Photo Voltaic Systems) Regulations, 2015

19. Billing and Accounting Methodology
➢ Monthly Surplus Units after Own Consumption injected into
Grid are to be carried forward to next billing month.(Banking
Given to the Consumers. )
➢ Consumers eligible for TOD tariff should have TOD Net Meter
installed.
➢ Consumers NOT eligible for TOD tariff may have TOD or Non
– TOD Net Meter installed.
➢ Surplus Units Balanced at the end of FY are purchased by
MSEDCL at Average Power Purchase Cost (APPC) which shall
be accounted for Solar Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO).

MSEDCL Tariff - 2016-17
 HT Category-22kV and 11kV:-
 HT- Industry:-
 Continuous / Non continuous, Express / Non express:-
Rs.7.95(7.92) per kWh (Including, wheeling charges Rs0.0.82
per kWh),
 Demand charges Rs.235 per kVA per month.
 Seasonal Industry:
 Rs.8.65 per kWh (Including, wheeling charges Rs0.82 per
kWh),
 Demand charges Rs.235 per kVA per month.

24. 24
MSEDCL Tariff - 2016-17
 HT IX Public Services: Govt Educational Institutes,
Hospitals.
 Express /Non Express: Rs.7.92(7.88) /kWh (Including, wheeling
charges Rs 0.82 /kWh),
 Demand charges Rs.235(220) /kVA per month.
 Public Services Others (Including Ports):-
 Rs.9.82 per kWh (Including, wheeling charges Rs0.82 per
kWh)
 Demand charges Rs.235 per kVA per month.

25. Billing and Accounting Methodology
➢ In case the consumer is eligible for TOD tariff, the consumption
in each TOD slot will be first compensated with units injected in
corresponding TOD slot. Any injection over and above the
consumption in a TOD slot will be accounted as if the Excess
injection had occurred during off-peak hours i.e. during A zone
only. Example are given below
 ZONES
 A ZONE : 22:00 TO 06:00 (-1.50 … REBATE)
 B ZONE : 06:00 TO 09:00 AND 12:00 TO 18:00 (0.00)
 C ZONE : 09:00 TO 12:00 (+0.80 …. ADDITIONAL)
 D ZONE : 18:00 TO 22:00 (+1.10 …..ADDITIONAL)
