A resident welfare association had petitioned the Commission to allow water treatment and sewage treatment electricity connections under the domestic tariff, rather than the commercial category
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has rejected a plea by Eden Park Residents Welfare Association, Siruseri, to categorise electricity service connections for a water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant and life safety fire hydrant pumping system under the domestic electricity tariff category (LT-IA). In its petition, the Association said it has 3 metered connections, one each for a sewerage treatment plant, water treatment plant and fire hydrant pumping system. Till August 2018, these connections were billed under the domestic category (LT-lA) as applicable for other common usage services like lights, water pumps and lifts. The Association said since August 2018, Tangedco has changed the billing for these three connections to Commercial (LTV) tariff, citing TNERC’s last tariff order which restricted common supply under domestic tariff to services only like common lighting, water supply and lifts.More Related News
