Dear DERC, You allowed 6% PPAC ...... DOES THE BALANCE 12% become Regulatory Assets ?

The Secretary,

Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission,

C-Block, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi.

Madam,

The News Reports say that DERC has approved PPAC of 4-6% against a demand of 18-20% by DISCOMS.

We the Consumers are aware of Fuel Charge Adjustment (FCA) that was approved after a Public Hearing in 2011 in which I too had participated. At that time we the consumers had stated that Quarterly Adjustment was welcome as the carrying cost could be saved.

Since then we have studied the process and notice total opaqueness and arbitrariness in determining Surcharge. What was meant to be FUEL CHARGE ADJUSTMENT has now been termed PPAC (Power Purchase Adjustment Cost).

The DISCOMS have been demanding upwards of 18%, at times even as high as 30% ..... DERC has at times allowed 8% or lower over the past three years, last year in Nov. 2014 DERC even withdrew the hike within 24 hrs, citing absence of documentary evidence submitted by DISCOMS.

This proves that there is some mechanism in place to determine Surcharge and as per DREC's mandate to work in the best interest of Consumers, every precaution is taken by DERC and DISCOMS are granted FCA after Due Diligence?

QUESTIONS ..... ?????

1. DOES THE BALANCE 12-14% become Regulatory Assets????

2. In the past how many times have DISCOMS agreed to what DERC has Approved and what has been the fate of Balance, was that added to Regulatory Assets?

3. When was the Mandate changed to recover COSTS OTHER THAN FUEL on a Quarterly Basis?

4. How is FCA and now PPAC calculated?

5. Who provides the Data the Purchaser, the Producer or the Transmission Company?

6. Is there an independent Body or Regulator who calculates these Costs and orders a Uniform Cost for all State and Private DISCOMS?

7. How many times in the past four years have the consumers been passed on the benefit, when Coal prices fall?

8. Has the Surcharge collected in the name of FCA / PPAC by DISCOMS been passed on to Power Producers?

Looking forward to an early response to the above questions and hope I will not have to resort to RTI.

Warm Regards,

Rajiv Kakria

ऐ "सुख" तू कहाँ मिलता है ?

ऐ   "सुख"  तू  कहाँ   मिलता   है, क्या  तेरा   कोई  स्थायी   पता   है

क्यों   बन   बैठा   है.   अन्जाना, आखिर   क्या   है   तेरा   ठिकाना।

कहाँ   कहाँ    ढूंढा   तुझको, पर  तू  न  कहीं  मिला  मुझको

ढूंढा  ऊँचे   मकानों   में, बड़ी  बड़ी   दुकानों   में

स्वादिस्ट   पकवानों   में, चोटी  के  धनवानों   में

वो   भी   तुझको     ढूंढ  रहे   थे, बल्कि   मुझको  ही   पूछ  रहे  थे

क्या   आपको   कुछ   पता    है, ये  सुख  आखिर  कहाँ  रहता   है?

मेरे  पास  तो  "दुःख"  का   पता   था, जो   सुबह   शाम   अक्सर   मिलता  था

परेशान   होके   रपट    लिखवाई, पर   ये   कोशिश   भी   काम  न  आई

उम्र   अब   ढलान    पे    है, हौसले    थकान    पे     है

हाँ   उसकी  तस्वीर   है   मेरे   पास, अब   भी   बची   हुई  है    आस

मैं   भी  हार    नही    मानूंगा, सुख   के  रहस्य   को   जानूंगा

बचपन   में    मिला    करता    था, मेरे    साथ   रहा    करता   था

पर   जबसे    मैं    बड़ा   हो    गया, मेरा   सुख   मुझसे   जुदा  हो  गया।

मैं   फिर   भी   नही   हुआ    हताश, जारी   रखी    उसकी    तलाश

एक   दिन   जब   आवाज  ये    आई, क्या    मुझको   ढूंढ  रहा  है   भाई

मैं   तेरे   अन्दर   छुपा    हुआ     हूँ, तेरे   ही   घर|  में  बसा   हुआ   हूँ

मेरा  नहीं   है   कुछ    भी    "मोल", सिक्कों   में   मुझको    न    तोल

मैं   बच्चों   की    मुस्कानों    में    हूँ, हारमोनियम   की    तानों   में    हूँ

पत्नी   के   साथ    चाय    पीने   में, "परिवार"    के   संग   जीने   में

माँ  बाप   के  आशीर्वाद    में, रसोई   घर   के  पकवानों  में

बच्चों  की   सफलता।  में   हूँ, माँ   की  निश्छल  ममता  में  हूँ

हर  पल  तेरे  संग    रहता।  हूँ, और   अक्सर  तुझसे   कहता  हूँ

मैं   तो   हूँ   बस  एक    "अहसास", बंद  कर   दे   तु  मेरी    तलाश

जो   मिला   उसी  में  कर   "संतोष", आज  को  जी  ले,  कल  की न सोच

कल  के   लिए  आज  को  न   खोना, मेरे   लिए   कभी   दुखी   न  होना

मेरे  लिए   कभी  दुखी   न    होना

Politics over Garbage ..... WHO DUMPED IT THERE ....... and who allowed it.

Dear Friends,

Garbage has raised a lot of STINK and Political Heat in Delhi ....... TV Channels and News Papers are full of unsightly Garbage Heaps ..... 

But what is more FOUL ....... the Stink or the Politics of it ......

I had vehemently Protested when MCD was Trifurcated by Shiela Dikshit .... today I am Happy or else South Delhi would be in the same dump.

That does not man that I do not feel for my fellow citizens of East Delhi ...... I am trying to figure out who really is at fault.

FIRST I BLAME THE MCD STAFF ..... the Garbage that I see in Photographs was Dumped there ....... The Citizens did not drop it there ......

THEN I BLAME THE POLICE ..... What were they doing ..... WHY DID THEY NOT ARREST MCD STAFF, when they were dumping Garbage on Delhi Streets.

NEXT I BLAME MCD ...... you figure out who has been at the helm in MCD ..... Delhi Government has been there only for three Months and the SALARY DUES have been for over Three Months ....... so the BLAME should squarely be on MCD for its hand to mouth existence.

FURTHER I BLAME LG AND THE CENTER ..... Why did they not try to implement the much Touted GUJARAT MODEL to prove, what was possible in Gujarat can be replicated elsewhere.

FINALLY I BLAME DELHI GOVERNMENT ....... they should have continued to release funds which were genuinely MCDs share ...... 

THAT MY FRIENDS IS THE FACTUAL SITUATION ......placed before you in my humble opinion ..... the blame for the mess is to be placed in the above order.

WHY MCD STAFF YOU MAY ASK ..... they are free to go on strike and not clear the garbage ..... but THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS DUMPING IT ON STREETS.

Mr. LG, PLEASE ORDER YOUR POLICE TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST ERRING STAFF.

Regards,

Rajiv Kakria
