2. In 2014, Intra State Open Access Regulations were introduced by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) providing for Captive Generating Plants (CGPs) and Option for parallel operation and for availing such facility, operation charges of Rs.30,000/- per month was made as a condition. The said charge was made applicable only to the generators availing parallel operation with grid, without availing open access. Although the Intra State Open Access Regulations were introduced in 2014, no charge was levied on the part of the petitioner - Company, since it was not made applicable to them. According to the petitioner - Company, they had orally informed the Authority concerned that the Company was not operating parallel operation and requested them to remove the Bi-Directonal Meter, which was erected in the year 1999. On the basis of their request, it appears that the Bi-Directional Meter was also removed and in that place, an Uni-Directional Meter was fixed on 10.09.2015, for the purpose of calculating the power used by the petitioner - Company.
