Abstract

The Availability Based Tariff mechanism has been introduced in Electricity Act 2003, mainly to achieve grid discipline and improve power sector performance. One of the main component of ABT is the Unscheduled Interchange charge that acts as a mechanism for regulating the grid frequency. At the same time, this mechanism offers opportunity for third parties to buy and sell power through the national grid. Based on under/over drawal of power from the beneficiary, incentives/penalties are given to the beneficiary. Likewise, under/over generation from the producers with respect to the scheduled power, generators are penalized/rewarded accordingly. This paper makes a comparative study on the deviation from scheduled energy and the UI rates of south Indian states like Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh from 2012 to 2014.
