Andhra Pradesh hikes tariff for industrial users by 5%
The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has increased tariff for HT consumers by an average of 5% for FY2015-16.
Tariffs for general industrial consumers was increased by 5.1% across the various voltage supply levels. Consumers connected to 11 kV network will now be required to pay Rs 6.02/kWh instead of Rs 5.73/kWh they payed last financial year. Consumers with connections at 33 kV and 132 kV or above will pay Rs 5.57/kWh and Rs 5.15/kWh, respectively.
Seasonal industries will have to pay the highest tariffs. For consumers with 11 kV connections tariffs have been increased from Rs 6.90/kWh to Rs 7.25/kWh. These consumers can, however, receive electricity at a reduced ‘time of day’ tariff of Rs 7.07/
kWh between 6 PM and 10 PM. No such consolation is, however, available for consumers with 33 kV connections. With an increased of 4.9%, these consumers will pay Rs 6.59/kWh and ToD tariff of Rs 6.62/kWh. Consumers with 132 kV or higher connections will get power at Rs 6.33/kWh and at Rs 6.20/kWh between 6 PM and 10 PM.
Ferro Alloy industry continues to enjoy the lowest tariff amongst the industrial sector. Consumers with 11 kV connections will pay Rs 5.68/kWh and those with 33 kV and 132 kV or above connections will pay Rs 5.23/kWh and Rs 4.81/kWh, respectively.
All other industries excluded from the above three classifications will have to pay high tariff of as much as Rs 7.25/kWh.
Fixed charges for all industrial consumers have been increased by 6% to Rs 371 per KVA.
