In a move that could bring relief to many residents affected by power related issues in developer areas like DLF, Ardee City, Unitech, Sushant Lok, Palam Vihar, among others, Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) is planning to bring an amended Act regulating single point connections.
According to earlier reports, residents of developer areas had filed a complaint at the CM Window, alleging that they were being made to pay higher electricity bills, as the builders had taken a load of only 5 MVA against the required 15 MVA, and thereafter, were dividing the load among 2,500 houses against the 1,500 houses officially sanctioned.
They also alleged that the developers were availing a 4 per cent discount for bulk supply without passing it on to residents. On top of that, the developers were making the residents pay an extra 12 per cent service charge.
According to the electricity board, the discom supplies power to the developer (single point) in these areas, and then the developer distributes it among residents.
