DERC has issued today a Public Notice in News Papers about the comments to be submitted on the Plea of DISCOM's. In this Advertisement, DERC as well Petitioners have gived certain Proposals also, that include :
Commission's Proposal Includes :
Time of Day ( TOD ) metering : Time of Day metering of 9 hours on Industrial & Commercial units ( lowered from 300 kw to 100 kw ). These units will have to pay a surcharge of 10% for Peak hours of 15.00 to 24.00 hours & will get a Rebate of 10% for non peak hours ( if they work at that time ) of 24.00 to 6.00 hours for April to September. Similarly for Oct to March the Peak hours are 17.00 to 23.00 & Non Peak hours 23.00 to 6.00, while the surcharge is 10% & the Rebate is just 5%. In our opinion the cost of producing or providing services is going to INCREASE if these proposals are applied & it will result into the additional burden on the Consumers. It further says that time frame for extending the TOD tariff to cover most of the Electricity consumption in the city would be about 5 years.

Petitioner's Proposals include :
Uniform Fixed Charges till the Load of 5.0 kw : It has been suggested that instead of 2 slabs of Fixed charges under 5 kw, the Domestic category should be re structured so that uniform fixed charges are levied till the load of 5.0 kw. In our opinion it will enhance the burden of Fixed charges on those consumers who are presently having loads of upto or lesser than 2 kw.
Tariff applicable for connections provided for common services in floor type constructions in plotted structure : It has been suggested that the independent connections being applied by residential consumers for common services like LIFTS, PARKING etc. in floor type constructions in plotted structures should be billed at the highest slab tariff of Domestic category. It will definitely enhance the budgets of those living in the floor type houses.
