Andhra Pradesh declares APPC for FY15

Hon’ble Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) in an order (DATED – 31 MAY 2014) has determined the APPC for FY 14-15.

The definition of the APPC being followed by APERC can be read as –

‘Pooled Cost of Power Purchase (PCPP)’ means the weighted average pooled price at which the distribution licensee has purchased electricity in the previous year from all the long-term energy suppliers excluding the purchases based on liquid fuel. Provided that the purchases from traders, short-term purchases and purchases from renewable sources shall not be taken into account while determining Pooled Cost of Power Purchase.
