GURUGRAM: The DHBVN has made up our minds to construct basic commercial feeders for connecting clusters of industries falling on rural home feeder and blended urban feeder, equipped they fulfil the prescribed conditions.
"It has been directed that a comprehensive proposal with regard to all such cases be put up by the chief engineer (operations) before December 31, 2017, for appraisal and efforts be made to complete the work by March 31, 2018. The combined load of the cluster of industries should not be less than 1 mega volt ampere (MVA) and there should be six or more industrial consumers situated in the clusters," mentioned a DHVBN spokesperson.
Apart from this, there will have to be no defaulting amount exceptional towards them. In case of a low-tension (LT) commercial client falling within the cluster and fed through distribution transformers (DTs) supplying power to blended load, a separate DT could be equipped by DHVBN for the consumer. Right of way will have to be to be had for building of the feeder and spare vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) or enough house for set up of additional VCBs be to be had at the feeding station.
The spokesperson mentioned that height load exemption charges (PLEC) could be applicable on the high-tension (HT) consumers throughout the height load hours after transferring in their connections to the newly proposed commercial feeder as already applicable for commercial consumers falling on urban/commercial/independent commercial feeders. He mentioned that the case could be processed and licensed by the chief engineer (operations) involved on a case-to-case basis, relying upon the benefit of the case. The payback duration would now not be greater than 24 months.
He mentioned that it had come to the notice that there have been some clusters of industries right now being fed either through blended urban or rural home feeders. Due to this, those top consumers face unwanted power cuts which now not handiest adversely impacts their production, but in addition ends up in loss of income to the discom.
