• 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

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:

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).
![Page 51: Open Access. DEFINITION OF “OPEN ACCESS” IN THE ELECTRICITY ACT, 2003 “The non-discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e965503460f94b99f0d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Open Access- Way Ahead…• The ATC declaration is to be done by NLDC on its web
site every day.
• Depending on the corridor availabilities the solution is to be found out and the allowed trades will be intimated to NLDC.
• If there is no congestion NLDC will accept the trades and issue the schedules to the power exchange and the same will be implemented in RLDC schedules.
• In Power Exchange transactions both buyer and seller have to pay the Transmission and operating charges separately.
• The transmission losses also have to be borne by the buyer and seller separately.
