Provided also that in case power supply position or the load of such consumers, seeking open access, changes substantially, the Commission may review the Cross Subsidy Surcharge as and when required.

| S | is the cross subsidy surcharge; |
| T | is the retail tariff payable by the relevant category of such consumers; |
