P/073/2017 Sri. Mambram Divakaran, Kannur.
The appellant is a Low Tension consumer bearing consumer number 9197 under Electrical Section, Pinarayi, Kannur District. The tariff assigned to this connection is LT VI F and the sanctioned connected load in the premises is 18340 Watts. The appellant had applied for additional connected load of 56 kW for the newly constructed floors of the four storeyed building having the height of 16 metres. The respondent has directed the appellant to construct the internal distribution network, including the service line, transformer, switch gear etc at his cost. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (NR) by filing a petition in OP No. 159/2016-17. The Forum dismissed the petition with a direction that the respondent shall arrange a joint inspection with the petitioner in the premises and expedite the processing of the application for additional load as per Regulation 49 of Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014 vide order dated 20-05-2017. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In this case, it is noted that the appellant is the owner of the High rise building having a LT connection No 9197 and requires additional load, in the extended multi storeyed building having four floors. From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at I take the following decisions on the reliefs sought above by the appellant. For additional electric load (Power) demanded, the consumer is bound to act as per the Regulations made under Electricity Supply Code, 2014, i.e. under clause 49(4) and 49(5), which requires the installation of an exclusive transformer, in case for a High rise building, irrespective of the load demand. That being a specific rule, the contentions of the appellant does not deserve merit and therefore he is found liable to provide an exclusive transformer for meeting his additional load demand. After obtaining scheme approval from the Electrical Inspectorate and submitting to the respondent, the consumer shall take steps for installing a separate Transformer of suitable capacity and complete other works, for catering the power load for the LT service connections of the High rise building, at his cost. The respondent shall prepare a demand on the estimate cost of work at their end for giving supply to the appellant and serve, at any rate within a period of 7 days from the date of receipt of intimation regarding the scheme approval by the Electrical Inspector and carry out the works on remittance of the estimate cost by the appellant. The respondent shall take proper action to provide the connection without any further delay. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The order dated 20-05-2017 of CGRF (NR) in OP No. 159/2016-17 is upheld. The Appeal Petition filed by the consumer, Sri. Mambaram Divakaran, is decided as above and stands disposed of. No order on costs.
