there shall not be any reduction in generation). For any fall in grid frequency, generation from the unit should
increase as per generator droop upto a maximum of 5% of the generation subject to ceiling limit of 105% of
the MCR of the unit having regard to machine capability”.
(6) In Regulation 5.2(f)(iii) of Part 5 of the Principal Regulations, the words "Gas Turbine/Combined Cycle
Power Plants" shall be deleted.
(7) The first sentence of Regulation 5.2(h) of Part 5 of the Principal Regulations, shall be substituted as under:

operation of units whether running on full load or part load, and shall ensure that there is margin available
for providing Governor action as primary response. In case of gas/liquid fuel based units, suitable
adjustment in Installed Capacity should be made by RLDCs/SLDCs for scheduling in due consideration of
prevailing ambient conditions of temperature and pressure vis-à-vis site ambient conditions on which
installed capacity of the generating station or unit(s) thereof have been specified:
Privided that scheduling of hyfro stations shall not be reduced during high inflow period in order to
avoid spillage:
Provided further that the VWO margin shall not be used by RLDC to schedule Ancillary Services.”
(9) The following proviso shall be added at the end of Regulation 5.2 (g) of Part 5 of the Principal
Regulations :
"Provided that periodic checkups by third party should be conducted at regular interval once in two years

4(b) The original beneficiary may also provide a standing consent to the ISGS for sale of power in the
market for specified duration and specified quantum.
4(c) The ISGS shall not sell the power of any beneficiary in the market without its express consent.
4(d) The beneficiary shall not be allowed to schedule the power for which consent has been given by
the beneficiary to the ISGS except in cases where power is still available with the ISGS after sale
through bilateral and collection transactions.
4(e) The ISGS shall intimate the details of the share of power of individual beneficiaries sold in the
market to the respective RLDC.
(5) The following provision shall be added as first proviso at the end of Regulation 6.5.3.19 of Part 6
Principal Regulation:
"Provided that the generator or trading licensee any other agency selling power from the generating
station or unit(s) thereof may revise its estimated restoration time once in a day and the revision

is advised by the generator to be the first one.”
7. A New Regulation shall be added after Regulation 6.5 of the Principal Regulations as under:
"6.5 (A) Scheduling and commercial settlement of energy exchanged under Ancillary services
including Spinning Reserves and URS:

commercial settlement of Reserves Regulation Ancillary Services.
(b) In case of spinning reserves, the scheduling and commercial settlement of energy exchanged shall
be as per the Detailed Procedure to be notified separately by the Commission in consultation with
POSOCO (NLDC).
(c) In case of sale of share of original beneficiaries in market by ISGS for which consent has been
given, the realized gains shall be shared between the ISGS and the concerned beneficiary in the
ratio of 50:50 or as mutually agreed by the ISGS and concerned beneficiary in the billing of the
8 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4]

following month. This gain shall be calculated as the difference between selling price of such
power and fuel charge including incidental expenses.
Provided that such sale of power by ISGS shall not result in any adverse impact on the original
beneficiary(ies) including in the form of higher average energy charge vis-à-vis the energy charge
payable without such sale:
Provided further that there shall be no sharing of loss between the ISGS and the beneficiary(ies):
Provided also that, the liability of fixed charge in such cases shall remain with original beneficiary(ies)
as determined in accordance with the Tariff Regulations notified by the Commission from time to time.
