Annual Report 2016-17
Chairperson's Statement
In 2016-17, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) took important
decisions to facilitate power sector reforms in India.
The Commission has always been proactive in facilitating growth of renewable energy
sector and its effective integration into the grid. As an effective measure towards this direction,
an amendment to the Indian Electricity Grid Code has been notified, providing for a technical
minimum schedule at 55% for operation of the Central Generating Station and inter-State
Generating Stations. This also takes care of the interest of the generating stations, as the
amendment provides for compensation for degradation in Station Heat Rate, Auxiliary Energy
consumption and start up fuel cost in case of flexing of unit(s) upto technical minimum.
Ancillary Services are support services to maintain power system reliability and support
its primary function of delivering energy to customers. These are deployed by the system
operator over various time frames to maintain the required instantaneous and continuous
balance between aggregate generation and load. CERC has notified the regulations with the
objective to restore the frequency level at desired level and to relieve congestion in the
transmission network. Specifically, these Regulations are the first step towards introducing
Ancillary Services in the country that will enable the grid operator to ensure reliability and
stability in the grid. The Ancillary Services were operationalized in April, 2016 and by 15 March,
2017, 58 service providers were registered for providing ancillary services.
‘Use of Energy’ and ‘Conservation of Energy’ have always been considered critical to
ensure energy security. Towards this end, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) introduced the
Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme. During this year, CERC, as the market regulator,
took a major initiative for development of market of ESCerts and facilitate its trading / exchange
on Power Exchanges and facilitated operationalizing the mechanism to enhance the cost
effectiveness of improvements in energy efficiency in energy intensive large industries.
The Commission considered it necessary to align the open access to inter-State
Transmission System with the power procurement trend by the State Utilities and current
philosophy in competitive bidding. The Commission amended the relevant Regulations to
address the critical issues pertaining to the dedicated transmission lines and relinquishment
charges for shifting from Medium Term Open Access to Long Term Access by making
appropriate provisions in the Connectivity Regulations.
Given that the variable cost of RE generation is zero, it is treated as must run. Coupled
with this we have the issues of variability and uncertainty to address. Therefore, India needs to
plan ahead more so in the context of the ambitious target of 175 GW of RE capacity. These
challenges warrant a specific energy ‘Storage’ solution to cater to peak demand as well as to
address the variability of intermittent generation. CERC, underlining the importance of this
emerging technology, brought out a Staff Paper on “Introduction of Electricity Storage System
in India”. CERC initiated brainstorming on the subject by placing the paper in public domain
inviting comments from stakeholders. After collating the views, the Commission will decide
3
the future course of action in terms of desirable policy and regulatory interventions.
The challenges being faced by transmission projects under tariff based competitive
bidding route are critical to the transmission sector. Taking specific reference to the standard
bidding guidelines for transmission services notified by the Ministry of Power, Government of
India, the Commission tendered its advice for facilitating smooth and rapid development of
transmission capacity in an efficient and economical manner.
The Ministry of Power has notified the Guidelines on Cross Border Trade of Electricity,
with the objective of facilitating cross border trade of electricity between India and
neighbouring countries. The Commission, in pursuance of facilitating establishment of
transmission link to cater to the cross border trade of electricity, advised the Ministry of
Power, Government of India on the transmission links between the pooling substations upto
the Indian border, which is sensitive in nature and of strategic importance for the country.
The Commission also supported the activities of Forum of Regulators (FOR), the Forum
of Indian Regulators (FOIR) and the South Asia Forum for Infrastructure Regulation (SAFIR) by
providing its resources. The Commission provides secretariat services to Forum of Regulators
(FOR), Forum of Indian Regulators (FOIR) and the South Asia Forum for Infrastructure
Regulation (SAFIR).
The Forum of Regulators (FOR) is a body incorporated under the Electricity Act, 2003
under the Chairmanship of Chairperson, CERC. Chairpersons of SERCs/JERCs are the
members of FOR. The Forum met five times during the year and evolved consensus on many
critical issues. The Forum also carried out a study on “Best Practices and Strategies for
Distribution Loss Reduction” and “Review of Functioning of CGRF & Ombudsman”.
The Technical Committee of Forum of Regulators (FOR) was formed under the
Chairmanship of Member CERC, Shri A.S. Bakshi, comprising of Technical Members of State
Commissions of renewable rich States to facilitate roll-out of Framework on Forecasting,
Scheduling and Deviation Settlement of wind & solar generators in RE rich States. Over the
period, the Committee found that basic building blocks for effective RE integration are relevant
to all States and in that context, the Committee identified the need for implementation of
Scheduling, Accounting, Metering and Settlement of Transactions in Electricity (SAMAST)
framework across all States. To facilitate the States, a model DPR for implementation of
SAMAST was also prepared to seek funds from Power System Development Fund (PSDF).
Model Regulations were brought out for facilitating implementation of State Level Forecasting
& Scheduling Framework. Model Regulations were also brought out for facilitating
implementation of State-level Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM). The Committee scaled
up RPO Web-Tool to develop generic tool to facilitate reporting and compliance monitoring of
State obligated entities.
The Commission looks forward to continued support from all stakeholders in
discharging its responsibilities.

The Commission
1. The Commission
The genesis of independent Regulatory Commissions for the electricity sector can be
traced back to early 1990s, when the National Development Council (NDC) Committee on
Power headed by Shri Sharad Pawar, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra recommended in
1994, constitution of 'independent professional Tariff Boards at the regional level for regulating
the tariff policies of the public and private utilities'. The Committee reiterated that 'the Tariff Boards
will be able to bring along with them a high degree of professionalism in the matter of evolving electricity
tariffs appropriate to each region and each State'.
The need for constituting Regulatory Commissions was further reiterated in the Chief
Minister's Conference held in 1996. The Common Minimum National Action Plan for Power
evolved in the Conference inter-alia agreed that 'reforms and restructuring of the State Electricity
Boards are urgent and must be carried out in definite time frame and identified creation of Regulatory
Commissions as a step in this direction'.
Thus was enacted the Electricity Regulatory Commissions (ERC) Act, 1998 paving the
way for creation of the Regulatory Commissions at the Centre and in the States.
The 1998 Act was enacted with the main objective of distancing Government from tariff
regulation. The Act provided for Electricity Regulatory Commissions at the Center and in the
States for rationalization of electricity tariff, formulation of transparent policies regarding
subsidies etc. Under the provisions of this Act, the Central Government constituted the
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) in July, l998. The ERC Act, 1998 has since
been replaced by the Electricity Act, 2003 and CERC created under the provisions of the ERC
Act, 1998 has been recognized as the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission under the
Electricity Act, 2003.
The Electricity Act, 2003 has significantly enlarged the spectrum of responsibility of
CERC. Under the ERC Act, 1998 only the tariff fixation powers were vested in CERC. The
Electricity Act, 2003 has entrusted on CERC several other responsibilities in addition to the
tariff fixation powers.. These include the powers to grant license for inter-State transmission,
inter-State trading and consequently to amend, suspend and revoke the license, the powers to
regulate the licensees by setting performance standards and ensuring their compliance etc.
The Commission functions in a quasi-judicial manner and has the powers of Civil Courts.
It consists of a Chairperson, three full time Members and the Chairperson of the Central
Electricity Authority (CEA) as Ex-officio Member. In recognition of the need for a multi-
disciplinary approach while addressing issues related to independent regulation, the Act
prescribes that the Chairperson and Members shall be persons having adequate knowledge and
experience in engineering, law, economics, commerce, finance or management. It also
prescribes a broad mix of disciplines to be represented in the Commission. The Chairperson
and Members are appointed by the President of India on the recommendation of a selection
committee constituted by the Central Government as prescribed under the Act. The Act also
provides for the appointment of a Secretary of the Commission whose powers and duties are
defined by the Commission.

SCHEDULE 14 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND NOTES ON ACCOUNTS

i. As per Central Electricity Regulatory Commission Fund (Constitution and the manner of
application, of the Fund) and Form and Time for Preparation of Budget Rules, 2007,

sources as may be decided upon by the Central Government from time to time. The
Fund shall be applied for meeting - (a) the salary, allowances and other remuneration of
the Chairperson, Members, Secretary, Officers and other employees of the Central
Commission; (b) the expenses of the Central Commission in discharge of its functions
under section 79 of the Act; and (c) the expenses on objects and for purposes authorised
by the Act. The Central Commission shall seek release of amount from the Fund against
its annual budget for meeting its establishment related and other expenses.
ii. MoP treated the amount released from CERC Fund maintained under Public Account of
India as ‘Grant-in-Aid’. The matter was taken up from time to time from November 2011
to February 2013 with the Ministry of Power for treating withdrawal from the CERC
Fund in similar lines to that of SEBI based on the opinion of Sh. Soli J. Sorabjee, former
Attorney General of India and again from July 2013 to April 2014 for allowing CERC for
retention of fees received in CERC upto the extent of its budgeted expenditure.
However, the proposal was not agreed to by the Ministry. The Ministry of Power in
consultation with the Ministry of Finance decided (September 2015) that release from the
CERC Fund would be treated as Grant-in-Aid. Accordingly, from 2015-16, entire
expenditure of the CERC is met from the 'Grant-in aid' released from the CERC Fund on
accrual basis.
iii. According to CERC Fund Rules, a CERC Fund account has been opened under the Public
Account of India, which is a non-lapsable and non-interest bearing account. During 2016-
17, a sum of ` 12529 lakh (Previous year ` 10463 lakh) have been deposited in the CERC
Fund and during the same period MoP released an amount of ` 4472 lakh (Previous year

previous year) were released (Previous year ` 3496 lakh) from the CERC Fund for
meeting the expenditure of the Commission. Unspent balance of ` 1485 lakh at the end of
the Current year (Previous year ` 1078 lakh) has been transferred back to CERC Fund.

(Previous Year ` 1290 lakh) is contested by the parties in various courts of Law and not
deposited by them in CERC. Remaining amount of ` 492 lakh (Previous Year ` 488 lakh), has
been received in CERC. Out of the received amount, ` 358 lakh (Previous year ` 356 lakh) is
under contest in various courts of law and has been disclosed as the Current Liability. This
also includes ` 1 lakh (Previous year ` 1 lakh) refundable based on the order of the CERC.
The amount received but contested has been kept under a short term fixed deposit in the
233
bank and shall be deposited in the CERC Fund (maintained under Public Account of India) or
refunded to the party, as the case may be, based on the outcome of the court cases.
Remaining ` 134 lakh which is undisputed has been transferred to CERC Fund (Current year
` 2 lakh (net) and up to Previous years ` 132 lakh). This is in line with the approval of the
Ministry of Power. As per the directions from the office of the Comptroller and Auditor
General of India, interest 'received' and 'accrued but not received' on the fixed deposits made
out of the disputed amount penalty is accounted for under the Other Current Liabilities.
There is no impact on the Income and Expenditure Account on this account.
6. CURRENT ASSETS, LOANS AND ADVANCES
i. In the opinion of the Management, the Current Assets, Loans and Advances have a value
on realization in the ordinary course of business, equal at least to the aggregate amount
shown in the Balance Sheet.
ii. During the year 2010-11, Demand Drafts amounting to ` 16,91,875/- were lost from the
Registry of Commission and encashed fraudulently by an employee of CERC. FIR was
lodged with the Police Authority and the matter is under investigation at their end.
Departmental enquiry against the concerned individual was finalized in March 2013 and
the errant employee has been dismissed. The matter is under investigation in the court of
law and pending the outcome of the police investigation, neither the amount was booked
as income nor the Provision for loss (stolen demand drafts) was made in the Books of
Account.
7. TAXATION
As per section 10(23)(BBG) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the Income of the Commission is
exempted from the Income Tax.
8. INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT
Upto 2014-15, the Income in the Income and Expenditure Account was recognised to the
extent of the amount actually paid by the CERC. However, on being pointed by the office of
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, the Accounting Policy has been changed and
Grants-in-aid received from the Government of India to the extent of the expenditure
incurred on accrual basis has been treated as Income. Consequently, entire expenditure of
is met from the Grant in aid sanctioned by the Ministry and surplus grant has been carried
forwarded to the next year. As long as the expenditure for the year on accrual basis is less
that the grant sanctioned by the Ministry, there would not be any excess of expenditure over
Income as excess grants over carried forwarded to next year.
234
9. PROVISION FOR DUES
The Annual Accounts are based on accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, the provisions
for outstanding dues, statutory liabilities such as Gratuity, Leave Salary & Pension
Contribution, CPF/EPF Matching Contributions, Audit Fees, etc. have been made and
reflected in the Accounts.
10. INVENTORIES
Inventory of Compendium of Regulations was not being accounted for upto previous year.
As advised by the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, this has been
accounted for from the current year. Due to change in Accounting Policy, Inventory has
increased by Rs. four lakh with consequential impact of same amount on Income and
Expenditure Account for the year.
11. Schedules 1 to 14 form an integral part of the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2017 and the
Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended on that date.
12. Previous year figures have been regrouped wherever necessary.
