Uniform service charges to bring clarity to LT, HT power connections: TGSPDCL CMD

Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Jitesh V. Patil said the uniform service line charging system for low-tension (LT) and high-tension (HT) electricity connections would provide consumers with clarity on the charges payable in advance, while eliminating uncertainty arising from case-by-case estimation of service line costs. He thanked the TGERC for introducing what he described as a fair and transparent system for industries, commercial establishments, households and other consumers.

Addressing a media conference at the TGSPDCL headquarters on Wednesday, Mr. Patil said the estimated cost of HT connections earlier varied depending on the location of the service, distance over which the line had to be extended and transformer capacity. The new system provides fixed charges based on the sanctioned load, he said.
