FAQ On APDCL Assam Electricity Bill

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) On APDCL Assam Electricity Bill

1. How electricity tariff is determined? Who determines the electricity tariff?
Electricity tariff is fixed by the Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission (AERC). Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) makes an annual or three years assessment of the revenue requirement based on cost of power purchase, operation & maintenance, employees’ salary, administrative & general expenditure and files a petition before the AERC for fixation of the tariff for different categories of consumers. AERC fixes the tariff after public hearing where all the stakeholders are involved.

2. What is Fuel & Power Purchase Price Adjustment (FPPPA) charge? Does APDCL have the authority to levy FPPPA charge?
Tariff is generally revised once in a year. FPPPA charge is levied to take care of the increase in fuel cost to generating company and consequent increase in power purchase price by the distribution companies during the year after fixation of the tariff for the year.

APDCL has the authority to levy FPPPA charge as per the provision of the AERC (Fuel and Power Purchase Price Adjustment Formula) Regulations, 2010 notified by the Commission under section 62(4) and 181 of the Electricity Act 2003.

3. What measures APDCL has taken to reduce Technical & Commercial loss?
** Replacement of stopped and defective meters regularly
** Installation of checked meters in industrial houses & high power consuming customers
** Massive disconnection drive

** Use of computerized systems for metering & billing
** Infrastructure development through R-APDRP, Chief Minister’s Power Supply Assurance Mission, Assam Bikash Yojana, ADB financed schemes etc.

** Creation of 12 special police stations ? Creation of 24-hour ‘Central Electricity Theft Control Centre’ at Guwahati (Dial 96780-05171)
** Handing over of rural distribution feeders to franchisees for improved collection and service.

4. Is the number of employees in APDCL very high?
The total employees of ASEB in 1980-81 were 22822 to handle less than 300 MW. In 2002-03, the manpower was 17316 to handle 500 MW peak load. But the present manpower strength of successor companies of ASEB to handle 1100 MW is 14525 including 11232 nos. of APDCL.

5. What is the shortfall in availability of power? What measures has APDCL taken to meet the shortfall?
Day to day availability depends upon water discharge into the rivers, gas/coal availability & availability of machines. As such APDCL does not receive the entire allotted power.

Hence APDCL is always experiencing a shortfall to the tune of 30–70 MW in off peak and 200-250 MW in the peak load hours. To meet this shortfall on the average 150 MW at peak hours have been purchased from Power Exchange continuously at high rates.

6. Why APDCL does not give advance notice for Load Shedding/tripping?
All efforts are made to give advance notice but on many occasions sudden load shedding becomes absolutely necessary to prevent grid collapse or maintain the system.

Fragile infrastructure and weather conditions also cause tripping. However, as mentioned above APDCL is making its best efforts and taking necessary steps to reduce unscheduled load shedding or tripping.
