1). The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission gave 50%
waiver in peak hour consumption penalties to the consumers. The A.P.E.R.C
orders were up loaded in net also. But the said directions were not
implemented by the A.P.E.P.D.C.L, Visakhapatnam and failed to give waiver to
the consumers. So, please take necessary action and pass necessary directions
to implement it and thereby do justice to the consumers.

Please consider the fact that Rice Milling Industry is purely agricultural based
Industry. Our industry always supported the Government polices in P.D.S. Rice
and other aspects. At present our Industry faced lot of problems like labour,
current, marketing etc. It is a critical time to our industry. So, the Government and
Regulatory Commissions are to provide incentives to our industry to revive
Industry, which is on the verge of collapse. Our Industry is also eligible for getting
relaxations from the power sector also on par with the poultry. The regulatory
commission may extend to the policy of maintaining same tariff rates in both
poultry and Rice Milling Industry. The relaxations are very essential to survive our
Rice Milling Industry. Number of people and families are depending in our
industry.
3) Submissions with regard to H.T. Tariff side charges for KVA: Present
charges is Rs.350/- per K.V.A /Month
Proposed Charges Rs.600/- per K.V.A / Month
The proposed tariff is highly erroneous and heavy burden to the consumers. 100%
enhancement is illegal and it is against the natural justice. The proposed
enhancement is not calculated in the proper way. Your authority failed to establish
justifiable grounds to the proposed increase in tariff rates as required under law.

4) OBJECTION FOR BOTH L.T AND H.T SIDE CONSUMERS:
As per the terms and conditions of Supply, the fixed charges are being collected per
H.P per month from the consumers. It implies the companies charged the fixed
charges for per month means 30 days per H.P. But the companies failed to supply
the power for 30 days to the consumers. But, the charges were collected for all the
30 days. It is not justified. The fixed charges may be collected only for number of
days during which power is supplied and Number in all the 30 days.
5). Objections for H.T. side_;
For the recorded M.D at one instance in a month, the Authorities are collecting the
M.D charges for the entire month from the consumer since long. But, now new
meters with latest technology are fitted. Recorded M.D and other consumption
details are available with the Authorities in a detailed manner. So, please consider
our demand to pass deem for collecting of the charges of Recorded M.D in the
period of hours or days available for which the consumer utilized,

6). L.T. Category or H.T Category side objections for imposed power factor
charges:
Presently the companies are considering power factor as 1.00 (As the consumption
readings are taken in K.V.A.H mode).The authorities have not provided new and
updated power transmission cables or underground cables. So, the electricity
companies shall bear the transmission loss but not the consumer. So, it is submitted
collecting excess power factor from consumer is not justified. So, fixation of power
factor as 1.00 is illegal.
7) Previously, the companies followed consumption billing in K.W.H method. But,
presently the companies are taking readings in K.V.A.H method is against the
provisions of the terms and conditions of supply.
8) As per the terms and conditions of supply, it is the duty of the companies to
supply the power till the entrance of the premises of the consumers.
The
companies have to bear the transmitting and transformer loss up to the point of
consumer premises. But, now the authorities are installing H.T. T.V.R rneter on
H.T. side of the transformer. So, the transformer loss is also being recorded in the
H.T. T.V.R meters. It is against the provisions of the terms and conditions of
supply. So, please rectify the procedure and lift the un necessary burden to the
consumers.
