Tariff Schedule – HV - 6

33 kV FERRO ALLOY Manufacturers  

1                 Applicability:

The industries to which this tariff is applicable are as under:-
(i)         Ferro chrome and/or Ferro Silicon
(ii)        Ferro Manganese
(iii)     Silicon manganese 

This Tariff  shall apply to 33 kV Ferro Alloys Industries for power, lights, fans, coolers etc. which shall mean and include all energy consumed for factory, lighting in the offices, the main factory building, stores, canteen, compound lighting etc and the consumption for residential use therein. The contract demand shall be expressed in whole number only 

2                 Character of service:

Alternating Current, 3 phase, 50 cycles, 33 kV.

3                 Point of Supply:

The power will be supplied to the consumers ordinarily at a single point for the entire premises. 

4                 Tariff:

5                 Minimum Charge:

The demand charge on the contract demand is a monthly minimum charge whether any energy is consumed or not during the month  

6                 Billing Demand:

The Billing demand for the month shall be the actual maximum kVA demand of the consumer during the month or 75% of the contract demand, whichever is higher.

The billing demand shall be rounded off to the nearest integral figure, the fraction of 0.5 or above will be rounded to next higher figure and the fraction of less than 0.5 shall be ignored.

7                 Determination of the Demand:

The maximum demand of the supply in each month shall be four times the largest number of kilovolt ampere  hours delivered at the point of supply during any consecutive 15 minutes during the month as per sliding window principle of measurement of demand. 

8                 Rebate / penalties:

Load Factor Concession :

Power Factor Incentive :

If the average monthly power factor of the consumer increases above 95%,the consumer shall be paid the incentive, for each one percent increase by which his average monthly power factor is above 95%, at 1% (one percent) on total amount of bill under the heads of “Demand Charge” and “Energy Charge”. 

Power Factor Penalty:

If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 90 percent, the consumer shall, for each one percent by which his average monthly power factor  falls below 90 percent, in addition  pay 1% (one percent) on total amount of bill under the  heads of “Demand Charge” and “Energy Charge”.    

If the average monthly power factor of the consumer falls below 85 percent, the consumer shall, for each one percent by which his average monthly power factor falls below 85 percent, in addition pay 2% (two percent) on total amount of bill under the heads “Demand charge” and “Energy Charge”.

Should the power factor fall below 70%,  the Board reserves the right to disconnect the consumer’s installation till steps are taken to improve the same to the satisfaction of the Board; this is, however, without prejudice to the levy of penalty charges for low power factor in the event of supply not being disconnected.

For  this purpose, the “average monthly power factor” is defined as the ratio of total Kilo Watt hours to the total kilo volt Ampere hours recorded during the month. This ratio will be rounded off to two figures, 5 or above in the third place of decimal being rounded off to the next higher figure in the second place of decimal.

Notwithstanding what has been stated above, if the average power factor of a new consumer is found to be less than 90% at any time during the first 6 (six) months from the date of connection, the consumer shall be entitled to a maximum period of six months to improve it to not less than 90% subject to following conditions :-

This period of six months shall be reckoned from the date on which the average power factor was found for the first time to be less than  90%.

In all cases, the consumer will be billed the penal  charges for low power factor, but in case the consumer maintains the average power factor in subsequent three months (thus in all four months) to not less than 90%, the charges on account of low power factor billed during the said six months period, shall be withdrawn and credited in next monthly bills.

The facility, as mentioned herein, shall be available not more than once to new consumers whose average power factor is less than 90% at any time during 6 months from the date of connection.  Thereafter, the charges on account of low average power factor, if found less than 90%, shall  be payable as by any other consumer.

9.  Time of Day Charges :

This condition is applicable to all HV users for different periods of the day i.e. normal period, peak load and off-peak load period. The maximum demand and the consumption recorded in different periods shall be billed according to the rates below. All HV consumers shall be required to give in writing to MPSEB their option for peak hour use or for Off peak hour use. This shall be done immediately and kept in MPSEB’s records. Only consumers who opt for Off-peak hour use will be entitled for concessional rate of 90% of Normal rate, for use of energy during 10 PM to 6 AM. However, if such a consumer, who has opted for Off peak hour consumption, is found using grid energy during peak hours, he shall be required to pay penal charges as shown below:-  

TOD Charges :  
(a) For Consumers who opt for Peak hour use

(b) For Consumers who opt for Off Peak hour use

10        Additional Charge:

For Excess Demand :

The consumers should at all times restrict their actual maximum demand within the contract demand. In case the actual maximum demand in any month exceeds the contract demand, the foregoing tariffs shall apply only to the extent of the contract demand and corresponding units of energy. The demand in excess of contract demand and corresponding units of energy (hereinafter referred to as “excess supply”) shall be treated as power supplied and availed separately for billing purposes. The excess supply so availed , if any, in any month shall be charged at twice the normal tariff applicable to the consumer and while doing so other provisions of electricity tariff (such as tariff minimum charge, power factor, etc.) will also be applicable on aforesaid excess supply,  unless otherwise provided specifically .

For the purpose of billing of excess supply, the billing demand and the units of energy  shall be determined as under:- 

Billing Demand/Contract Demand:

The demand in excess of the contract demand in any month shall be the billing demand/contract demand of the excess supply.

Units Energy:

The units of energy corresponding to kVAs of the portion of the demand in excess of the contract demand shall be-  

Where,  
TU- denotes total units supplied during the month,  
CD-denotes contract demand, and  
MD-denotes actual maximum demand.
