MPERC's FY2026-27 ARR order for MP's 3 discoms/MPPMCL fixes HT tariff schedules (Synchronization, EV charging, Metro Rail) and retains ToD, PF and green-energy charge structure
Filing of Petition for Determination of Revised ARR for FY 2026-27 and Tariff Proposal or Distribution & Retail Supply Business of Distribution licensees namely Madhya Pradesh Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd., (East Discom), Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd., (Central Discom) & Madhya Pradesh Pashchim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd.,. (West Discom) and MP Power Management Co. Ltd., (MPPMCL) for FY 2026-27 under the tariff principles laid down in the \\\\\\\"Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Tariff for Supply and
The three MP discoms and MPPMCL jointly filed a petition seeking determination of the revised Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) and Retail Supply Tariff for FY2026-27, covering sales forecast, energy balance/availability, power purchase cost, RPO, capex, O&M, depreciation, RoE, wheeling/cross-subsidy/additional surcharge, green energy tariff, FPPAS and retail tariff design, under the Commission's tariff-determination regulations. Public notices were issued and stakeholder comments invited before this order.
- Approved HV-7 (grid synchronization for generators/CPPs) energy charge at Rs10.29/unit (1029 paise) for all HT voltage levels; drawl beyond 15% of plant capacity billed at 2x normal energy charge
- Approved HV-8 (EV/E-rickshaw charging & battery swapping stations) energy charge at Rs7.44/unit, with 20% rebate in solar hours (9am-5pm) and 20% surcharge in non-solar hours; no minimum charges
- Approved HV-9 (Metro Rail traction/non-traction at 132kV/220kV) tariff of Rs310/kVA/month fixed charge plus Rs5.70/unit energy charge, with standard PF penalty and excess-demand provisions
- Retained ToD rebate/surcharge for HV-2/3/4/5: 20% peak surcharge (6-9am & 5-10pm), 20% solar-hour rebate (9am-5pm), 7.5-10% seasonal off-peak night rebate; HV-6 Bulk Residential gets a lower 10% peak surcharge
- Fixed Green Energy Charges (over and above normal tariff): Rs0.30/kWh for self-certification use, Rs0.40/kWh for Wind/Other RE and Rs2.61/kWh for Hydro under the 2021 co-generation/RE Regulations
- Retained excess-demand billing (1.3x fixed charge up to 130% of contract demand, 2x beyond), PF incentive/penalty slabs, and standby charge at 0.25x applicable tariff for Green Energy Open Access consumers
- Discoms to implement approved HT tariff schedules (HV-1 to HV-9) and general terms/conditions for FY2026-27 billing cycles
- Billing systems to be aligned to ToD slabs, minimum-consumption proration methodology, and excess-demand (>120% CD) billing as illustrated in the order
- Discoms to continue compliance reporting on directives issued in the FY2025-26 Tariff Order (Section A7)
- Green energy, standby and net/group-net metering settlements to follow MPERC 2023 (OA/Banking) and 2024 (GIRES) Regulations
- No change in tariff/tariff structure or minimum charges permitted without prior written Commission approval
- Public suggestions/stakeholder comments on the petition placed on record (Section A8) for future proceedings
- • HT/C&I and industrial consumers get clear ToD price signals - up to 20% peak surcharge vs 20% solar-hour rebate - favouring load-shifting and solar-hour captive/RE consumption
- • EV charging/battery-swapping developers get a dedicated, relatively low HV-8 tariff (Rs7.44/unit) with a further 20% solar-hour rebate, improving daytime-charging economics
- • RE/green energy open access and captive users must budget Green Energy Charges (Rs0.30-2.61/kWh) and standby charges (0.25x applicable tariff) as add-ons over normal HT tariff
- • Generators/CPPs planning grid synchronization or auxiliary power draw face a high Rs10.29/unit tariff with a 2x penalty beyond 15% of capacity - relevant for RE/storage project design and grid-support arrangements
The extracted text is mainly the tariff-schedule/terms-and-conditions annexure rather than the ARR quantum, revenue gap or overall tariff hike, so we can't assess the headline cost impact. However, the retained ToD design (20% peak/solar spread) and EV/green-energy tariff specifics are actionable for C&I load-shifting, EV infra and RE-OA cost modelling now. Developers should pull the full order for Table 7/8 ARR and revenue-gap figures before finalizing FY27 tariff assumptions.
