I don’t remember the details of the Transco Tariff approved by ERC earlier this year, but if indeed the average transmission cost is P1/kWh, as indicated here, then that is very very high.
The California ISO posts transmission costs here. For June 2006, it’s about the equivalent of P0.16/kWh.
Now this is admittedly an off-the-cuff comparison and there may well be details that impact such a comparison. But a 6:1 ratio leaves a lot of room for “details.”
