NESCO has proposed power factor penalty to be levied
on the following categories of consumers.
LT category
1. LT Industrial (M) Supply
2. Public Water Works and Sewerage pumping >22 KVA
HT Category
3. Specified Public Purpose
4. General Purpose <110 KVA
5. HT Industrial (M) Supply
In this connection we would like to know whether these
consumers have been provided with static meters to
measure power factor directly.

• NESCO 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.
• NESCO 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.

NESCO 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.
NESCO 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.
NESCO should submit a plan for further reduction of crosssubsidy 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. NESCO also should submit revenue

NESCO should submit T-6 Format (Upto Dec, 09).
It is observed from SLDC online data from 15th January,
2010 to 7th February, 2010 that NESCO 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 20.55
MU more than its entitlement. This has an UI impact of
Rs. 6.81 cr. NESCO may explain reasons of such overdrawal 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 NESCO, then
annual saving of energy would be about 405 MU resulting
in less drawal of 78 MW in evening peak hours from the
State Grid. NESCO may intimate the status of
implementation of Bachat Lamp Yojana at this acute
shortage of power under which State is passing through.
