As per the application, connectivity is required from Feb 17. The project is to be commissioned progressively from Feb 17 to June 18. Generation would be available at the step-up voltage of 400 kv. The nearest substation to the proposed project is the Vemagiri-II (PG) S/S. The Samalkot Power Limited was earlier granted Connectivity (2400 MW) & LTA (2200 MW) in Dec, However pursuant to the CERC directions in petition no.127/2012 & 128/2012, both Connectivity & LTA applications were withdrawn in Oct, As per regulation,the capacity of the transmission system for Connectivity to the nearest grid has to be adequate to sustain full load power transfer of one Unit at a time which in this case is 266 MW. However looking into the plant size & judicious utilisation of the RoW, it is proposed that the Connectivity line to the nearest grid point may be considered with 400kV Quad conductor so that subsequently when power is to be evacuated by any form of access then there is judicious utilization of RoW. CTU representative, however clarified that the 400kV D/c line with Quad conductor shall not be adequate for evacuation of entire quantum of the plant under N-1 condition. Further it was informed, mere connectivity shall not entitle power evacuation unless, the applicant obtains LTA, MTOA & STOA. Further, since MTOA & STOA are granted on the margins available in the grid and firm transfer of power is granted only with the LTA, therefore, the applicant was advised to apply for the LTA to plan transmission system that assure power evacuation & transfer to its beneficiaries. Also CTU representative pointed out that, as per preliminary examination, in order to accommodate injection from proposed generation, further strengthening will be required. CTU representative also clarified that Fault level at Generating station switchyard may be considered as 50 ka. 125 MVAR bus Reactor may be provided at Generating station switchyard and space for four (4) additional line bays and 1 Bus reactor may be kept at generating station switchyard.. As regards Transmission

10 System for Connectivity it was intimated that the under implementation 765/400kV GIS substation in Vemagiri has adequate bay space to accommodate line terminations. Representative of Samalkot Power Limited informed that the proposed lines was partly constructed as per earlier grant of Connectivity & LTA. Accordingly, representative of SPL stated that they shall be taking-up the transmission system for connectivity. Further SPL has made arrangement for start-up power with APTRANSCO system, with which some of the units are being tested for full load. Accordingly, it was proposed to grant connectivity to SPL for 2241 MW [6x236+3x266] through Samalkot Vemagiri-II (PG) 400 kv D/c Quad line. Members agreed for the same. 4.2 M/s Regen Wind Farm (Vagarai) Pvt Ltd. CTU representative informed that Regen Powertech Private Limited was earlier granted 600 MW connectivity at Pugalur 400/230kV substation in 2011 with dedicated transmission line Regen PS Pugalur 230 kv D/c (twin moose) line. In the meantime, while making the present Connectivity application, Regen Powertech Pvt. Ltd. vide letter dated has informed that they now want to develop the generation project by a group of generators (48x x1) for which Regen Powertech Private Limited shall be the lead generator. Accordingly they had requested to withdraw/surrender the earlier connectivity and has submitted fresh application for 600 MW connectivity at the same location vide application dated As per the new application the start date of connectivity is mentioned as which has already elapsed. Regen Powertech Pvt. Ltd. vide letter dated 8th July 2016 informed that the generation is scheduled progressively from March The connectivity was proposed to be granted at Pugalur 400/230kV substation through Regen PS Pugalur 230 kv D/c (Twin Moose) line under the scope of applicant. The transmission system is planned based on the prevailing Transmission Planning Criteria of CEA as per which N-1 criteria may not be applied to the immediate connectivity of wind/solar farms with the ISTS/Intra-STS grid and the wind

11 developer shall provide adequate reactive compensation so that under all dispatch scenarios Power Factor of 0.98 shall be maintained. CTU representative also informed that Regen Wind Farm (Vagarai) Pvt Ltd has submitted 4 nos of LTA applications for cumulative capacity of 240 MW ( MW) from their Wind generation project in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. The LTA is sought progressively from May 17 with NR as target beneficiary. The aforesaid LTA shall involve power transfer from SR to NR via WR/ER. Regarding power flow from the SR to NEW Grid, it is to mention that power flow is in reverse direction from the normal prevailing power flow, therefore no constraints are envisaged. However, for power transfer on WR to NR corridor, studies indicate that 240 MW to NR can be accommodated with commissioning of Jabalpur- Orai 765 kv D/c line Accordingly, it was proposed to withdraw/close the earlier grant of connectivity and grant connectivity for 600 MW and LTA of 240 MW with the following system Transmission System for Connectivity: Regen PS Pugalur 230 kv D/c (Twin Moose) line Transmission system for LTA: WR- NR 765kV Inter-regional corridor Jabalpur- Orai 765 kv D/C line Members agreed for the same. 4.3 M/s Inox Wind Infrastructure Services Ltd.

SESPL has applied LTA in ISTS for 300 MW (NR-150 MW, WR-90 MW & SR-60 MW) in which 60 MW power transfer is envisaged on target basis to SR from 31 st March, For transfer of power to SR, various inter-regional transmission links are already under implementation which would progressively enhance the ATC between NEW Grid & SR Grid. Accordingly, LTA for transfer of 60 MW to SR is proposed to be granted with progressive enhancement of ATC with progressive commissioning of following links: Wardha Nizamabad 765 kv D/c line along with Nizambad Dichpally 400 kv D/c Line (HTLS) Nizamabad Hyderabad (Maheshwaram) 765kV D/c line along with associated 400 kv Transmission System. The same was approved in 23 rd meeting of Western Region constituents for Connectivity / LTA applications held on Members agreed for the same. 7.2 Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (2x800 MW) CTU representative informed that KPCL, against their LTOA application of Dec, 2008 under the CERC Regulation 2004, was earlier granted LTOA vide intimation (revised) dated Aug, 2011 for 763 MW transfer of power from its 2x800 MW generation project in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh to Southern Region. Further, the BPTA was signed on As per the grant of LTOA, (i) target beneficiaries were Southern Region for entire 763 MW, (ii) the commissioning schedule for generation project was Sept, 15 and March, In the time frame of the grant of above LTOA, Southern region was

15 projected to be in huge surplus on account of large number of proposed generation project in SR having target beneficiaries in WR & NR. Therefore, the power transfer to SR from the project was planned through displacement. Accordingly, the transmission system associated with the grant of above LTOA included +800 kv 6000 MW HVDC bipole along with downstream network in NR. During the past five (5) years since grant of LTOA, generation project has not progressed. Further during this period there has been lot of development on the power scenario in SR, as per which the SR has turned into net importing region on account of delay of large number of generation. During the 11 th JCC meetings the generation developer has provided the status and stated that they are yet to receive some of the clearances because of which the work at site has not yet started. In the JCC meeting of WR held in Feb, 2016 KPCL has stated that they are yet to receive the MoEF clearance and the time frame of the project is uncertain. In view of the above, the transmission requirement for the LTOA earlier granted needs to be reviewed in view of the present scenario and the expected time frame of the generation project. Towards this the generation developer has stated that the time frame of the generation project shall be 48/54 months for Unit-I/II from the award which shall be after receiving MoEF clearance. The representative of KPCL informed that they are yet to receive the MoEF clearance and the time frame of the project is uncertain but it may be expected in the year of By this time frame the under implementation inter-regional links between NEW grid and SR grid shall be commissioned and shall be adequate for this transfer of power from generation project in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh to Karnataka. Hence it was proposed to delink the project from Champa- Kurukshetra. Further, action with regard to modification of LTA intimation of associating with above mentioned under construction transmission lines shall be undertaken after the commissioning schedule of generation projects attains certainity. Members agreed for the same

16 8.0 Reduction of LTA quantum of Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited NNTPP(2x500 MW) (Replacement) generation in Tamil Nadu CTU representative informed that Long Term Access of 400 MW was granted to Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited for its generation project in Tamil Nadu vide intimation no.
