OPEN ACCESS IN TRANSMISSION
HVPNL, vide its Notification dated 5 May 2006, has issued guidelines for
implementation of short-term Open Access within the State of Haryana. This will be
an enabler for the captive users having demand of 1 MW and above to source their
own power through the grid by using the network of HVPNL, which shall act as the
nodal agency for short-term Open Access transactions. No parallel operation
charges/grid support charges are to be levied on captive generators. The Open Access
charges set for use of transmission network have been worked out as Rs 0.14 per kWh
plus a transmission loss of 4.5 per cent. Reactive Energy charges are placed at 5
paise/kWh in case the Open Access consumer undertakes actual drawl of reactive
power. For captive generators, there is no cross-subsidy surcharge. For other
consumers, HERC will determine cross-subsidy surcharge for distribution network
under Open Access.
