Consumers having Load Factor above 75% and upto 85% will be entitled to an incentive in
the form of a rebate of 0.75% on the Energy Charges for every percentage point increase in
Load Factor from 75% to 85%. Consumers having a Load Factor above 85 % will be entitled
to a rebate of 1% on the Energy Charges for every percentage point increase in Load Factor

applicable to the consumer.
This incentive is applicable only to consumers in the Tariff categories EHT I and HT I:
Industry, EHT II and HT II: Commercial and EHT V and HT V: Public Services - (A) and

The Load Factor incentive will be available only if the consumer has no arrears with the

bill. However, it will be available to consumers in whose case payment of arrears in
instalments has been allowed by the Distribution Licensee, and such payment is being made
as scheduled. The Distribution Licensee shall take a commercial decision on the schedule for
such payments.
The Load Factor is to be computed as follows:
Load Factor = ______Consumption during the month in MU__________

Maximum Consumption possible during the month in MU
Maximum consumption possible = Contract Demand (kVA) × Unity Power Factor

× (Total no. of hours during the month, less actual interruptions hours recorded on meter for
billing period)
Page 221 of 224

In case the consumer exceeds its Contract Demand (including during the non-peak hours,
i.e., 22:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs.) in any particular month, the Load Factor Incentive will not be
payable to the consumer in that month.
Penalty for exceeding Contract Demand

In case a consumer (availing Demand-based Tariff) exceeds his Contract Demand, he will be
billed at the applicable Demand Charge rate for the Demand actually recorded, and also be
charged an additional amount at the rate of 150% of the applicable Demand Charge (only for
the Demand in excess of the Contract Demand).
Under these circumstances, the consumer shall not be liable for any other action under
Section 126 of the EA, 2003, since the penal additional Demand Charge provides for the
penalty that the consumer is liable to pay for exceeding his Contract Demand. In case a
consumer exceeds his Contract Demand on more than three occasions in a calendar year, the
action to be taken would be governed by the provisions of the Supply Code Regulations.
In case any consumer exceeds the Contract Demand on more than three occasions in a
calendar year, the action taken in such cases would be governed by the Supply Code.
Additional Demand Charges for Consumers having Captive Power Plant

For consumers having a Captive Power Plant, additional Demand Charges at the rate of Rs.
20/kVA/month shall be payable only on the extent of the Stand-by demand component and
not on the entire Contract Demand. The additional Demand Charges will be levied on the
Stand-by component only if the consumer’s demand exceeds his Contract Demand.
Consumers’ Security Deposit

As specified under Regulations 13 of the MERC (Supply Code Electricity Supply Code and
Standards of Performance of Distribution Licensees including Power Quality) Regulations,
2021, Consumer shall pay Security Deposit and will be entitled for interest on such Security
Deposit.
Definitions

and the consumer.
Billing Demand - LT Tariff categories:

Monthly Billing Demand will be the higher of the following:
