Can we leave it to the Regulators to protect our interest .......
Dear Friends,
You would remember that we had filed an application for Impleadment in the NDPL hearing at CERC some time back.
The hearing is on 22nd. Dec. 10.15 AM (Sharp) at the CERC office on 4th Floor, Chandralok Building, Janpath, New Delhi.
We should try and take out time and be there. You may have noticed that our constant vigil has started to show some results by way of steps being taken by DERC to pull up the DISCOMS. We now need to raise the bar and look into the functioning of the CERC ........ leaving the Regulators be, has not worked as they were happy making polite noises and never questioning the blatant mal practice the DISCOMS were indulging in.
What can be a bigger fraud on the consumer in allowing DISCOMS to purchase power from what ever source at whatever price and bill it to the consumer. We thought Financial Prudence in purchasing cheapest power available must have been a part of the Distribution Contract.
DISCOMS were merrily splurging in buying power on the Golf Course Circuit while Cheaper Power was available at the Power Exchange. DERC, instead of penalising them dangle a carrot of giving incentives for buying Cheaper Power. Can we really leave it to the Regulators to protect our interest?
Please take some time out and be there.
Warm Regards,
Rajiv Kakria
