The new inter-State transmission charge norm would be relatively cheaper for upcoming power projects, especially large, inter-State projects, to wheel the generated electricity to customers across regions. The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) is expected to announce the order shortly, paving the way for the implementation of the new 'Point of Connection (PoC)' model, which will replace the current 'Regional Postage Stamp' method that is followed for calculating inter-State transmission charges and losses. The new norm was earlier set for implementation from April 1, but delays in the signing of the standard transmission service agreement by the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) with the regional beneficiaries is likely to push back the implementation schedule by a couple of months.
