to a maximum of 30 paise per unit 25% of energy charges was being There is no surcharge for not This is the prime factor which mooted levied as surcharge fixing capacitors for KVAH billing This is one of the reason for opting For Ferro industries, 50 unit per KVA There is no deemed Energy alternative billing method by Ferro is the deemed energy charges charges consumers of AP Multiple consumers are This has resulted in Virtual HT for LT connected to single transformer installations. One suitable capacity transformer for and metering is being done on LT Transformation loss is loaded to the one installation and metering done at side of Transformer consumer. the HT side of the transformer Interference in metering equipment, theft of energy by these consumers are eliminated in AP This is also reason for mooting the kVAh 80% of the Contract Demand is the 75% of Contract Demand is the billing method. This also increases the minimum billing demand minimum billing demand realization rate in AP With the situation prevailing in the State of Karnataka, BESCOM placed following facts before the Hon’ble Commission for proposing KVAh billing. Out of the total consumption, 36% of energy is sold to HT/EHT consumers, 24% of energy is sold to IP category and 23% of energy is consumed by LT-domestic consumers. The existing meters support immediate conversion from KWh billing to KVAh billing. In this background, BESCOM propose KVAh billing for all HT installations in 1st phase and for and Commercial installations having connected load of 20HP and above in the subsequent phase. BESCOM does not intend to take benefit from shifting of KWH billing to KVAh billing but proposes for tariff neutralization. KVAh billing requires some recapitalization: Since from the invention of electricity, kW and kWh are fixed as measurement of electricity demand and electricity consumption respectively. Drastic technology developments have taken place in electricity metering but kWh& kW remained as valid units for electricity energy &demand measuring.
