ELECTRICITY SUPPLY REGULATIONS
(SECTION- V)
TARIFFS |
 |
81. CHARGES FOR SUPPLY:
Supply of electric energy to various categories of consumers is
chargeable at the relevant Schedule of Electricity Tariffs. The particular schedule which will be applicable for a new consumer is
usually determined before the connection is actually given and is intimated to
the prospective consumer at the time of issue of Demand Notice. This rate is, however, subject to review on the basis of the nature and
the quantum of load actually connected. In
accordance with Clause 26 of the
Conditions of Supply, the Board//Licensee further reserves the right at any
time to amend or to alter any of the schedules of tariff with the approval of
PSERC. The rates of tariff given hereunder are for the year 2003-2004 as
approved by PSERC. General
conditions of Board/Licensee's tariffs are as under:-
81.1 Fuel Surcharge: The tariffs are subject to levy of fuel surcharge as may be
decided by the Board from time to time.
81.2 Exclusive of Duty and taxes: The tariffs are exclusive of
electricity duty, taxes and other chares levied by the Government or other
competent authorities from time to time which are payable by the consumers in
addition to the charges levied as per the tariff.
81.3 Single Point Delivery: Unless otherwise agreed to or specified,
the tariffs are applicable to one point of supply and at a single voltage. Supply at other points or at other voltages shall be separately billed.
81.4 Subject to condition of supply and schedule of service Charges: The tariffs are subject to the provisions of the conditions of supply
and schedule of general and service charges relating to the supply of
electricity or any amendment/modifications thereof as are enforced from time
to time.
81.5 Monthly Minimum Charges: The
monthly minimum charges specified in various schedules exclude meter rent,
electricity duty, taxes and other charges/rebates and surcharges which shall
be charged separately depending upon the character of service, tariff and
other clauses of the various schedules as applicable.
81.6 Contract Demand:
81.6.1 Contract demand shall mean the maximum demand in KVA sanctioned to the
consumer and the same shall be worked out from sanctioned load in KW by using
power factor of 0.88. In case of
new connections, the consumers demanding contract demand higher than 60% of
the connected load, shall be charged one time contract demand charges as
under:-
|
1.
|
For Contract Demands above 60% and up to 80% of
connected load
|
=
|
Rs.200/KVA
|
|
2.
|
For Contract Demands above 80% and up to 100%of
connected load
|
=
|
Rs.300/KVA
|
In case of existing consumers requiring extension of load, the above
charges shall be leviable on the basis of contract demand of the aggregated
connected load or only on the contract demand for extended load whichever is
minimum.
The above charges shall not be leviable in respect of H.T. Bulk Supply
Consumers and Industrial consumers getting supply at 33 KV and above.
Note:-In case of SP or MS consumers if the load after extension in
load falls under LS category, one time contract demand charges shall be worked
out after taking his existing demand equivalent to 100% of the sanctioned load
by using power factor of 0.88.
81.6.2 In case of HT Bulk Supply Consumers, the sum of the rated capacities of
the 11 KV distribution transformers in KVA shall be taken as contract demand for
the purpose of levy of monthly minimum charges. No consumer shall effect any change in his contract demand without prior
approval of the Board. Consumer
availing supply at High tension shall indicate the rated capacities of all the
step down transformers in his premises and shall not increase the capacity of
step down transformer(s) without the approval of the Board.
81.6.3 For Sugar Mills, Paper Mills, Textile Mills etc., which are/shall be
meeting part of their load by running TG set(s), the contract demand will be
related to the capacity of the consumer's transformer(s) feeding electric supply
to the mills/premises. The minimum
contract demand shall not be less than the total capacity of transformer(s)
installed by them for feeding the load normally fed from Board/Licensee's supply
system.
81.7 The applicability of category of tariff under Schedules LS, MS or SP will
be based on the total industrial and general load( i.e. bonafide factory
lighting and colony lighting). If a separate 11 KV connection has been released
for colony load, the total load shall be sum of industrial load and bonafide
factory lighting load only. Also for
determining total load, fraction of half and above of a KW should be taken as 1
KW and fraction below half should not be accounted for.
81.8 Factory Lighting and Colony Supply( SP, MS and LS):
81.8.1 Metering equipment for the whole supply( i.e. the supply for the
industrial load, bonafide factory lighting load, residential quarters load and
street lighting load etc.) shall normally be installed on the H.T.Side at the
point of commencement of supply, wherever applicable. However, where separate single point 11 KV connection is released for the
colony load, metering equipment for the supply of industrial load and bonafide
factory lighting load and colony load shall be installed on H.T.Side separately
at the point of commencement of supply.
81.8.2 In case of H.T, consumers( 11 KV and Above) if metering is being done at
L.T. side to record the supply due to non-availability of metering equipment,
the energy consumption and Maximum Demand of such consumers shall be increased
by 3% to account for losses. This
shall be applicable to all categories of consumers.
81.8.3 All consumption for bonafide factory lighting and for residential
purposes for the factory staff quarters shall be added in the consumption of
industrial load, when it is metered separately. However, where separate connection is provided for the colony load only
bonafide factory lighting consumption shall be added in the consumption of
industrial load.
81.8.4 Unlike L.S. consumers, the industrial and general load of M.S. and S.P.
consumers is required to be metered separately and accordingly separate meters
should be installed.
81.9 L.T. Surcharge /H.T./E.H.T. rebate .
81.9.1 For Large supply consumers where supply voltage is 11 KV but supply has
been given at 400 volts, then a surcharge of 20% as provided under Schedule L.S.
is leviable on the energy charges worked out by the application of tariff. A consumer getting supply at 33/66KV will get a rebate of 3%
and that getting supply at 132/220 KV will get a rebate of 5%. on consumption
charges or on monthly minimum charges whichever becomes applicable. High Voltage
rebate will be allowed to all categories of consumers except Railway Traction.
81.9.2 If Supply under schedule MS is allowed at 11 KV, a rebate of 7.5% as
given in Para 83.3.3 of MS tariff is to be allowed on the energy charges worked
out by the application of tariff. This
rebate of 7.5% is not admissible for the bonafide factory lighting, residential
quarters and street lighting consumption etc.(which should be metered
separately) and billed under Para 83.6 of Schedule MS.
81.10 Monthly Minimum Charges viz-a-vis general consumption:
Energy Charges for bonafide factory lighting and residential
quarters/Colony etc. as billed under Para 82.6 of Schedule L.S. under Para 83.6
of Schedule M.S. and under Para 84.4 of Schedule S.P. are adjustable against the
monthly minimum charges payment as the monthly minimum charges are based on sum
total of industrial and general load.
81.11 Seasonal Industries:

consumption is recorded on lower voltage side of consumer's transformer instead
of high voltage side, the maximum demand and energy consumption for billing
purpose should be computed by adding 3% extra on account of transformation/cable
losses. The maximum demand shall be
increased by 3% so as to determine the leviability or otherwise of demand
surcharge.
82.4 Demand assessment and Power factor:
The maximum demand for any month shall be defined as the highest average
load measured in kilovolt Amperes during 30 or 15 consecutive minutes period of

the bill amount a surcharge of 1% for each 1% by which the monthly average power
factor falls below 88% to 80%, the surcharge shall be 2% for each 1% by which
monthly average power factor falls below 80%. For the purpose of power factor surcharge, the bill amount will mean the
energy charges on the consumption in a month, but not the bill amount payable on
monthly minimum charges. The bill
amount for low power factor surcharge shall also include the surcharge or rebate
as applicable under paras 82.3.4 and 82.3.5 of Schedule LS Large Industrial

The monthly average power factor of the plant and apparatus owned by the
consumer shall not be less than 0.90. The monthly average power factor shall mean the ratio expressed as
percentage of total KWH to total KVAH supplied during the month. The ratio shall be rounded up to two figures.
82.4.1.1 Low Power Factor
Surcharge:
If the monthly power factor falls below 0.90, the consumer shall pay on
the bill amount a surcharge of 1% for each 0.01 decrease in the monthly average
power factor below 0.90 to 0.80, the surcharge shall be 2% for each 0.01
decrease of monthly average power factor below 0.80.
82.4.1.2 Incentive:

case power factor is not mentioned on the TG set , the same shall be taken as
0.88.
82.8 Demand Surcharge for exceeding the contract demand:
If the consumer in a month exceeds the contract demand, such excess shall
be charged at an additional rate of Rs.250/- per KVA irrespective of number of
defaults. This additional demand
surcharge shall be without prejudice to the Board's right to take such other
appropriate action as may be deemed necessary to restrain the consumer from
exceeding his contract demand.
In the event of MDI being defective and computed maximum demand more than
the contracted demand, no surcharge for increased demand so computed, for the
previous period shall be levied provided the consumer's connected load is
verified immediately and found within sanctioned load.
82.9 Load Surcharge for unauthorized connected load:
If the connected load of a consumer exceeds the permissible limits over
and above the sanctioned connected load, the excess load shall be unauthorized
load. Such excess of connected load shall be charged load surcharge at an
additional rate of Rs.750/- per KW for each default. This load surcharge for unauthorized load shall be an additional
surcharge notwithstanding that demand surcharge has been levied or not. The additional load surcharge shall be without prejudice to Board's right
to take such other appropriate action as may be deemed necessary to restrain the
consumer from exceeding his connected load. The unauthorized load so detected
shall be got removed. However, if
the unauthorized extension is only to the extent of 25% of the sanctioned load
in case of green category industries
in non-residential areas and 10% of the sanctioned load in other cases subject
to a maximum of 250 KW, the consumer shall not be required to pay load surcharge
and his connection shall not be disconnected. The unauthorized load above 10% and up to 25% of the sanctioned load, so
detected is to be got regularized by the consumer.
82.9.1 Compensation for damage:
Any consumer who exceeds his contract demand or connected load or
increases the capacity of the step down transformer(s) will be liable to
compensate the Board for all damages occasioned to its equipments or machinery
by reason of this default. Without
prejudice to this right, the Board may also cause the service of the consumer to
be disconnected without any notice.
82.10 Force Majeure Applicable for Arc/Induction Furnaces:
In the event of lockouts due to labour problems, failure/damage of EHV
Power transformer( 33 KV and above) failure on the part of PSEB to supply power,
fires, earth quakes, floods, tempests and lightening directly resulting into
closure of industry or normal supply hours reduced through specific orders of
the Board for power regulation purposes thereby effecting the normal working of
the industry, the consumer shall be entitled to proportionate reduction in
monthly minimum charges provided that such closure or reduced working hours
continue for at least seven days consecutively in a billing cycle month directly
as a consequent of any of the above conditions with the approval of load
sanctioning authority. In the event
of relief being allowed in monthly minimum charges under above conditions, the
consumers shall however be required to pay monthly minimum charges as applicable
to general industrial large supply consumers
