SOUTHCO has proposed demand charges to be levied in
terms of KVA on the consumers having CD >70 KVA
<110 KVA (both HT and LT). Whether these consumers
are having static meters to record demand in KVA.
SOUTHCO has suggested that the full cost of single
phase meter is to be recovered through security deposit.
OERC in its RST Order has prescribed cost of meter to
be recovered through meter rent. The Licensee may
clarify how it shall continue to collect meter rent in cases
where it proposes to recover cost of meter through
security deposit. Further, because of the fact that certain
consumers are not able to pay the full cost of the meter
through security deposit, OERC has introduced the
concept of meter rent. In such situation how is the
licensee proposing to collect the full cost of the meter
through security deposit.

SOUTHCO has proposed to raise the service connection
charges from the existing Rs.500/- per connection to
Rs.1000/-. The Licensee may please provide the basis of
proposed service connection charges with necessary
calculation.
SOUTHCO is required to submit each individual bill of
HT and EHT consumers for FY 2009-10 (i.e. upto
December, 2009) with necessary computations of average
rates thereof to enable the Commission to verify the same
with the average rates per unit as approved in the Tariff
Order 2009-10.
SOUTHCO should submit a plan for further reduction of
cross-subsidy payable by the HT and EHT consumers.
The Licensee should submit the revenue outgo due to
TOD benefit, improvement of power factor, prompt
payment rebate for FY 2008-09 and 2009-10. SOUTHCO

SOUTHCO should submit T-6 Format (Upto Dec, 09).
It is observed from SLDC online data from 15th
January, 2010 to 7th February, 2010 that SOUTHCO
has not adhered to the protocol issued by the
Commission on Power Regulation dtd. 14.01.2010 and
violated the implementable day ahead schedule of SLDC
as a result of which the licensee has overdrawn during
these days totaling to 14.145 MU more than its
entitlement. This has an UI impact of Rs. 5.768 cr.
SOUTHCO may explain reasons of such over-drawal
and non-adherence to Commission’s protocol on Power
Regulation.
As per a tentative estimate, if Bachat Lamp Yojana of
BEE is adopted in mission mode throughout
SOUTHCO, then annual saving of energy would be
about 380 MU resulting in less drawal of 58 MW in
evening peak hours from the State Grid. SOUTHCO
may intimate the status of implementation of Bachat
Lamp Yojana at this acute shortage of power under
which State is passing through.
