Profile of GESCOM Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company (GESCOM) came into existence on June 1, 2002. Its area of operation covers six districts Viz., Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bidar, Raichur, Bellary and Koppal. The registered office of the Company is located at Gulbarga. The hot and dry tropical climate of the area has primarily an agro – based economy and is economically and educationally lesser developed as compared to other parts of Karnataka. The fact that three rivers (Tungabhadra, Bheema, and Krishna) flowing through this region, provide little respite to the farmer’s dependence on rain. Dams constructed across Tungabhadra River in Bellary and Krishna River in Gulbarga district have obviated this dependence to certain extent. Yet bore wells and open wells run dry during summer. The primary crops cultivated in this area are Paddy, Sugarcane, Pulses, Jawar, Cotton & etc. Industries and Power Generation 9 ERC For FY-11to FY13 The prestigious Raichur Thermal Power Station (RTPS), Bellary Thermal Power Station (BTPS) and the Hydel Power Generation unit at Munirabad which are owned by KPCL and also number of Independent Power Producing units are located in the GESCOM area. However, lack of proper infrastructure facilities has led to the region being starved of industrial growth. The industrial scenario is dotted by small and big Steel & Cement, Dal, Sugar and Edible Oil Industries. Distribution Network The following statistics provide a brief overview on some of GESCOM's distribution assets. As on 31.03.2010, the distribution network of the Company comprises 110 stations of 33/11 KV, 2468.93 kms of 33 KV line, 34507.78 kms 11 kv line, 73544.48 kms of LT line and 46472 number of distribution transformer centers. Human Resource As on 31.03.2010, the total working strength of GESCOM is 5120 against the sanctioned posts of 8324. The Company resorts to outsourcing the very needy & critical services, to tide over the shortage of manpower and to provide better service to the consumers. The study of the man power requirement based on the existing job analysis is under way. Emphasis is given on training of the employees on various subjects and fields in order to meet the challenges before it effectively. Customer Service Customer service has been improved in the area of billing significantly after the computerization of the billing system in all the sub-divisions. Owing to addition of 9 new stations up to March2010, it has enabled the Company to provide quality and reliable power supply to the customers with minimal interruptions. A centralized Customer Care Centre has formed and functioning at Corporate Office Gulbarga from 14-04-2010. Commercial Efficiency GESCOM has been using the media effectively to bring awareness among the consumers on the Anti Theft Law. This is aimed at improving the revenue by decreasing theft of energy. Other initiatives like effective implementation of the Anti Theft Law, replacing of MNR meters, regularization of unauthorized connections, mass disconnection drive etc., are also underway. 2.1 Mission Statement of GESCOM 10 ERC For FY-11to FY13 The company intends to face the challenges ahead by imbibing and accomplishing the company’s mission statement, which proclaims: “The mission of the GESCOM is to ensure reliable quality power to its customers at competitive prices. The GESCOM is committed to achieve this mission through: • Encouraging best practices in distribution, • Encouraging high order maintenance of its technical facility. • Emphasizing the best standards in customer service and • Optimizing its human and technical resources for the benefit of all its customers”. 3.0 Rationale for ERC Filing GESCOM is filing this ARR & ERC under MYT principles for FY-11 to FY-13 with the following imperatives: 3.1 Revenue insufficient to Cover Costs in FY-11 to FY-13 Based on the 2009 tariff order and subsequent amendments, GESCOM is unable to meet its current costs as there is a deficit of Rs -27.91 Cr in FY-10. Further the dificit from its revenue for FY-11 to FY-13 is as indicted in the following Table Table 1: Cost Coverage / Deficit Rs in Crs.

GAP Met by Tariff Hike Proposed as Regulatory Asset 11 ERC For FY-11to FY13 4 Compliance to Commission’s Directives The Commission, in the MYT Order dated 25.11.2009, had issued the following directives for compliance thereof by GESCOM. 4.1 Directive-1 MIS & Computerization GESCOM shall improve its Management Information System (MIS) and provide more details and explain the basis for all the projections indicating the source of data and method of estimating projected values in the next filing. The Commission notes that, despite computerization of the billing activity, GESCOM is unable to furnish details of sanctioned load and slab wise consumption in its ERC filing. GESCOM shall furnish the above details for the purpose of computation of fixed charges in the next ERC filing. Further, the Commission notes that despite computerization, there are inconsistencies in the data furnished to the Commission on various aspects. GESCOM has to improve its database and there shall be consistency in the data furnished to the Commission. Compliance As per directive of Hon’ble commission, Management Information System will be improved so that the data stored will be reliable and consistent. The filing in future will be made with all projections of values stored at MIS. The Total Revenue Management (TRM) activity has been outsourced to private agencies in all the Sub Divisions. The agencies have developed the Billing & Collection (B&C) software to meet the requirements of the Company. The software installed by the agencies is capable of generating various reports relating to the details such as slab wise consumption and connected load etc., of all categories. The preparation of the statement relating to Monthly sales and revenue (DCB) is based on the Consumer Ledger Data available in the system. 12 ERC For FY-11to FY13 The slab wise installation, Consumption and connected load of Gulbarga –I , Bellary and Raichur division is enclosed in Annexure-I 4.2 a) Directive-2 Energy Audit The Commission had directed GESCOM to prepare a metering plan for energy audit to measure the energy received in each of the interface points and to account for the energy sales. The Commission has also directed GESCOM to conduct energy audit and chalk out an Action Plan to reduce distribution losses to a maximum of 15% wherever it was above this level in 11 towns and cities having a population of over 50000. Compliance Action plan: GESCOM is conscious & concerned about the high level of distribution loss in the system. It is fully committed to reduce the losses & introduce energy auditing at all levels. As a first step, GESCOM is collecting the information from divisions and analysis is being done at Corporate Office. In order to monitor the energy losses more closely and to identify contributory factors, sub-division level analysis is also conducted at Corporate Office and all SEE’s have been directed to conduct the energy audit at circle level and submit the same to the corporate office vide Ltr .NO. GESCOM /CEE (CP)/SEE (MIS) EE (RA)/T-8/F-2733/0910/35949-62 dtd 05.03.2010. GESCOM has completed the analysis of the energy audit reports of 11 towns up to March-2010 . Meters are provided to all streetlight circuits in the Towns. In respect of un-metered IP Sets, consumption is being assessed on the basis of readings obtained from the meters provided to DTC’s predominantly feeding to IP Sets. All the town feeders are ring fenced to bifurcate the agriculture load from feeders. Apart from this, the vigilance wing is strengthened to plug the pilferages. Intensive raids are being conducted by vigilance & MRT wing in all towns. GESCOM has initiated the following steps to reduce the energy losses. 13 ERC For FY-11to FY13 a) Replacement of MNR meters. b) Metering the Streetlight circuits. c) The distribution system improvement works were carried out in Bidar, Raichur and Gulbarga, Koppal, Gangavathi, Bellary, Hospet, Yadgir, Shahabad & Basavakalyan towns under APDRP. d) The details of MNR meters replaced during FY09 as on 31.12.2010 are shown below: Table 2: Progress of replacement of MNR meters Sl.

The Commission has observed that, all the DTC meters provided by GESCOM are not working properly. The Commission directs GESCOM to replace the faulty DTC meters without delay by keeping adequate stock of spare meters and CTs to ensure that, data from all the sample points is made available for a more realistic assessment of IP set consumption. Reply:- As per the Hon’ble Commission directive, action is being taken to fix RAMR compatible DTC meters to all the DTC’s including IP set DTC’s. Tenders to this effect have been invited. The download data of ETV meters fixed by M/s Teri will be furnished after collecting information from all the O&M division. Compliance: Assessment of IP Sets’ consumption is being carried out on the basis of the readings obtained from the meters provided to the DTC’s predominantly feeding to IP set installations and the information in the format prescribed by Hon’ble commission is being Submitting. The study for determination of LT line loss of IP-Sets will be entrusted to competent agency and report will be submitted. Till such time M/s TERI Recommendation is being followed. C) - New Directive ESCOMs shall install meters to all DTCs which are predominantly feeding to IP sets and put in place a mechanism to obtain periodical meter readings of such meters and assess the IP set consumption. For this purpose ESCOMs are allowed a period of one year from the date of this order to implement this directive. Once this mechanism is put in place the existing method of assessment of consumption based on sample DTC meters shall be discontinued. The ESCOMs are also directed to submit plan of action for implementation of this directive within two months from the date of this order along with the study report for determination of LT line losses which was stated to have been entrusted to CPRI. 18 ERC For FY-11to FY13 Compliance: GESCOM has already taken action to install meters to all DTCs .

The objective of the scheme is to arrange 24 hrs power supply to rural areas including drinking water supply installations. This scheme was most helpful for the rural areas and welcomed by all the consumers. Similarly, a pilot project has been taken up in Kushtagi Taluk of Koppal District in GESCOM and the project is nearing completion. Now on the same lines it is proposed take up the works extending the above Scheme in all the five Districts of Gescom in two phases. In the 1st phase during 2009-10 it is proposed to implement the scheme in 20 Talukas comprising of 14 Most Backward, 4 More Backward and 3 Backward Talukas for which a provision of Rs 250 Crs is made in FY 10 Budget. The balance Talukas are proposed to cover in the second phase during FY11. 38 ERC For FY-11to FY13 The works are proposed to take up on Partial Turnkey basis by supplying the major materials such as Poles, Conductor, 11kv Insulators and Transformers. Notification Inviting Tenders on partial turnkey basis has been issued during May-09. The following benefits that would be achieved after completion of the project is, 1. Improvement in tail end voltage regulation. 2. Savings in Energy due to better control of agricultural loads. 3. Better load management based on the availability. 4. Creating avenues for Rural development by encouraging Cottage industries, education, commercial & economical activities. 6.4 Operational Efficiency Improvement Plan GESCOM is conscious and concerned about the high–level distribution losses in the system. GESCOM has initiated various steps as indicated in the following paras to bring down the losses during the current year and it proposes to continue and accelerate its efforts in this direction. 6.4.1 Distribution Loss Reduction The existing loss level of GESCOM is 25.53% & planned to reduce to 23.98% for FY11, 22.67% for FY 12 and 21.34% for FY 13 and efficiency gain by way of increased sales and taking following steps: a) Replacement of all Non-recording meters. b) Metering of all Streetlight circuits c) Shifting of transformers to load centers d) Addition of 11 KV lines to bring down the HT LT Ratio. e) Addition of Distribution Transformers to the network f) Intensified inspection of installations and detecting commercial losses by vigilance and MRT wings. 6.4.2 Metering: 1. Replacement of all MNR Meters with good meters. 2. Metering of all Street light installations. 3. Replacement of existing Electromechanical meters with high precision meters. 4. Metering of all DTC’s ( which is under progress). 6.5 Shortage of Man Power There is an acute shortage of man power in GESCOM. The Category wise vacancy shown in the following table indicates that the vacancies are to an extent of 38.49 % overall and the vacancies are more at the cutting edge level of C & D categories.

In this scenario the Company is constrained to perform to the expectations from the existing staff and therefore the loss reduction and collection efficiency of the Company could not be achieved at the desired levels. 6.5.1 Economic Backwardness of the region. The GESCOM Jurisdiction is deprived of the basic infrastructure facilities required for industrial growth. The population at large is dependent on agriculture. The area is quite dry with scanty rainfall and insufficient irrigation facilities have resulted in poor economic conditions. Consequently, the consumer mix is unfavorable with nearly 50% of consumption being utilized for agricultural needs where the tariff is highly subsidized. Also the domestic category, where the tariff is nearly at cost is utilizing another 20% leaving just a small portion for industrial and commercial use. The revenue generated from this consumer mix is hardly sufficient to meet the power purchase costs. Therefore the Company is largely dependent on the Governments’ subsidy Support and is required to borrow for working capital in order to meet its needs due to which the Company has to bear an increased interest burden. Such being a continuous phenomenon, the borrowing for CAPEX is being adversely affected owing to high Debt-Equity Ratio. 7. Revenue Expenditure. 7.1 Power purchase cost: The average power purchase cost would be 384 ps per unit and The transmission cost is 1,02,400 per MW during FY 10. The total energy requirement for FY 11 at interface points is provisional is 6651 MU. The total power purchase cost is 1956.35Cr and the total energy requirement for FY-12 & FY-13 is projected to 7777.24and 8339.08 MU. And total power purchase cost is for FY-12 & 13 is 2279.85 & 2546.00 The details are furnished as below: Table No 12: Power Purchase cost 40 ERC For FY-11to FY13 Particulars Energy Purchase (MU) Energy at interface points (MU) Transmission charges (Rs/MW/month) / Power Purchase cost (Rs.
