DERC HEARING

At the outset chairman explained that hearing is for multi tarriff and not enhancement of rates.
You are aware that we are being crushed under the weight of enhancement of power rates.
CAG AUDIT AND OTHER POINTS MADE BY OUR DEAR PRESIDENT WERE REITERATED BY ME and i made further points regarding power purchase.
since 1901, delhi has undergone several experiments like privatisation, DSEB, under MCD as DESU, then again DVB AND FINALLY PRIVATISATION..
DIESEL AND THERMAL PLANTS WERE ADDED and for quick start we had gas turbines.
BUT none bothered to phase out old plants or to rejuvinate them.
NTP ERECTED DADRI, AND BADARPUR FOR DELHI.
DUE TO POLITICAL PRESSURES WE KNOW HOW MUCH DELHI IS GETTING.
IN 1980, DESU PROPOSED SETTING UP POWER PLANT AT BAWANA, BUT THIS PLANT HAS BEEN ABNORMALLY DELAYED AND HENCE NEED FOR PURCHASE OF COSTLY POWER.
EXISTING 220KV RING AROUND DELHI WAS MEANT TO CATER 1000MW POWER and hence need for 400kv transmission llines and substations.
Delhi has been hoodwinked by all. The casual outage is responsible for forced power cuts and unreliable quality of power supply.
DELHI IS CAPITAL OF INVERTORS AND NOISE GENERATING GENERRATORS.
So, we are being told that authorities are helpless to hold price line.
be ready for another hike.
