After taking into account of capital subsidy net project cost shall be Rs.800Lakh/MW for FY 2013-14.

77. Capital Cost Indexation Mechanism.

(1)The following indexation mechanism shall be applicable in case of biogas based power projects for adjustment in capital cost over the Control Period with the changes in Wholesale Price Index for Steel and Electrical Machinery,CC(n) = P&M(n)* (1+F1+F2+F3)P&M(n) = P&M(0) * (1+d(n))d(n) = [a*{(SI(n-1)/SI(0))- 1} + b*{(EI(n-1)/EI(0)) - 1}]/(a+b)Where,CC (n) = Capital Cost for nth yearP&M (n) = Plant and Machinery Cost for nth yearP&M (0) = Plant and Machinery Cost for the base yearNote: P&M (0) is to be computed by dividing the base capital cost (for the first year of the control period) by (1+F1+F2+F3)d (n) = Capital Cost escalation factor for year (n) of Control PeriodSI (n-1) = Average WPI Steel Index prevalent for calendar year (n-1) of the Control PeriodSI (0) = Average WPI Steel Index prevalent for calendar year (0) at the beginning of the Control Period i.e. April 2012 to March 2013EI (n-1) = Average WPI Electrical Machinery Index prevalent for calendar year (n-1) of the Control PeriodEI(0) = Average WPI Electrical and Machinery Index prevalent for calendar year (0) at the beginning of the Control Period i.e. April 2012 to March 2013a = Constant to be determined by Commission from time to time, (In default it is 0.7), for weightages to Steel Indexb = Constant to be determined by Commission from time to time, (In default it is 0.3), for weightages to Electrical Machinery IndexF1 = Factor for Land and Civil Works (0.10)F2 = Factor for Erection and Commissioning (0.09)F3 = Factor for IDC and Financing Cost (0.14)

(2)Normative O&M expenses allowed at the commencement of the Control Period (i.e. FY 2013-14) under these Regulations shall be escalated at the rate of 5.72% per annum.

81. Specific Fuel Consumption.

- Normative specific fuel consumption shall be 3 kg of substrate mix per kWh.

82. Fuel Cost (Feed stock Price).

- Feed stock price during first year of the Control Period (i.e. FY 2013-14) shall be Rs.990/MT (net of any cost recovery from digester effluent).

83. Fuel Price Indexation Mechanism.

(1)In case of biomass power projects, the following indexing mechanism for adjustment of fuel prices for each year of operation will be applicable for determination of applicable variable charge component of tariff, in case developer wishes to opt for indexing mechanism:P (n) =P (n-1) * {a * (WPI(n)/WPI(n-1)) + b * (1+IRC) (n-1) + c *(Pd(n)/Pd(n-1))}Where,P (n) = Price per tonne of biomass for the nth year to be considered for tariff determinationP (n-1) = Price per tonne of biomass for the (n-1)th year to be considered for tariff determination.P1 shall be Feed stock price for FY 2013-14 as specified under Regulation 82a = Factor representing fuel handling costb = Factor representing fuel costc = Factor representing transportation costIRC(n-1) = Average Annual Inflation Rate for indexed energy charge component in case of captive coal mine source (in %) to be applicable for (n- 1)th year, as may be specified by CERC for 'Payment purpose' as per Competitive Bidding GuidelinesPd n = Weighted average price of HSD for nth year.Pd n-1 = Weighted average price of HSD for (n-1)th year.WPI n = Whole sale price index for the month of April of nth yearWPI n-1 = Wholesale price index for month of April of (n-1)th year.Where a, b & c will be specified by the Commission from time to time. In default, these factors shall be 0.2, 0.6 & 0.2 respectively.
(2)Variable Charge for the nth year shall be determined as under:i.e. VCn = VC1x (Pn / P1) or VCn = VC1x (1.05)(n-1) (optional)where,VC1represents the Variable Charge based on Biomass Price P1for FY 2013-14 as specified under Regulation 44 and shall be determined as under:
VC1=| Station Heat Rate (SHR)Gross Calorific Value (GCV)| x| 1(1 - Aux Cons. Factor)| x| P11000|
(3)The biomass base price shall be revised at the end of third year of the control period and same shall also be applicable to project commissioned under this Control Period.
