the 110 kV HPCL feeders from Trombay Generation Station
Bus-Bar to HPCL installation at its premises for use of
electricity are an essential part of the TPC Distribution
system. The Tribunal observed that these feeders from
their inception were being used for supplying electricity to
HPCL. The Tribunal was also of the view that an
arrangement for stepping down electricity at consumers
installation cannot be treated as a ‘sub-station’ as defined
in Section 2 (69) of the Electricity Act. Following the
judgment in OPTCL, the Tribunal observed that there is no
embargo that the distribution network of a distribution
licensee cannot include a line of 110 kV voltage level.
Issue No.2 was also answered in favour of TPC-D. The
Tribunal declared that 110 kV feeders are integral part of
the distribution network of TPC-D and that on the basis of
voltage defined in the CEA Regulations 2010, the status of
the licence cannot be changed from distribution to
transmission. The Tribunal directed the Commission to re-
determine the wheeling charges at EHT level 110 kV by
accepting the submission of HPCL that it was made to pay
higher wheeling charges.
