P/078/2017 Sri. Tomy C. Vadayil Kottayam
The appellant, Sri Tomy C. Vadayil, M/s Toms Pipes, is an industrial consumer with No. 14329 of Electrical Section, Thengana. The consumer had applied for enhancement of his ‘connected load’ from111 kW to 155 kW and to reduce contract demand from 123 kVA to 99 kVA on 13-01-2017. But his request was denied by the respondent for the reason that the increase in connected load above 150 kVA is not possible under an LT service connection. Being aggrieved with the said decision, the consumer filed petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara, on 06-02-2017. The CGRF dismissed the Petition on the ground that a consumer cannot claim to be retained as a LT service connection, when his ‘connected load’ has crossed the limit of 100 kVA (up to 150 kVA allowed to those as on the date of implementation of Electricity Supply Code, 2005) and hence found the petition devoid of merits. Here, the consumer has demanded his connected load to be increased to 155 kW, but at the same time he promises to limit his maximum demand (use of electricity) with in ‘contract demand’ of 99 kVA itself. Still aggrieved by the decision of CGRF vide order No. OP No. 361/2017 dated 19-06-2017, the appellant has filed the Appeal petition before this Forum on 10-07-2017. From the analysis done and the Findings and conclusions arrived at, I take the following decision. The consumer may either change over to HT category, if he requires 155 kW load or continue in the present connected load under LT category. He shall remove the excess load and may give application in Annexure 11 for reduction in contract demand, if he so desires. Having decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The appeal Petition filed by the appellant vide appeal petition No. P/078/2017 is disposed of with the said directions issued. No order on costs.
