    Electricity Charges Will Increase Further In Kashmir: PDD

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Notwithstanding the public resentment against the hike in monthly electricity bills, the authorities at the Power Development Department (PDD) on Thursday said the charges will increase further as the installation of LT cables and smart meters will display consumer’s actual electricity consumption.

    Alleging that many consumers use four to five times more electricity beyond their sanctioned load, news agency KNO quoted the PDD Chief Engineer (Distribution), Javid Ahmad as having said.

    “With the installation of LT cables and smart meters, the people will come to know about their actual electricity consumption as many people are sanctioned with 0.5 KV load but are using 5 KV. So, it is still way below what they are paying against the consumption,” he explained.

    Stating that the billing tariff will not remain the same indefinitely, he said power is a commodity that needs to be purchased by the government.

    Rejecting the people’s demands of switching back to their previous monthly electricity bills, the chief engineer termed those “out of question”. “People at many places protested against the installation of smart meters and LT cables, but ultimately these were installed. We have to move ahead and treat electricity as a commercial commodity,” he stressed.

    Terming the hike as “arbitrary”, the people from various localities of the Safakadal area in Srinagar on Wednesday staged a protest against the PDD.

    The protestors said they are witnessing a regular increase in their monthly power bills, and urged the authorities to restore their monthly electricity billing to their earlier tariff.

  • KPDCL Launches Afresh Massive Disconnection Drive Of Chronic Defaulters

    KPDCL Launches Afresh Massive Disconnection Drive Of Chronic Defaulters

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Taking cognizance of poor revenue realization despite providing a reliable power supply amid harsh winters, the Sub Divisions of KPDCL launched a fresh massive disconnection drive of chronic defaulters.

    In the first place, connections of only 1329 consumers were disconnected to sensitize the masses to clear their liabilities on account of electricity bills and develop habits of paying electricity bills in time.

    Presently, KPDCL is overburdened with huge arrears on account of domestic electricity dues of around 804 Cr and this sample base of 1329 defaulters had accumulated arrears to the tune of Rs 12.67Cr. The Disconnection drive has successfully realized substantial arrears as on date and is expected to be cleared soon.

    Time and again, the general public is informed of the Amnesty Scheme launched by the Govt of JK (UT) for its domestic electricity consumers with large outstanding dues, wherein a consumer can pay his outstanding bill in maximum 12 easy monthly installments.

    It is impressed upon all the consumers of KPDCL with huge electricity bill outstanding dues that this successful disconnection drive shall be continued with greater force.

    Important to mention that KPDCL has come out with large infrastructure additions for providing better, more efficient and reliable power supply while keeping extremely low tariff rates to its consumers.

    Although the Department has played an active role in motivating and facilitating revenue realization by way of social awareness of judicious electricity use and timely payment of electricity bills, still a large percentage of KPDCL consumers are hesitant in clearing their long outstanding electricity dues.

    All consumers in general and defaulters, in particular, are advised to clear their electricity outstanding dues or avail Amnesty Scheme without further delay and help KPDCL to avoid the inconvenience to consumers by the act of disconnection of their power supply.

  • Snowfall Disrupts Electricity In Kashmir Parts; KPDCL Says Only Four 33KV Lines Under Fault

    Snowfall Disrupts Electricity In Kashmir Parts; KPDCL Says Only Four 33KV Lines Under Fault

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The fresh snowfall has disrupted the electricity supply in many parts of Kashmir, especially in northern districts while the authorities in Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) Monday said that only four 33 KV lines are under fault stressing that all the 33 KV feeders will be charged by evening.

    Quoting an official statement, news agency KNO reported that at present 14 feeders of 33 KV lines, 215 11 KV feeders and other tap lines were under fault due to snowfall.

    “Due to heavy snowfall during the intervening night of 30th Jan, electric supply to many areas of Kashmir Valley got disrupted. The load of the whole valley dipped below 850 MWs during the early morning hours of 30th Jan, 2022.”

    The statement added that out of total 33 KV feeders, 14 were under fault along with four 33 KV Taplines which affected the power supply mainly to Sopore, Kupwara and Handwara.

    It added that a few portions of District Budgam and of District Anantnag were also affected due to outage of four of 33 KV lines out of 14.

    “In addition to that, around 215 11 KV feeders were under fault due to heavy snowfall.”

    “From early Morning, Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Ltd. field teams under the able guidance of MD, KPDCL Yasin.M.Choudhary were mobilized to rectify the faults.”

    It added that despite the continuous snowfall in the region and braving the extreme freezing temperature, the field teams of KPDCL started patrolling the faulty lines and were able to bring up the load of Kashmir Valley to around 1590 MWs by 3 PM.

    “It is pertinent to mention that at present only four 33 KV lines which specially feed to Sopore Area of District Baramullah and few areas of Bijbehera are under fault and by evening all the 33 KV lines will be charged. Out of all the 11 KV feeders only 154 feeders remain out due to the faulty status of four 33KV lines.”

    MD, KPDCL is himself closely monitoring the situation and assures the public that all the feeders will be up and live. This is the first time that such a quick restoration has happened since the incorporation of KPDCL, it said.

    Managing Director has also praised the patience shown by the public towards the corporation, that may have been affected by the disrupted electric lines that were under faulty since morning and assures the public that field team of KPDCL wont rest till all the feeders are up and running.
