[Resolved]  Punjab State Power Corporation Limited — Non reduction of load

Address: Jalandhar, Punjab

I requested for a load reduction of my office space from 60 kw to 8 kw on 16.11.2013. The PSPCl, Partap Bagh, Jalandhar office sent letter to flying squad on 25.12.2013 and then a reminder on 14.01.2014 but the same was not inspected. After knowing the pending status, we ourselves took the pains and got the CT meter inspected from flying squad on 17.02.2014 for which a report was submitted to partap bagh office on 18.02.2014 who on 18.02.2014 changed the meter to 3 ph meter and advised us that next month onwards the minimum bill will be for 8 kw. However, since then also no action has been taken and we have been receiving minimum charges bill for 60 kw( after consuming none units of the load as the space is locked for the last 7 months). Now we have been informed that it will take 2-3 months more to get the minimum charges bill revised to 8 kw.

Sir under which law, PSPCL is charging such a huge minimum charges when the actual meter is of 8 kw and the CT meter was deinstalled on 18.02.2014 and who will be responsible for such excessive charges when there becomes any default because we have not used even a single unit of load since 13 sept, 2013. Whether, all these bills will be refunded to us or kindly confirm as to PSPCl takes how much to reduce load when all the industry from Punjab is running away and with this act of ours, Punjab will be saving huge power loads and will become surplus state interms of power.
