Tariffs and determinations

A tariff is determined only where a tariff falls to be determined. Where two parties may contract at a price of their own agreement, the Authority stays out of it.

Kind of supplyWho sets the priceProcedure
Bilateral supply to a bulk power consumerThe parties, by contractFiled in Form M-1. No petition, no hearing, no determination.
Supply to a consumer below the thresholdThe Authority, under section 19Tariff petition, public notice, hearing, reasoned determination.
Microgrid consumer tariffThe Authority, after public hearingBecause these consumers have no alternative supplier.
Use of system chargesThe network licensee, on a published methodologyFiled with the Authority. A user may object and the Authority may direct revision.

How a tariff petition is decided

01

Petition

Filed with the petition fee and the supporting financial model.

02

Notice

Published on this website, with the period for intervention.

03

Hearing

In public. Consumers and interveners are heard, free of charge.

04

Determination

In writing with reasons, published with the tariff.

Review

A person aggrieved by a determination may seek a review. Every determination states that a review may be sought and the period within which it must be filed. The petition fee for a review is Rs 100,000; a consumer complaint carries no fee at any stage.

Where no wires reach

A settlement with no supply, or a few hours of it, can be served by one operator under a single microgrid licence. Because these households have nowhere else to buy, the Authority sets the tariff after a public hearing, and the operator must connect anyone in the area who asks.

Every determination is published within seven days of the decision, alongside the instrument to which it relates, and remains available afterwards. Where a reason would disclose a commercial term of a contract it is recorded separately and is not published, and the fact of the separate record is stated.
