1 7 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies Unit 1: Relevant Legal and Administrative Provisions Learning Objectives After studying this unit, you will be able to: Know the legal framework applicable for electricity companies. Understand the composition and purposes of various statutory authorities. Know the Regulations applicable for electricity companies. Understand the policies applicable to the Power Sector. Understand how accounting is done in electricity companies 1.1 Introduction The electricity industry in India was guided by the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 and the Electricity (Supply) Act, The Indian Electricity Act, 1910 introduced a licensing system for the electricity industry and the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 introduced greater state involvement in the industry, facilitating regional coordination through state-owned, vertically integrated units called State Electricity Boards (SEBs) to develop a Grid System. The SEBs were responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity within each state of the Indian Union. In the early 1990s, the power sector was liberalised by permitting private participation in the generation and transmission sectors and establishing regional load dispatch centres (RLDCs). In 1998, the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998 (the ERC Act) established independent electricity regulatory commissions (ERC) at the central and state levels, with the objective of rationalising the electricity tariff regime and promoting and regulating the electricity industry. The ERC Act, which has been replaced by the Electricity Act, 2003 provided for the formation of state electricity regulatory commissions (SERCs) in the respective states for the rationalisation of energy tariffs.
2 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies Historical Background of Legislative Initiatives The Indian Electricity Act, 1910 provided basic framework for electric supply industry in India. It made provisions for growth of the sector through licensees. The Act covered the provisions for licence by State Government, provision for licence for supply of electricity in a specified area, legal framework for lying down of wires and other works, provisions laying down relationship between licensee and consumer. The Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 mandated creation of State Electricity Boards (SEBs) and need for the State to step in (through SEBs) to extend electrification (so far limited to cities) across the country. Later on this Act was amended to enable generation in Central sector and to bring in commercial viability in the functioning of SEBs -- especially section 59 was amended to make the earning of a minimum return of 3% on fixed assets a statutory requirement (w.e.f ). Further amendment was made in 1991 to open generation to private sector and establishment of RLDCs and another amendment in 1998 was made to provide for private sector participation in transmission, and also provision relating to Transmission Utilities. The Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998 lays down the provision for setting up of Central / State Electricity Regulatory Commission with powers to determine tariffs. Further, it emphasized on the constitution of SERC optional for States and distancing of Government from tariff determination. 1.2 Electricity Act, 2003 The Electricity Act, 2003 (the Electricity Act) is a central legislation relating to generation, transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity, that seeks to replace the multiple legislations that governs the Indian power sector. The most significant reform initiative under the Electricity Act was the move towards a multi-buyer, multi-seller system as opposed to the existing structure which permitted only a single buyer to purchase power from power generators. In addition, the Electricity Act grants the ERCs freedom in determining tariffs, without being constrained by rate-of-return regulations. Under the Electricity Act, no licence is required for generation of electricity if the generating station complies with the technical standards relating to connectivity with the grid. The Electricity Act was amended in 2007 to exempt captive power generation plants from licensing requirements for supply to any licensee or consumer. The Electricity Act was amended in 2010 by notification dated 3 March 2010 to provide that any developer of a special economic zone notified under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 shall be deemed to be a licensee under the Electricity Act Objectives The objectives of the Act are "to consolidate the laws relating to generation, transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity and generally for taking measures conducive to development of electricity industry, promoting competition therein, protecting interest of consumers and supply of electricity to all areas, rationalization of electricity tariff, ensuring transparent policies regarding subsidies, promotion of efficient and environmentally benign
3 7.3 Advanced Accounting policies, constitution of Central Electricity Authority, Regulatory Commissions and establishment of Appellate Tribunal and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The Electricity Act 2003 provides electricity market for private investments for increasing generation capacity and efficient network use in India. It encourages captive generation, nondiscriminatory open access to transmission and distribution system and de-licensing generation Under the Electricity Act 2003, activities like generation, transmission and distribution have been separately identified. Now, no person shall (a) transmit electricity; or (b) distribute electricity; or (c) undertake trading in electricity, unless he is authorised to do so by a license issued under section 14, or is exempt under section Licensing The Electricity Act stipulates that no person can transmit, distribute or undertake trading in electricity, unless he is authorised to do so by a licence issued under, or is exempt under, the Electricity Act. The Electricity Act provides for transmission licensees, distribution licensees and licensees for electricity trading. There can be a private distribution licensee as well Generation As per sec 2(29), "generate" means to produce electricity from a generating station for the purpose of giving supply to any premises or enabling a supply to be so given. Currently, any electricity generating company can establish, operate and maintain a generating station if it complies with the technical standards relating to connectivity with grid. Approvals from the Government, the state government and the techno-economic clearance from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) are no longer required, except for hydroelectric projects. Generating companies are now permitted to sell electricity to any licensees and where permitted by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs), to consumers. In addition, no restriction is placed on the setting up of captive power plants by any consumer or group of consumers for their own consumption. Under the Electricity Act, no surcharge is required to be paid on wheeling of power from the captive plant to the destination of the use by its owner. This provides financial incentive to large consumers to set up their own captive plants. Through an amendment in 2007, Section 9 was amended to state that no separate licence is required for the supply of electricity generated from the captive power plant to any licensee or the consumer. The ERCs determine the tariff for the supply of electricity from a generating company to any distribution licensee, transmission of electricity, wheeling of electricity and retail of electricity. The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has jurisdiction over generating companies owned or controlled by the Government and those generating companies who have entered into or otherwise have a composite scheme for generation and sale in more than one state. SERCs have jurisdiction over generating stations within the state boundaries, except those under the CERC s jurisdiction.
4 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies Transmission Transmission being a regulated activity involves the intervention of various players. The Government is responsible for facilitating the transmission and supply of electricity, particularly inter-state, regional and inter-regional transmission. The Electricity Act vests the responsibility of efficient, economical and integrated transmission and supply of electricity with the Government and empowers it to make regional demarcations of the country for the same. In addition, the Government will facilitate voluntary inter-connections and coordination of facilities for the inter-state, regional and inter-regional generation and transmission of electricity. The CEA is required to prescribe certain grid standards under the Electricity Act and every transmission licensee must comply with such technical standards of operation and maintenance of transmission lines. In addition, every transmission licensee is required to obtain a licence from the CERC and the SERCs, as the case may be. The Electricity Act requires the Government to designate one government company as the central transmission utility (CTU), which would be deemed as a transmission licensee. Similarly, each state government is required to designate one government company as state transmission utility (STU), which would also be deemed as a transmission licensee. The CTU and STUs are responsible for transmission of electricity, planning and co-ordination of the transmission system, providing non-discriminatory open access to any users and developing a coordinated, efficient and integrated inter-state and intra-state transmission system respectively. The Electricity Act prohibits the CTU and STUs from engaging in the business of generation or trading in electricity. Under the Electricity Act, a transmission licensee may with prior intimation to the appropriate ERC engage in any business for the optimum utilisation of its assets. Under the Electricity Act, the Government was empowered to establish the national load despatch centre (NLDC) and regional load despatch centre RLDCs for optimum scheduling and despatch of electricity among the RLDCs. The RLDCs are responsible for (a) optimum scheduling and despatch of electricity within the region, in accordance with the contracts entered into with the licensees or the generating companies operating in the region; (b) monitoring grid operations; (c) keeping accounts of the quantity of electricity transmitted through the regional grid; (d) exercising supervision and control over the inter-state transmission system; and (e) carrying out real time operations for grid control and despatch of electricity within the region through secure and economic operation of the regional grid in accordance with the grid standards and grid code. The transmission licensee is required to comply with the technical standards of operation and maintenance of transmission lines specified by the CEA. The Electricity Act allows IPPs open access to transmission lines. The provision of open access is subject to the availability of adequate transmission capacity as determined by the CTU or STU. The Electricity Act also
5 7.5 Advanced Accounting lays down provisions for intra-state transmission, where the state commission facilitates and promotes transmission, wheeling and inter-connection arrangements within its territorial jurisdiction for the transmission and supply of electricity by economical and efficient utilisation of the electricity Trading The Electricity Act specifies trading in electricity as a licensed activity. Trading has been defined as the purchase of electricity for resale. This may involve wholesale supply (i.e. purchasing power from the generators and selling to the distribution licensees) or retail supply (i.e. purchasing from generators or distribution licensees for sale to end consumers). The licence to engage in electricity trading is required to be obtained from the appropriate ERC. The CERC, by notification dated 16 February 2009, issued the CERC (Procedure, Terms and Conditions for Grant of Trading License and Other Related Matters) Regulations, 2009 (the Trading Licence Regulations) to regulate the inter-state trading of electricity. The Trading Licence Regulations define inter-state trading as transfer of electricity from the territory of one state for resale to the territory of another state and includes electricity imported from any other country for resale in any state of India. Under the Trading Licence Regulations, any person desirous of undertaking inter-state trading in electricity shall apply to the CERC for the grant of a licence. The Trading Licence Regulations set out various qualifications for the grant of a licence for undertaking electricity trading, including certain technical and professional qualifications, and net worth requirements. An applicant is required to publish notice of his application in daily newspapers to receive objections, if any, to be filed before the CERC. Further, a licensee is subject to certain conditions including the extent of trading margin, maintenance of records and submission of auditors report. The existing licensees are required to meet the net worth, current ratio and liquidity ratio criteria and are required to pay the licence fee as specified by the CERC, from time to time. The eligibility criteria include norms relating to capital adequacy and technical parameters. However, the NLDC and RLDCs, CTUs, STUs and other transmission licensees are not allowed to trade in power, to prevent unfair competition. The relevant ERCs also have the right to fix a ceiling on trading margins in intra-state trading. The CERC has issued a draft amendment to the Trading Licence Regulations dated 7 May 2012 and entitled CERC (procedure, terms and conditions for grant of trading licence and other related matters) (First Amendment) Regulations, 2012 (the Draft TL Amendment Regulations) under which the number categories of trading licenses have been increased from three to four categories and the traders are additionally required to furnish information relating to the volume of electricity proposed to be traded during fiscal 2013 supported by special balance sheets so that the trader s risk may be viewed by the CERC in a more holistic manner. The Draft TL Amendment Regulations will also introduce a code of conduct for the trading licensees to encourage fair and transparent trading practices.
6 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies Distribution and Retail Supply The Electricity Act does not make any distinction between distribution and retail supply of electricity. Distribution is a licensed activity and distribution licensees are allowed to undertake trading without any separate licence. Under the Electricity Act, no licence is required for the purposes of the supply of electricity. Thus, a distribution licensee can undertake three activities: trading, distribution and supply, through one licence. The distribution licensee with prior permission of the appropriate commission may engage itself in any other activities for optimal utilisation of its assets Unregulated Rural Markets The licensing requirement does not apply in cases where a person intends to generate and distribute electricity in rural areas as notified by a state government. However, the supplier is required to comply with the requirements specified by the CEA such as protecting the public from dangers involved, eliminating or reducing the risks of injury and providing notifications of accidents and failures of transmission and supplies of electricity. It shall also be required to comply with system specifications for supply and transmission of electricity. The Electricity Act mandates formulation of national policies governing rural electrification and local distribution and rural off-grid supply including those based on renewable and other non-conventional energy sources. This policy initiative is expected to give impetus to rural electrification and also conceptualise rural power as a business opportunity. 1.3 Tariff Principles The Electricity Act, 2003 has introduced significant changes in terms of tariff principles applicable to the electricity industry. Under the Electricity Act, the appropriate ERCs are empowered to determine the tariff for: Supply of electricity by a generating company to a distribution licensee, provided that the appropriate commission may, in case of a shortage of supply of electricity, fix the minimum and maximum ceiling of tariff for sale or purchase of electricity in pursuance of an agreement, entered into between a generating company and a licensee or between licensees, for a period not exceeding one year to ensure reasonable prices of electricity; Transmission of electricity; Wheeling of electricity; and Retail of electricity, provided that in case of distribution of electricity in the same area by two or more distribution licensees, the appropriate commission may, for promoting competition among distribution licensees, fix only the maximum ceiling of tariff for retail of electricity. The appropriate ERC is required to be guided by the following while determining tariff: The principles and methodologies specified by the CERC for the determination of the tariff applicable to generating companies and licensees;
7 7.7 Advanced Accounting That the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity are conducted on commercial principles; The factors which would encourage competition, efficiency, economical use of the resources, good performance and optimum investments; Safeguarding consumers interest and also ensure recovery of the cost of electricity in a reasonable manner; The principles rewarding efficiency in performance; Multi-year tariff principles; That the tariff progressively reflects the cost of supply of electricity, at an adequate and improving level of efficiency; That the tariff progressively reduces and eliminates cross-subsidies in the manner to be specified by the CERC; The promotion of co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy; and The NEP and the Tariff Policy. The Electricity Act provides that the ERC shall adopt such tariff that has been determined through a transparent process of bidding in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Government. The MoP has issued detailed guidelines for competitive bidding as well as standard bidding documents for competitive bid projects. The determination of tariff for a particular power project would depend on the mode of participation in the project. Broadly, the tariffs can be determined in two ways: (i) based on the tariff principles prescribed by the CERC (cost plus basis consisting of a capacity charge, an energy charge, an unscheduled interchange charge and incentive payments); or (ii) competitive bidding route where the tariff is purely market based. 1.4 CERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 The CERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 (the CERC Tariff Regulations) apply where the tariff for a generating station or a unit (other than those based on nonconventional energy sources) and the transmission system is yet to be determined by the CERC. Tariff for the supply of electricity from a thermal generating station shall comprise two parts, namely, capacity charge (for recovery of annual fixed cost) and energy charge (for recovery of primary fuel cost and limestone cost (where applicable). Tariff for the supply of electricity from a hydro generating station shall comprise capacity charge and energy charge, for recovery of annual fixed cost through the two charges. Tariff for transmission of electricity on the inter-state transmission system shall comprise transmission charge for recovery of annual fixed cost.
8 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies 7.8 Tariff in respect of a generating station may be determined for the whole generating station or a stage, unit or block of the generating station, and tariff for the transmission system may be determined for the whole of the transmission system or the transmission line or sub-station. For determination of tariff, the capital cost of the project may be broken into stages and distinct units or blocks, transmission lines and sub-systems forming part of the project, if required, provided that where break-up of the capital cost of the project for different stages, units or blocks and transmission lines or sub-stations is not available and in case of on-going projects, the common facilities shall be apportioned on the basis of the installed capacity of the units, line length and number of bays and that in relation to multi-purpose hydro schemes with irrigation, flood control and power components, the capital cost chargeable to the power component of the scheme only shall be considered for determination of tariff. The generating company or the transmission licensee, as the case may be, may apply for determination of tariff in respect of units of the generating station or the transmission lines or sub-stations of the transmission system, completed or projected to be completed within six months from the date of the application. In the case of existing projects, the generating company or the transmission licensee, as the case may be, shall continue to provisionally bill the beneficiaries or the long-term customers with the tariff approved by the CERC and applicable as on 31 March 2009 for the period starting from 1 April, 2009 until approval of tariff by the CERC in accordance with the CERC Tariff Regulations. The CERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2011 specify that, where the tariff provisionally billed exceeds or falls short of the final tariff approved by the CERC under the CERC Tariff Regulations, the generating company, or the transmission licensee, shall refund to (or recover from) the beneficiaries or the transmission customers within six months, together with simple interest, at the State Bank of India base rate during the previous year plus 350 basis points (for the years 2012 to 2013 and 2013 to 2014) for the period from the date of provisional billing to the date of issue of the final tariff order of the CERC monthly average. Where an application for the determination of the tariff of an existing or a new project has been filed before the CERC in accordance with clauses (1) and (2) of the CERC Tariff Regulations, the CERC may consider in its discretion to grant a provisional tariff of up to 95.0 per cent. of the annual fixed cost of the project claimed in the application, subject to adjustment as per the proviso to clause (3) of the CERC Tariff Regulations after the final tariff order has been issued, provided that the recovery of capacity charge and energy charge or transmission charge, as the case may be, in respect of the existing or new project for which provisional tariff has been granted, shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CERC Tariff Regulations.
9 7.9 Advanced Accounting Learning Objectives Unit 2 : Preparation of Financial Statements After studying this unit, you will be able to: Understand relevant transaction of an electricity company such as security deposit, capital service line contribution, Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Program loan and grant and depreciation. Understand Reporting of financial statements of Electricity Company as per Schedule VI. Understand method of depreciation for replacement of asset i.e. the optimised depreciated replacement cost [ODRC] method. 2.1 Formats of Financial Statements Section 616 of the Companies Act, 1956 provides that the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 shall not apply to companies engaged tn generation or supply of electricity except in so far as the said provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indian Electricity Act 1910 or the Electricity (Supply) Act, The Indian Electricity Act 1910 or the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 have been repealed and Electricity Act, 2003 has been enacted in their place. Accordingly in section 616 of the Companies Act instead of the Indian Electricity Act 1910 or the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, the Electricity Act, 2003 can be read. Therefore it is clear that for the companies in the business of generation or supply of electricity, provisions of Companies Act, 1956 shall apply except in so far as the said provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the Electricity Act, Electricity Act, 2003 does not prescribe any formats of financial statements to be followed by the electricity companies. Whereas, the Companies Act, 1956 provides that every company shall prepare its financial statements as per the Schedule VI to the Companies Act, Therefore, the electricity companies shall be required to prepare their accounts as per the Schedule VI to the Companies Act, Specific Transactions of Electricity Supply Company Security Deposit As provided in section 47 of the Act, the Distribution Licensee may require from any person, who requires a supply of electricity to his premises in pursuance of section 43 of the Act, to deposit sufficient security against the estimated payment which may become due to him - (1) In respect of electricity supplied to such person (including Energy Charges, Fixed / Demand Charges, Fuel Price and Power Purchase Adjustment (FPPPA) charges, Electricity Duty and any other charges as may be levied from time to time), or
10 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies 7.10 (2) Where any electric line or electric plant or electric meter is to be provided for supplying electricity to such person, in respect of the provision of such line or plant or meter. (3) The distribution licensee shall pay interest equivalent to the bank rate or more, as may be specified by the concerned State Commission, on the security referred to in sub-section (1) and refund such security on the request of the person who gave such security. (4) A distribution licensee shall not be entitled to require security in pursuance of clause (a) of sub-section (1) if the person requiring the supply is prepared to take the supply through a pre-payment meter. Interest on Security Deposit The Licensee shall pay interest to the consumer at the Reserve Bank of India bank rate prevailing on the I s1 of April for the year, payable annually on the consumer's security deposit with effect from date of such deposit in case of new connections energized after the date of this notification, or in other cases, from the date of notification of this Code. The interest accrued during the year shall be adjusted in the consumer's bill for the first quarter of the ensuing financial year. Accounting and Reporting of Security Deposit Journal Entry Amount to be debited / credited When security deposit is received 1. For amount received Bank A/c Dr. Actual amount received To Security Deposit A/c Note: Balance of Security Deposit A/c at the end of the accounting period should be disclosed as Non-current liability in the Balance Sheet since the same is, in substance, not repayable within a period of 12 months from the reporting date and hence does not satisfy any of the conditions for classifying a liability as current Journal Entry Amount to be debited / credited (a) Interest accrued on security deposit at the end of the accounting period 2. Interest on security deposit at bank rate or more, as may be specified by the concerned State Commission Interest Expense A/c Dr. To Interest Accrued on Security Deposit A/c Note: Balance of Interest Accrued on Security Deposit A/c at the end of the accounting period should be disclosed as Non-current liability in the Balance Sheet since the same is, in substance, not repayable within a period of 12 months from the reporting date and hence does not satisfy any of the conditions for classifying a liability as current
11 7.11 Advanced Accounting Journal Entry Amount to be debited / credited (b) Adjustment of accrued Interest on security deposit in the consumer's bill 3. The interest accrued during the year shall be adjusted in the consumer's bill for the first quarter of the ensuing financial year Interest Accrued on Security Deposit A/c To Sales Turnover Advance against Depreciation (AAD) Advance against depreciation (AAD) was an element of tariff provided under the Tariff Regulations for and to facilitate debt servicing by the generators since it was considered that depreciation recovered in the tariff considering a useful life of 25 years is not adequate for debt servicing. Though this amount is not repayable to the customers by the electricity companies, keeping in view the matching principle, and in line with the opinion of the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), this is to be treated as deferred revenue to the extent depreciation chargeable in the accounts is considered to be higher than the depreciation recoverable in tariff in future years Accounting for Exchange Rate Variations on the Foreign Currency Borrowings Foreign exchange rate variation (FERV) on foreign currency loans and interest thereon is recoverable from/payable to the customers on actual payment in line with the Tariff Regulations. Keeping in view the opinion of the EAC of ICAI, the deferred foreign currency fluctuation asset is to be recognised by corresponding credit to deferred income from foreign currency fluctuation in respect of the FERV on foreign currency loans or interest thereon adjusted in the cost of fixed assets, which is recoverable from the customers in future years on actual repayment. This amount will be recognized as revenue corresponding to the depreciation charge in future years Assets under 5 KM scheme of the Government of India Ministry of Power has launched a scheme for electrification of villages within 5 km periphery of generation plants of Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) for providing reliable and quality power to the project affected people. The scheme provides free electricity connections to below poverty line (BPL) households. The scheme will cover all existing and upcoming power plants of CPSUs. The cost of the scheme will be borne by the CPSU to which the plant belongs. This cost will be booked by the CPSU under the project cost and will be considered by the CERC for determination of tariff Capital Service Line Contributions Different State Commissions prescribes such Service line cum Development (SLD) Charges norms as per section 47 of the Act. Norms of Delhi Electricity Supply Code Regulations, 2012 Chapter IV are given below for reference: Dr.
12 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies 7.12 Service line cum Development (SLD) Charges: ln case the area/colony is electrified by the Licensee, the SLD charges shall be payable by all consumers irrespective of whether it is electrified or un-electrified area. SLD charges, as given in Table-4, shall be leviable. Service Line cum Development Charge S.No. Sanctioned Load (kw) Amount (`) 1 Upto 5 3,000 2 More than 5 upto 10 7,000 3 More than 10 upto 20 11,000 4 More than 20 upto 50 16,000 5 More than 50 upto ,000 6 More than 100 kw (at 11 kv) 50% of the cost of HT cables/line/switchgear Accounting for this source of funds of Electricity Company requires special attention as the following different accounting and reporting practices are noticed in published Financial Statements of some companies. 1. Amount received from consumer towards capital/service line contributions is accounted as liability and subsequently recognized as income over the life of the asset; 2. Amount received from consumer towards capital / service line contributions is accounted as reserves as the amount is not refundable and reported under the head reserves and surplus without transferring any proportionate amount to the income statement over the life of asset; 3. Amount received from consumer towards capital / service line contributions is accounted as capital reserve as the amount is not refundable and subsequently proportionate amount is transferred to income statement during the expected life of the asset to match against depreciation on total cost of such asset; 4. Amount received from consumer towards capital/service line contributions is accounted as reduction in the cost of non-current asset and depreciation may be provided on such reduced cost. Accounting entry for the 3 rd option is as follows Journal Entry Amount to be debited / credited (c) When amount received from consumers towards capital / service line contributions 4. For amount received Bank A/c Dr. To Capital / service line contributions A/c Actual amount received

Journal Entry Amount to be debited / credited (d) When proportionate amount is transferred to income statement during the expected life of the asset from capital / service line contributions A/c 5. For amount received Capital / service line contributions A/c To Profit and Loss A/c Dr. Note: Balance of capital / service line contributions A/c at the end of the accounting period should be disclosed as Capital Reserve under Reserves and Surplus wherein this transfer is shown as deduction. The amount transferred matches proportionately against depreciation charged on total cost of such asset in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Return on equity shall be computed in rupee terms, on the equity base determined in accordance with regulation 12. Equity Base should not include the amount contributed by the consumers towards such capital investment. Consumer contribution for such capital investment is not brought out in the ARR. 2.3 Implementation of Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Program (APDRP) Government identified need for electricity distribution reforms in light of existing poor distribution network, huge transmission and distribution losses due to un-metered supply and theft, high LT/HT line ratio, overloaded DT/lines etc. For this Government introduced Accelerated Power Development Program (APDP) in February, The main objective of this program was to initiate a financial turnaround in the performance of the state owned power sector. Two years of working experience of APDP showed that it had several limitations. Therefore, in the Union Budget APDP was re-christened as Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Program (APDRP) with the stipulation that access of the States to the fund will be on the basis of agreed reform programmes the center piece of which would be narrowing and ultimate elimination of the gap between unit cost of supply and revenue realization within a specific time frame Objectives of APDRP APDRP has now been given much wider scope than APDP. It aims at strengthening and upgradation of the Sub-Transmission, and Distribution system in the country with the following objectives:
14 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies 7.14 i. Reducing Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses; ii. Improving quality of supply of power; iii. Increasing revenue collection; and iv. Improving consumer satisfaction. Union Government provide funds under the programme as additional central assistance over and above the normal Central Plan Allocation to those States who commit to a time bound programme of reforms as elaborated in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Memorandum of Agreement (MoA). The funds under the programme are provided under two components: i Investment component- Assistance for strengthening and upgradation of sub-transmission and distribution system. Focus is on high density urban areas to achieve quick result as losses in absolute term are very high in such areas. ii. Incentive component It is a grant for States/Utilities to encourage them to reduce their cash losses on yearly basis. Investment component Funds are provided through a combination of grant and loan. For this purpose States have been categorized as Special Category States and Non-Special Category States. 100% of the project cost in special category States (all North Eastern States, Sikkim, Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir) in the ratio of 90% grant and 10% soft loan is financed. In respect of other States (Non-special category) Union Government finance 50% of the project cost and the ratio of grant and loan is 1:1. SEBs and Utilities have to arrange remaining 50% of the fund from Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) or other financial institutions or from their own resources as counter-part funds. Incentive component: - This component has been introduced to motivate SEBs/Utilities to reduce their cash losses. State Governments are incentivised upto 50% of the actual cash loss reduction by SEBs/ Utilities as grant. The year is the base year for the calculation of loss reduction, in subsequent years. The losses are calculated net of subsidy and receivable. Funds under incentive components are provided as 100% grant to all the States (special category and nonspecial category) as Additional Plan Assistance. The following table will make the funding modalities more clear: S.No. Category of States % of Projects / Scheme Cost from APDRP as Grant Loan % of Projects Scheme Cost from PFC/REC/ Own/ Other Sources 1 Special Category States Non-special category States
15 7.15 Advanced Accounting Funding Pattern Funds under the Accelerated Power Development Reforms Programme (APDRP) are released to the State Government as below: i. Non-special category States: a. 25 percent of the APDRP amount after approval of project under APDRP and on tie up of counterpart funds from financial institutions and release of matching fund by financial institutions (FIs) b. On utilization of the 25 percent of sanctioned project cost, 50 percent of the APDRP amount is released. c. On utilization of 75 percent of the sanctioned project cost, balance 25 percent is released ii. Special Category States: (namely all North-Eastern States, Sikkim, Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir): a. 25 percent of the APDRP amount after approval of project b. On utilization of 25 percent of the project cost, 50 percent of the APDRP amount is released c. On utilization of 75 percent of the project cost, balance 25 percent of the APDRP amount is released Accounting of Grant received under APDRP Grant received under the Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) of the Ministry of Power, Government of India towards capital expenditure, is treated as capital receipt and accounted as Capital Reserve and subsequently adjusted as income (by transfer to the Statement of Profit and Loss) in the same proportion as the depreciation written off on the assets acquired out of the grant. The depreciation for the year debited to the statement of Profit and Loss on asset acquired out of grant match against portion of grant transferred from Capital Reserve. The unadjusted balance of capital reserve is disclosed under Reserves and Surplus in balance sheet. In the Cash Flow Statement grant received under APDRP is reported under Financing Activity. At any time if the ownership of the assets acquired, out of the grants, vest with the Government, the grants (capital reserve) are adjusted in the carrying cost of such assets. The grant-in-aid assistance received by the utility under APDRP and its utilisation shown under the head capital expenditure made during the year is not considered for calculation of Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) of the utility for the year. 2.4 Depreciation Depreciation requires special consideration for an electricity company for following reasons: 1. As already discussed, for the companies in the business of generation or supply of electricity, provisions of Companies Act, 1956 shall apply except in so far as the said provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003.
16 Financial Statements of Electricity Companies The rates of depreciation has been prescribed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) under the tariff regulations, 2009 which has been notified under the powers given under the Electricity Act, The rates of depreciation as prescribed by CERC for the purpose of tariff are different from those prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956; 4. As per 2004 Regulations, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has observed that different rates of depreciation are already being allowed for the purpose of accounts and income-tax. This being so, following different depreciation rates for the purpose of tariff was considered fully justified. 5. As per 2009 Regulations, it has been stated in the Tariff Policy that the depreciation rates for the assets shall be specified by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and this rate of depreciation shall be applicable for the purpose of tariff as well as accounting. 6. The Office of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India has expressed an opinion that power sector companies shall be governed by the rates of depreciation notified by the CERC for providing depreciation in respect of generating assets in the accounts instead of the rates as per the Companies Act, Accordingly, a Company should revise its accounting policies relating to charging of depreciation w.e.f. 1 st April 2009 considering the rates and methodology notified by the CERC for determination of tariff through Regulations, 2009 (Ref. 35 th Annual Report for FY of NTPC Ltd page 59) Purpose of Depreciation For the treatment of depreciation, three views are generally expressed The first is that it represents a cash flow for repayment of loan; The second is that it represents a return of capital subscribed; and The third is that it represents a replacement of capital or a charge for the replacement of the assets consumed. As per 2004 Regulations, depreciation represents a cash flow for repayment of loan and allowed Advance Against Depreciation. (Explained in following paragraphs). As per 2009 Regulations, depreciation represents a cash flow for repayment of loan not by allowing Advance against Depreciation but by prescribing higher rates of depreciation for initial years of loan redemption explained in following paragraphs Philosophy of depreciation The philosophy of depreciation as adopted by the Commission in the existing norms as result of detailed study, prescribes following two methods of depreciation. (a) The Straight Line method by application of a fixed rate over the fair life of the asset; (b) Optimized Depreciated Replacement Cost (ODRC) based method under which the depreciation could be a method for replacement of the asset.
