संचरण नुकसान और व्हीलिंग शुल्क का राजस्व अपवर्जन (Transmission Loss & Wheeling Charge Revenue Leakage)
Definition
PPAs embed transmission loss deductions in the billing formula itself. Example: If a project generates 100 units, and transmission loss Z% = 5%, developer receives payment for only 95 units. In MP model, an additional 2% wheeling charge is deducted + 4% subsidy claimed by MP TRADECO (which is rarely passed back). These stacked deductions (6-10% in some cases) are borne entirely by the generator, not shared with off-takers. Billing is automated but non-transparent—developers cannot dispute transmission loss percentages.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹300-600 crores annually (sector-wide); per 500 MW project: ₹3-5 crores/year lost to wheeling/transmission deductions; per 50 MW project: ₹30-50 lakhs/year
- Frequency: Every billing cycle (monthly) on 100% of energy injected
- Root Cause: Centralized transmission model where state-owned entities (MP TRADECO, state grids) retain wheeling and transmission losses as revenue. Lack of real-time loss allocation transparency and fixed contractual deduction formulas with no dispute mechanism.
