Open Access. DEFINITION OF “OPEN ACCESS” IN THE ELECTRICITY ACT, 2003.
E N D
DEFINITION OF “OPEN ACCESS” IN THE ELECTRICITY ACT, 2003 “The non-discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such lines or system by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the Appropriate Commission”
INTRODUCTION • Open Access is necessary for utilization of short time surpluses. • Open Access will also create options for distribution companies to buy power. • Open Access will provide means to the traders/buyers/sellers. • Non- discriminatory / Transparent Process • Freedom to buy/sell power • Efficient Market Mechanism to address supply / demand mismatches • Encourage investment in Transmission
Legal Framework SECTION 38: (CTU Function) • CTU to provide open access to Licensee or Generating Company on payment of transmission charge • Any consumer when open access is provided by State Commission on payment of surcharge in addition to transmission charges. • Surcharge shall be for meeting cross subsidy, and to be progressively reduced and eliminated. • Surcharge not payable in case of captive generation and Distribution Companies. • CTU can not engage in generation and trading
Legal Framework Sections 39, 40 and 41 • Similar provisions for STU and Transmission Licensee. • STU can not engage in trading. • Transmission Licensee can not engage in trading Section 42 • State Commission to provide Open Access to all consumers who required supply more than 1 MW in 5 years.
Agencies involved in Short-Term Open Access Transaction • RLDC (s) • SLDC (s) • CTU • STU (s) • Buyer • Seller • Trader
CERC Open Access Regulations, 2008 3.Subject to any other regulations specified by the Commission, the long-term customer shall have first priority for using the inter-State transmission system for the designated use. These Regulations shall apply for utilization of surplus capacity available thereafter on the inter-State transmission system by virtue of- (a)Inherent design margins; (b) Margins available due to variations in power flows; (c ) Margins available due to in-built spare transmission capacity created to cater to future load growth or generation addition:
CERC Open Access Regulations, 2008 Effective 01.04.2008 Regulations cover only Short-term Open Access Transactions categorized as Bilateral and Collective (through PX) Earlier Products of Short-Term retained under Bilateral Transactions Nodal Agency Bilateral : RLDCs Collective : NLDC
Both Buyers and Sellers of Collective transactions to bear transmission charges and absorb transmission losses Inter-Regional links -No Separate treatment. Emphasis on “Scheduling” rather than “Reservation” SLDC consent mandated along with application In case of Congestion – e-Bidding without Price Cap Exit Option provided with payment of up to 2 days open access charges. Moving towards empowerment of SLDCs Open Access in ISTS: CERC OA Regulations 2008
Open Access in ISTS Products – Short term Access - Advance - First Come First Serve - Day ahead - Contingency CERC OA Regulations 2008 Long term Access Provisions relating to Long Term as per the Open Access Regulations, 2004 to continue, till CERC further notifies.

Open Access- Way Ahead… Presently CERC has allowed only Day ahead Market At present CERC has allowed only National level operated Power exchanges. In due course if need arises Regional level operated exchanges will come. In power exchanges, as per CERC norms the price discovery is through Double sided closed auction. Collective transaction means a set of transactions discovered in power exchange through anonymous, simultaneous competitive bidding by buyers and sellers For Power Exchange transactions the Nodal agency will be National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC).
