Soon, shell out extra and get 24/7 non-stop power supply

Power hungry? Soon you may be able to get 24X7 power supply — by just paying double the regular tariff.

The government is working on a policy to develop energy-efficient “smart” electricity grids with meters, which will effectively allow for dual-pricing.

A senior government official told HT that people who want assured uninterrupted power supply may have to pay a premium of 50% to 100% over and above the normal rate. “Basically, the rates will vary from state to state, but they might have to pay 50-100% more,” the official said.

“The grid will allow the load of a consumer to be split into ‘essential’ and ‘non-essential’ categories,” the official said, adding the government could come up with guidelines in the next few months.

Last December, power minister Piyush Goyal had said the government was aiming to provide 24x7 power to all by 2019, which would require an investment of $400 billion (Rs 24 lakh crore). Of this, $50 billion would be for transmission and distribution. The government is also looking to ramp up the annual coal output to 1 billion tonnes and solar power output to 100 gigawatt, the minister had said. 

“If the government is really serious about this, it is a game-changer,” said Sambitosh Mohapatra, partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers India. “But the government needs two basic things in place — an identified set of buyers and properly modelled finances. If the government cannot identify buyers, banks will be unwilling to lend money, and the government will itself have to fund, effectively subsidising the scheme.

DERC vs. GNCT of Delhi - CIC - Anil Sood

Dear All

I am pleased to inform you all that Hon'ble High Court  in Writ petition filed by DERC appearing in the trailing mail, has refused to stay the order passed by Hon'ble CIC (Attached) wherein DERC was directed to Suomotto disclose the issues framed, as mandated under section 4(1)(c) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, by it on its web site before asking suggestions from General Public and extend the date of receiving suggestions and thereafter hold public hearing.

However, the DERC instead of complying with the said order rushed to the High Court. The Hon'ble High court after hearing both the parties directed the DERC to appear before CIC on 6th May  2015 and make submissions. The High Court further directed the CIC to pass an order by 8th May, 2015. The Court has listed the matter to be heard on 13th May 2015.

This is the first positive step towards people's participation in meaningful governance. We must appreciate Hon'ble CIC for taking cognizance of such a serious/blatant  non compliance by the Regulator. 

Regards

Anil Sood

Certification of Repair & Maintenance Expenses (R&M) and Administration and General Expenses (A&G)

Dated 27th April, 2015

Secy, 

DERC,

Malviya nagar,

New Delhi

Subject : Advertisement by DERC says : Engagement of a Chartered Accountant (CAG Empanelled) for Certification of Repair & Maintenance Expenses (R&M) and Administration and General Expenses (A&G) for BRPL and BYPL for FY 2004-05 and FY 2005-06 

Dear Sir, 

We understand very well that a CAG Empanelled Chartered Accountant does not mean that its the certification by CAG. Anyhow, i would like to ask a few questions as below :

1. Why DERC requires such Certification of Repair & Maintenance expenses as well the Administration & General expenses for the years 2004 - 05  &  2005 - 06 and that too in April 2015 i.e. after 10 years ?

2. Does it mean that the Statutory Auditors have not checked above heads ?

3. In such a case how DERC has relied upon the rest of the expense heads and why DERC has not asked for the Certification of Purchases, Sales, Surplus sales, AT&C Losses as well the Distribution losses for all these years ?

4. If the above figures are yet to be certified, does it mean that the True Up is not done till date for various heads of expenses ? 

5. In such a case, how we can rely upon the Statutory books of accounts of BRPL & BYPL & how the DISCOMs can ask for the review of Power Tariff regularly since 2004 - 05 onwards while even the last Audit report clearly states that : Managements responsibility for the financial statements : Management is responsible for the preparation of their financial statement that give a True & Fair view of the Financial position, financial performance and cash flow....
