Asset - V is anticipated to be put under commercial operation w.e.f. 25.07.2014 , with a delay in commissioning of about 7 months.

Reasons for Delav:

For Asset I

As per investment approval for the transmission system associated with Orissa Part- B, accorded on 15 December, 2010, Commissioning of ICT at Jabalpur pooling station was scheduled to be completed in 36 months i.e by Dec, 13. Delay of 3 months is mainly due to following reasons.

1) lCTs were dispatched in the month of Aug. 2013 from Vadodara.

2) As per directive of Ministry of Road transport & Highways, survey of several structures like bridges, tunnels etc. on national Highway was going on to ascertain load carrying capacity. Consignments with heavy loads were with held mid way till completion of the survey.

3) Authorities refused to allow the movement of consignment (ICTs) via Karjan, therefore the bank had to be diverted to an alternate route via Vadodara- Dahod-J habua-lndore-Bhopal-Jabalpur.

4) After considerable travel on this route i.e up to Dahod, it was learnt that the road ahead has got damaged due to heavy rain. Hence, in the month of Oct'13, ICT bank again came back to the works in Vadodara.

5) Meanwhile, clearance for the movement of heavy vehicle wass granted by Ministry on 30th Sept. 201 3 vide letter ref No.RT-11042/13/2008-MVL (Copy enclosed at Encl.-7 alongwith other delay documentation) and the consignment moved again via Vadodara-Karjan-Ankaleshwar-Sagbara- Nagpur-Seoni-Jabalpur route to reach Jabalpur finally in March 2014.

For Asset II

As per investment approval for the transmission system associated with Orissa Part-B, accorded on 15 December, 2010, Commissioning of Line . . reactors along with 765 kV Dharamjaygarh - Jabalpur scheduled by Dec. 2013.Commissioning of line delayed

13

a.-

of forest proposal. hence, the line reactors have been commissioned as bus reactors as interim contingency arrangement.

To maintain the voltage profile at Jabalpur PS, Line reactor for Jabalpur- Dharamjaigarh at Jabalpur has been charged as Bus reactor as per the in- principle approval from CEA for commissioning of 765 kV, 240 MVAR Line Reactors as Bus Reactor in Western Region. Copy of in-principle approval is enclosed as Encl.-6, page.%?..to page+.G. ..

For Assets Ill & IV

Dharamjaigarh SIS (near Korba) is a Green-field SIS. The above system could have been charged only when atleast one energisation source was available for its charging.

At the above SIS, the option for voltage source were either through LILO of 765kV Ranchi-Sipat TIL under DVC, or 765kV DIC Jharsuguda- Dharamjaigarh TIL or 765kV Dharamjaigarh-Jabalpur TIL.

However all the above transmission lines (including 765 kV Ranchi-Sipat SIC under DVC IRB project) were passing through considerable forest area and the first line to be energized was 765kV SIC Ranchi Sipat only on 31.03.2014. /

element, namely I-ILO of 765kV Ranch-Sipat l-L and 765kV Bus Reactor also got charged on 31.03.2014, and taken under regular operation w.e.f. 01.04.2014.

As such the charging of the subject asset before 31.03.2014 was beyond the control of Petitioner. The copy of DOCO of 765kV Ranchi-Sipat line, under DVC IRB Project is attached, as a reference please.

In addition to above explanation, delay of 17 days in the commissioning of the Asset-/V is mainly due to phased manner charging of various elements one by one, as the charging of all elements in one go is normally to be avoided and the Reactor was taken into service once the system got established after charging of previous elements.

For Asset V

The Transmission Line got delayed in commissioning by about 07 Months from scheduled completion as per lnvestment approval and it is expected to be ready for commissioning by 25th Jul 2014. There are two major factors for delay in commissioning of this Transmission line, as explained below:

1. Rerouting due to encountering of Coal Blocks:

Immediately after lnvestment approval contract was awarded for construction of this Transmission Line within a month's time i.e. on 18.01.201 1 and construction activities were taken on top priority on most feasible route.

However, during construction phase, ministry of Coal intimated e instant line under consideration was passing through Gare Palma

W*- *

required to be rerouted. A first communication in this regard received from Secretary Coal dated 08.05.2012 is attached alongwith other communications regarding Approval for Forest Clearance.

Subsequently a detailed exercise with Coal Ministry1 CNIPDII with help of CEA was carried out. After various rounds of discussion and survey and field inspection another route was finalized in association with Coal ministry ICMPDllCEA.

Accordingly, in Aug 2012, in principle decision for alternate route was worked out and a letter from Chairman, CEA written to Secretary, Coal ministry dated 30.08.2012 is attached for ready reference alongwith delay documentation.

2. Forest Approval for Ministry of Environment and Forest

After change of route to avoid the coal blockslforest areas, the detailed survey of forest was again carried out and forest proposal was prepared with following major milestones:

Keeping in view the above explanation, since the delay in commissioning of the Assets was beyond the control of the Petitioner, Hon'ble Commission may kindly condone the delay.

7.0 Completion Cost:

7.1 That the application for determination of tariff is filed in line with provision 7 (2) of Tariff Regulation, 2014 applicable for 2014- 19 period. Further, that the present petition covers approval of tariff based on actual/ estimated expenditure incurred up to DOCO and additional capitalization projected to be incurred from DOCO to 31.03.2016 in respect of the subject asset as per detail given below.

a) Variation in Tower unit Weiqht after detailed Design w.r.t to FR: 765kV DIC being first time introduced; during FR, the 765 kV DIC towers were under development stage and tower design of the 765kV DIC were not available during FR Stage and a tentative approximate weight was considered during FR preparation, However there are variations in Tower weight considered in FR w.r.t. Actual weight coming after detailed design1 tower testing especially in Angle towers 1 extension.

iii) To avoid the habitation areas / new developments / str~~ctures and increased Power line crossings.

(2) Total quantity of Conductor (ACSR Zebra) decreased by 499.5 kms due to reduction in line length. However, the positive side variation in cost is mainly on following accounts.

a) During the implementation stage Entry tax in Chhattisgarh State got increased 1% to 5% by C.G. Government.

b) As per rates obtained in award / LOA rates / PV, etc.

(3) Due to increase in the nos. of angle towers, quantity of insulators got increased by 27030nos. (160KN and 210KN both considered).due to this basic cost of insulator increased.

Accordingly, the positive side variation in cost is mainly due to LOA rates and increase in total qty. of insulators.

Further, cost increased due to inclusion of 35% Safeguard duty by Government of India.

(4) Due to increase in Angle Tower nos. required Hardware fittings also got increased. Thus cost of hardware fittings increased. Further, awarded LoA rates for Hardware fittings is more than that in FR.

On account of above explained reasons, higher rates received in competitive bidding ,PV and Taxes etc .the overall cost under this head got increased.

It is submitted that most of the assets covered under the project are yet to be commissioned. The comparison of actual cost with the approved cost of the project is to be seen in totality for the project as whole and not separately for each element. Therefore, the Hon'ble Commission may kindly approve the capital cost of the elements covered under instant petition & allow following tariff as claimed.

The details of underlying assumptions for additional capitalization for this asset are summarized below:

The admissibility of additional capital expenditure (Add. Cap.) incurred after DOCO is to be dealt in accordance with the provisions of Regulation: 14, the extract of Regulation: 14 of the Regulations, 2014 is reproduced as under:

"Additional Capitalization"

(1) The capital expenditure incurred or projected to be incurred, on the following co~lnts within the original scope of work, after the date of commercial operation and upto the cut-off Commission, subject to prudence check:

Sir,

Minutes of the meeting for the Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning in Eastern Region held on 14-09-09 at Bhubaneswar are available on the CEA website: www.cea.nic.in. (path to access- Wings oj' CEAIPower Systelns/Standing Coliz171itt ee on Power Systern Planning/EASTERN REGION).

I Yours faithfully,

(Dr. R. Saha) Director (SP& PA)

as

Ind-Barath (700 MW) : Ind-Barath - Jharsuguda Pool 400KV D/C line with associated line bays

M (PS) stated that in view of the possibility of the IPP generations being stranded

on account of delay in implementation of ATS, LlLO of one circuit of 400kV

Rourkella- Raigarh D/C line at Sterlite and LlLO of the other circuit at Ind-Barath

would be made as temporary arrangement to avoid such situation. These LlLO

would be removed when the project specific transmission system as decided

would be in place.

In respect of Sterlite project, M(PS) stated that out of the total installed capacity of

2400MW , the generation developer sought LTA for only 400MW, 600 MW share

for Orissa, about 1000MW would be utilized for meeting its own typical captive

load and there was no strategy indicated for utilization of balanced 400MW. In

view of the plant to be connected to the grid, grid security and stability could be a

concern. M (PS) stated that the generation developer would be required to carry

out detailed exercise about typicai cnaracterisiics oi iheir ioad and derive the pian

for entire utilization of Plant capacity. In this context, M(PS) stated that the

generation developer should submit its switchyard drawirlgs, load characteristics

etc. to CEA/PGCIL for study and analysis

B. ATS upto Pooling Station at Angul (under the scope of Generation Developer)

Jindal Thermal (1200 MW) Jindal - Angul Pool 400KV Dlc line with associated line bays

Monnet (1 050 MW) Monet - Angul Pool 400KV Dlc line with associated line bays

GMR (1050 MW) GMR - Angul Pool 400KV D/c line with associated line bays

Lanco Babandh(2640 MW] Lanco Babandh - Angul Pool 400KV 2xDIC line along with 3x1 SOOMVA 7651400kV lCTs at Angul

Navbharat Ph-l(1050 MW) Navbharat - Angul Pool 400KV Dlc line with asscciated line bays.

C. Common System Strengthening Scheme

M(PS) stated that the system strengthening r facilitate transfer of power

from Phase-l generation projects of lPPs in Or W R were earlier firmed-up

and the same was further tuned after revi e m scenarios of IPPs.

Accordingly, the transmission requirements within and across the Eastern, Northern, and

Western Regions, which were already discussed and agreed in the 271h SCM of NR held

on May and 291h SCM held on 10-09-09 of WR, were the following.

(a) ER:

Establishment of 2x1 500 MVA, 7651400kV Pooling Station at Jharsuguda

Establishment of 4x1 500MVA, 7651400kV Pooling Station at Angul

Angul Pooling Station - Jharsuguda Pooling Station 765kV 2xSIc

LlLO of Rourkela - Raigarh 400kV Dlc at Jharsuguda Pooling station

*LILO of Meramundali - Jeypore 400kV SIC line at Angul pooling station

'LILO of one ckt of Talcher - Meramundali 400kV Dlc line at Angul pooling station

[ These LlLO would be later disconnected when Angul pooling station is developed as 765kV as otherwise it would cause short circuit level problem.]

(b) ER-WR:

Estabiishment of 765kV substation at Dharamjaygarh

Establishment of 2x1 500 MVA, 7651400kV Jabalpur Pooling Station l Jharsuguda Pooling Station - Dharamjaygarh (WR) 765kV Dlc

..

LlLO of Ranchi - WR Pooling (near Sipat) 765kV SIC line at Dharamjaygarh

Dharamjaygarh - Jabalpur Pooling Station 765kV Dlc line I Jabalpur Pooling Station - Jabalpur 400 kV DIC (high capacity)

(C) WR-NR:

Establishment of 2x1 500MVA, 7651400kV Bhopal Pooling Station

Jabalpur Pool Pooling Station - Bina 765kV Dlc line

Bina - Gwalior 765kV SIC (3rd circuit)

Jabalpur Pool Pooling Station - Bhopal - lndore 765kV SIC (proposed to be under Pvt.

Sector)

Bhopal New substation - Bhopal (M.P.) 400kV DIC (high capacity)

Gwalior - Jaipur 765kV $/c line

Jaipur - Bhiwani 765kV SIC line

The charges of the above system strengthening ation and transfer of

power from the above lPPs in Orissa to ions would be borne

initially by the generation developers. Once the gener identified the long

term beneficiaries for their generation projects, be borne by the

beneficiary state transmission utilities.

The voltage profile shows that at Jabalpur voltage aljove 800 kV has prevailed for about 14% of the time during the period 1.02.2014 to i 5 02.2014, at Gv~alior voltage above 800 kV has prevailed for about 6% of the time during the pkriod 01 01,2014. to 15.02 2014 and at Aurangabad voltage above 420 k 'J has prevailed for- about 13% of the time during the period 18.01.2014 to 17 02.20'4

Similarly, the maximum voltage of 815 kV and minimum voltage of 737 kV has been observed at Wardha 765 kV bus during the period 01.l1.20?3 to 11.02.2014.

Commissioning of line reactors into bus reactors as proposecj above would help in controlling the high voltages being observed at Jabalpur. Gwalior. VVardha and Aurangabad. Therefore the propcsal of commissioning of line reactors as bus reactor till :he associated !Ines are commissioned is agreed in principle. The line reactors commissioned as bus reactors should be restored as line reactors along with the conimissicniny of the associated iines.

'The proposal would be formalized in Ihe next WR Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning.

K~ndlly intimate us, as and when, the above line reactor-s are commissioned as ijus reactors and subseq~.~ently restored back as line reactors.

Reasons for Delay

Proiect Details Prior approval of Government under section 68 of Indian Electricity Act, 2003: Dated 15.02.2010

Date of Investment approval : 15.12.2010 Schedule completion : 14.12.2013 Expected Completion : 25.07.2014

' Expected Delay : About 7 Months

Reasons o f Dela-vs: The Transmission Line got delayed in commissioning by about 07 Months from scheduled completion as per Investment approval and it is expected to be ready for commissioning by 25th Jul 2014. There are two major factors for delay in commissioning of this Transmission line, being explained below

1. Rerouting due to encountering of Coal Blocks:

Immediately after Investment approval contract was awarded for construction of this Transmission Line within a month's time i.e. on 18.01.2011 and construction activities were taken on top priority on most feasible route, with advance action taken for forest proposal.

However, during construction phase, ministry of Coal intimated that the instant line under consideration was passing through Care Palma Coal block and was required to be rerouted. A first communication in this regard received from Secretary Coal dated 08.05.2012 is attached alongwith other communications regarding Approval for Forest Clearance.

Subsequently a detailed exercise with Coal Ministry/ CMPDI/ with help of CEA was carried out. After various rounds of discussion and survey and field inspection another route was finalized in association with Coal ministry /CMPDI/CEA.

Accordingly, in Aug 2012, in principle decision for alternate route was worked out and a letter from Chairman, CEA written to Secretary, Coal ministry dated 30.08.2012 is attached for ready reference alongwith delay documentation.

2. Forest Approval for Ministry of Environment and Forest

After change of route to avoid the coal blocks/forest areas, the detailed survey offores t was again carried out and forest proposal was prepared with following major milestones:

J Finalization of diverted Route with resurvey J Forest Involvement J Forest Range involved (03 Nos.) J Proposal Submitted by POWERGRID to DFO: J Forest proposal forwarded to CF, Bilaspur J Stage-I Approval by MoEF J Demand note received from DFO, Raigarh J Stage I compliance submitted to DFO, Raigarh J Stage -11 approval J Final Approval from State Govt J Forest Area Tree Cutting Permission by Forest

CHAIRPERSON & EX-OFPICIO SECRETARY rb THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

CENTRAL ELECTR!C!N AUTHQRllY SEWA BHAWhN, R. K. PURAM

I invite your kind attention to the di..;cussic.ns WC? had cm August 2B, 2012 in regard to rerouting of 765 kV Jharsugl~da - Dl'iaramjaygarh Trantimissian Line of POWERGRID, for which a reference had been received by Secretary (Power) from Ministry of Coai vide D.O, ieHer no.430i2/8i2008-2PAiL? dated 8Ih MW, 2012.

As we have informed, the said Jharsuy uda --Dharamjaygarh Transmission line is very critical element of the Transmission System for evacuating appr3ximatety 10,000 MW of power from upcoming lPPs in the state of Odisha, which are likely to be operational within the next 1-2 years, ARcil. perniission from various authorities, lhe construction of transmission line started mo'a that) a year back. Subsequently, it was observed that a particular stretch of the transmis:.,ion lirie was passirlg through Gare- Palma Coal bloc'c. In this respect, the refereice from ycrur offix, as aforesaid suggesting rerouting to avoid the coal block was al:;o recolved.

Accordingly, the matter has been e x i ~ ~ i n e c : by POWEFlGRlD and an extensive exercise has been carried out for possible r!!terna ive routes along wi:h CMPDl and a11 affected coal companies including M/s IJlaFa Ta nil Cctllieriee Ltd. After a series of meetings and deliberations with CMPOl and affectc?d coal companies, revised route (2 X

765 kV DIC Transmission Line), avoiding Gare Palma Coat 13lock and other identifiedlexisting coal block has been fitialized. 4 wpy of the map depicting old and revised route is enclosed.

Although the revised route mlecils some additional forest stretches, POWERGRID is willing to go ahead wkh the implementation of the line through the revised route to avoid further delay in evaccrition 1-1f power from various upcomir~g lPPs in the state of Odisha.

I thank you very rntrch for in-prirlci~la cle:~rance for rerouting the transmisekn lines (2 X 765 kV D/C) depicted as Alternative-l, I have advised POWE,RGI-IID to go ahead with the construction of the transmission line along the revlsed route to avoid further delay, However, as discussed during the neeting, in case a need arises due to future coal blocks, dkrersion of line for a given stretch can always be taken up by relocating a few towers at a later date.

In view of the above, I request your P~rrnai c Jearance for the re~ised route.

Yours sincerely,
