The actuals
for May & June 2000 is also indicated in Statement II. AS there
has been import of 22.889 Mu in May 2000 and 4.179 Mu in June
2000 from Northern Region, the fuel cost element of the same
amounting to Rs.1.354 crores in May 2000 and Rs.0.206 crores
in June 2000 is considered in the actual tual expenditure for
May & June 2000. However, import from Northern Region is not
anticipated in the remaining per i ord of the year.

The overall
actual expenditure on fuel and variable fuel cost element of
purchase of power in May & June 2000 together is slightly higher
than the cost at the rates adpopted by MERC for tariff determination
(Statement II-A).

However,
the thermal generation cost of the MSEB has been lower than
the rate approved by the Commission. The actual heat value /
kwh generation has also been lesser. This has resulted in marginal
excess recovery in May & June 2000 through tariff. (Statement
II A)
|
| 5 |
The excess
/ short recovery in May & June 2000 is adjusted at Sr.No.VI
in Statement II to arrive at the total estimated fuel cost recoverable
by way of FCA during the remaining period of the year i.e. July
2000-March 2001. Similar procedure will be continued in the
subsequent months for estimation of FCA rate by considering
the cumulative excess short recovery till the preceding month.
|
| 6 |
The estimation
of FCA for the remaining period of the year will be worked out
on the above basis considering the actuals upto the preceding
month-/ quarter (as-may,-Wa----approved by MERC) and by adjusting
the cumulative excess short recovery t,ill that period in the
estimated fuel cost recoverable. |
| 7 |
At present,
only the metered consumption has been considered for computing
the FCA rate. MSEB recommends that the existing procedure of
distributing the incremental fuel cost to be recovered on metered
consumption, may be continued. |
| 8 |
The per
unit fuel cost to be recovered is indicated at Sr. No. IX in
statement No. 11. The FCA rate so computed will be applicable
in the succeeding month and if there is no change, in the period
thereafter also. |
| 9 |
The FCA
rate for July 2000 March 2001 as computed at Sr. No. IX in Statement
II is 0.88 p/u. This is on account of the reduction in the fuel
costs of MSEB which-has result- ed in excess recovery through
tariff during may & June 2000 as indicated at Sr. No. VI of
Statement II and as indicated at (4) above. |

The basic
fuel rate adopted for tariff determination is the average rate
anticipated for the year 2000-2001 and as the |
