Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC) Component of Z-factor Charge

The Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC) component of the Z-factor Charge will be determined
in accordance with the formula specified in the relevant Multi Year Tariff Regulations and
any directions that may be given by the Commission from time to time, and will be
applicable to all consumer categories for their entire consumption.

In case of any variation in the fuel prices and power purchase prices, the Distribution
Licensee shall pass on the adjustments through the FAC component of the Z-factor Charge
accordingly.

The details of the applicable ZFAC for each month shall be available on the Distribution
Licensee’s website www.adanielectricity.com

Electricity Duty and Tax on Sale of Electricity

shall be provided on the Distribution Licensee’s website www.adanielectricity.com

Power Factor Computation

Where the average Power Factor measurement is not possible through the installed meter,
the following formula for calculating the average Power Factor during the billing period
shall be applied:

Total (kWh)
Average Power Factor =
Total (kVAh)

Wherein the kVAh is = √∑(KWh)2 + ∑(RkVAh Lag + RkVAh Lead )2

Further, average PF so computed can be considered as leading or lagging based on the

following test:

If “RkVAh lead” > “RkVAh lag” then “Average P.F.” is to be treated as “Lead P.F.”

Page 472 of 478

Case No.231 of 2022 MERC MTR Order for AEML-D for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25

If “RkVAh lead” = < “RkVAh lag” then “Average P.F.” is to be treated as “Lag
P.F.”

Rate of Interest on Arrears

Page 474 of 478

Case No.231 of 2022 MERC MTR Order for AEML-D for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25

The rate of interest chargeable on the arrears of payment of billed dues shall be as given
below:
Sr. No. Delay in Payment (months) Interest Rate per
annum (%)
1 Payment made after 60 days and before 90 days from the date of 12%
billing
2 Payment made after 90 days from the date of billing 15%

Rebate for consumers with Prepaid connections

Consumers with prepaid metered connections shall be entitled for rebate of 2% in the
Energy Charge Rate (incl FAC) applicable for the consumer category.

Load Factor Incentive

Consumers having Load Factor above 75% and upto 85% will be entitled to an incentive in
the form of a rebate of 0.75% on the Energy Charges for every percentage point increase in
Load Factor from 75% to 85%. Consumers having a Load Factor above 85 % will be
entitled to a rebate of 1% on the Energy Charges for every percentage point increase in
Load Factor from 85%. The total rebate will be subject to a ceiling of 15% of the Energy
Charges applicable to the consumer.

This incentive is applicable only to consumers in the Tariff categories EHT I and HT I:
Industry, EHT II and HT II: Commercial and EHT V and HT V: Public Services - (A) and
(B) only.

The Load Factor incentive will be available only if the consumer has no arrears with the
Distribution Licensee, and payment is made within seven days from the date of the
electricity bill. However, it will be available to consumers in whose case payment of arrears
in instalments has been allowed by the Distribution Licensee, and such payment is being
made as scheduled. The Distribution Licensee shall take a commercial decision on the
schedule for such payments.

The Load Factor is to be computed as follows:

Load Factor = ______Consumption during the month in MU__________

Maximum Consumption possible during the month in MU

Maximum consumption possible = Contract Demand (kVA) × Unity Power Factor

× (Total no. of hours during the month, less actual interruptions hours recorded on meter
for billing period)
Page 475 of 478
Case No.231 of 2022 MERC MTR Order for AEML-D for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25

In case the consumer exceeds its Contract Demand (including during the non-peak hours,
i.e., 22:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs.) in any particular month, the Load Factor Incentive will not be
payable to the consumer in that month.

Penalty for exceeding Contract Demand

In case a consumer (availing Demand-based Tariff) exceeds his Contract Demand, he will
be billed at the applicable Demand Charge rate for the Demand actually recorded, and also
be charged an additional amount at the rate of 150% of the applicable Demand Charge (only
for the Demand in excess of the Contract Demand).

Under these circumstances, the consumer shall not be liable for any other action under
Section 126 of the EA, 2003, since the penal additional Demand Charge provides for the
penalty that the consumer is liable to pay for exceeding his Contract Demand. In case a
consumer exceeds his Contract Demand on more than three occasions in a calendar year,
the action to be taken would be governed by the provisions of the Supply Code Regulations.

Additional Demand Charges for Consumers having Captive Power Plant

For consumers having a Captive Power Plant, additional Demand Charges at the rate of Rs.
20/kVA/month shall be payable only on the extent of the Stand-by demand component and
not on the entire Contract Demand. The additional Demand Charges will be levied on the
Stand-by component only if the consumer’s demand exceeds his Contract Demand.

Consumers’ Security Deposit

As specified under Regulations 13 of the MERC (Supply Code Electricity Supply Code and
Standards of Performance of Distribution Licensees including Power Quality) Regulations,
2021, Consumer shall pay Security Deposit and will be entitle for interest on such Security
Deposit.

Definitions

Maximum Demand:

Maximum Demand in kilo-Watts or kilo-Volt Amperes, in relation to any period shall,

unless otherwise provided in any general or specific Order of the Commission, mean twice
the highest number of kilo-watt-hours or kilo-Volt Ampere hours supplied and taken during
any consecutive thirty-minute blocks in that period.

Contract Demand:

Contract Demand means the demand in kilo-Watt (kW) or kilo–Volt Amperes (kVA),
mutually agreed between the Distribution Licensee and the consumer as entered into in the
agreement or agreed through other written communication. (For conversion of kW into
kVA, the Power Factor of 0.80 shall be applied.)

Sanctioned Load:

Sanctioned Load means the load in kW mutually agreed between the Distribution Licensee
and the consumer.

Billing Demand - LT Tariff categories:

Monthly Billing Demand will be the higher of the following:

a) 65% of the actual Maximum Demand recorded in the month during 0600 hours to
2200 hours;
b) 40% of the Contract Demand.

Note:
• Only the Demand registered during the period 0600 to 2200 Hrs. will be considered
for determination of the Billing Demand.
• In case of a change in Contract Demand, the above period will be reckoned from
the month following the month in which the change in Contract Demand is effected.

Billing Demand - HT Tariff categories:

Monthly Billing Demand will be the higher of the following:
