Rajasthan to finalize APPC for its DISCOMs

State owned distribution companies in Rajasthan namely; Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JdVVNL) and Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL) have filed petitions for APPC determination of FY13 and FY14 respectively. The commission had previously declared provisional APPCs for both.

Before going in to the details, it is pertinent to note the definition of APPC being followed by Rajasthan –

“Pooled Cost of Power Purchase: The weighted average price at which the distribution licensee has  purchased the electricity including cost of self generation, if any, in the previous year from all the energy  suppliers, excluding short term power purchases and those based on renewable energy.” 

Unlike other states Rajasthan excludes short-term power purchases also, along with renewable power purchases.
