were in 2009-10 through 2012-13). The Commission noted that additional capital expenditure beyond the cut-off date amounted to Rs. 519.31 lakh against Rs. 781.21 lakh admitted earlier. Because the total capital addition was within the original scope and within overall approved capital limits, the Commission allowed the actual additional capital expenditure for revision of tariff under Regulation 6.
  3. Debt:Equity Treatment: The Commission applied Regulation 12 of the 2009 Tariff Regulations. It carried forward the debt:equity ratio admitted as on 31.3.2009 (70.01:29.99) as on 1.4.2009, and treated additional capitalization on a normative 70:30 basis in line with the Regulations. For the 2014–19 period, the debt:equity ratio as on 31.3.2014 (70:30) was used per Regulation 19 of the 2014 Tariff Regulations.
  4. Return on Equity (ROE): The methodology required grossing up the base ROE (15.50%) by the applicable MAT/tax rate (Regulation 15(3)–(5) of 2009 Regulations and Regulations 24–25 of 2014 Regulations). The petitioner provided the MAT/effective tax rates for each year and claimed ROE grossed up accordingly. The petitioner also confirmed that actual equity infused for additional capitalization was not less than 30%. The Commission computed and allowed ROE for each year by grossing up the base rate with the MAT rates applicable for the respective years; the trued up ROE figures were summarised and allowed as claimed by the petitioner (the difference from prior approvals owed to actual MAT rates).
  5. Interest on Loan (IoL): The Commission applied Regulation 16 of the 2009 Regulations for the 2009–14 truing up and Regulation 26 of the 2014 Regulations for 2014–19. IoL was computed using the weighted average rate of interest based on the petitioner’s actual loan portfolio. The Commission accepted the petitioner's weighted average rates (Annexure-1 for 2009–14 and Annexure-2 for 2014–19) and computed IoL accordingly. The Commission followed the earlier holding (order dated 8.6.2011) that changes in floating interest rates would be considered at truing up.
  6. Depreciation: Depreciation was computed using the Straight Line Method and rates as specified in the applicable regulations (Regulation 17 of the 2009 Tariff Regulations for 2009–14 and Regulation 27 of the 2014 Tariff Regulations for 2014–19), using the admitted capital base and accumulated depreciation up to 31.3.2014. The Commission adjusted depreciation to reflect changes in the gross block and remaining depreciable value.
  7. Interest on Working Capital (IWC): IWC was computed as per Regulation 18 of the 2009 Regulations for the 2009–14 truing up and Regulation 28 (with SBI Base Rate + 350 bps) for the 2014–19 period. For 2014–19, the Commission accepted SBI base rate plus 350 bps as on 1.4.2014 (13.50%) and the petitioner’s working capital components to calculate IWC.
  8. Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Expenses: The Commission treated O&M on a normative basis in accordance with Regulation 19 (2009) and Regulation 29 (2014). Normative O&M is not trued up; the Commission computed and allowed O&M as per the prescribed norms for the assets and years in question.
  9. Ancillary Matters: The Commission addressed deferred tax liability (to be dealt with under Regulation 49 of the 2014 Regulations when materialized, and recoverable up to 31.3.2009 from beneficiaries when materialized), filing fees and publication expenses (reimbursable by beneficiaries under Regulation 52(1) of the 2014 Regulations), licence fee and RLDC fees & charges (reimbursable under Regulations 52(2)(b) and 52(2)(a) respectively), and declined to entertain a speculative prayer for future service tax reimbursement as premature.
  10. Final Computations: Following the above methodology, the Commission produced detailed year-wise computations and allowed annual fixed charges (component-wise) for each year of 2009–14 (trued up) and for each year of 2014–19 (determined) as summarised in the order.

Holding and Implications

Holding:

The Commission disposed of Petition No. 357.TT/2014 and allowed the truing up of annual fixed charges for the 2009–14 tariff period and determined the annual fixed charges for the 2014–19 tariff period in accordance with the 2009 and 2014 Tariff Regulations respectively.

The decision's direct effects on the parties (implications):

  • For the 2009–14 tariff period, the Commission accepted the admitted opening capital cost of Rs. 3,834.54 lakh as on 31.3.2009, considered audited actual additional capital expenditure up to 31.3.2014 (total capital cost as on 31.3.2014: Rs. 4,405.35 lakh), applied the normative debt:equity ratios and regulatory methodologies, and allowed the trued up annual fixed charges. The trued up annual transmission charges (total) allowed for 2009–10 through 2013–14 are set out in the order (Rs. 891.45 lakh, 932.95 lakh, 965.59 lakh, 968.14 lakh, 970.56 lakh respectively).
  • For the 2014–19 tariff period, the Commission accepted Rs. 4,405.35 lakh as opening capital cost on 1.4.2014 (no additional capitalization claimed for 2014–19), adopted 70:30 debt:equity, applied the regulatory norms for ROE (grossed up for MAT), IoL (weighted average rate as on 1.4.2014, with floating rates to be adjusted at truing up), depreciation, IWC (13.50%) and normative O&M. The annual transmission charges allowed for 2014–15 through 2018–19 are summarised in the order (Rs. 928.67 lakh, 915.16 lakh, 902.00 lakh, 889.02 lakh, 876.48 lakh respectively).
  • The petitioner is entitled to recover filing fees and publication expenses directly from beneficiaries on a pro rata basis, and is entitled to recover licence fee and RLDC fees & charges for the 2014–19 tariff period as per the 2014 Tariff Regulations.
  • Deferred tax liability up to 31.3.2009 may be recovered by the petitioner from beneficiaries/long-term transmission customers whenever it materializes, following Regulation 49 of the 2014 Tariff Regulations.
  • The Commission considered the petitioner’s prayer for future service tax reimbursement premature and did not grant any substantive relief on that issue at this stage.

Broader implications: The order applies and follows established tariff regulations and prior Commission orders; the opinion does not state that it creates a new precedent beyond its application of the relevant regulatory provisions and the cited prior Commission orders.

    Capital Cost

    9. The petitioner has claimed admitted capital cost of Rs. 3834.54 lakh as on 31.3.2009 for the purpose of tariff determination.

    10. The last proviso to Regulation 7(2) of the 2009 Tariff Regulations provides that:—

    “Provided also that in case of the existing projects, the capital cost admitted by the Commission prior to 1.4.2009 duly trued up by excluding un-discharged liability, if any, as on 1.4.2009 and the additional capital expenditure projected to be incurred for the respective year of the tariff period 2009-14, as may be admitted by the Commission, shall form the basis for determination of tariff”.

    11. The capital cost of Rs. 3834.54 lakh admitted by the Commission as on 31.3.2009 has been considered as opening capital cost as on 1.4.2009 for determination of trued up tariff in accordance with Regulation 7 of the 2009 Tariff Regulations.
