Single Point Supply to Employers’ Colonies Group Housing Societies, Residential Colonies, Office cum

Residential Complexes and Commercial Complexes of Developers, and Industrial Estates/IT Park/SEZ

Regulations, 2020.

Notification

The 22nd April, 2020

Statement of Objects and Reasons

The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission in exercise of powers conferred on it by Section 61(d) and

Section 181 of the Electricity Act, 2003 and all other powers enabling it in this behalf had framed the Regulations,

Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (Single Point Supply to Employer’s Colonies, Group Housing Societies

and Residential or Commercial cum Residential Complexes of Developers) Regulations, 2013 (hereinafter referred to

as the Principal Regulations or Single Point Supply Regulations, 2013) notified on 9th January, 2013 for laying down

the provisions/procedures for supply of electricity at a Single Point to the Residential Colonies of Employers, the

GHSs and Residential or Residential cum Commercial Complexes of Developers which are bounded with walls and

have restricted entry, for further supply of electricity to the members/employees and other services/establishments

inside their premises by the GHS/Employer/Developer.

The Commission later observed that the objectives of Single Point Supply Regulations, 2013 are largely

achieved if the electricity consumers in such Employer’s Colonies, Group Housing Societies and Residential or

Commercial cum Residential Complexes of Developers switch over to electricity supply through pre – paid meters by

the distribution licensee. Thus, the 1st amendment to the Single Point Supply Regulations, 2013 was considered and

Employers’ Colonies, Group Housing Societies and Residential or Commercial cum Residential Complexes of

Developers who opt for electricity supply through pre – paid meters were excluded from the purview of the Single

Point Supply Regulation and notified vide Regulation No. HERC/ 27 /2014 on 14th October, 2014.

Pursuant to the notification of the Principal/Single Point Supply Regulation and its first amendment and

implementation thereof, few petitions were filed by the GHS/RWAs involving developers and Distribution licensees

where in it has been noticed that there are few issues faced by the residents in such colonies regarding metering,

billing and inadequacy in the supply position as well as in- adequate electrical infrastructure installed by the

Developers.

In Order to get the feedback from the consumers the Commission held interactive session with RWAs of

Group Housing Societies, Residents and Developers at Gurugram and Faridabad. The Commission on hearing the

difficulties expressed by the participants in the meetings, asked them to make submissions in this respect in writing as

well.

From the averments made by the participants during the interaction held and the written submissions made by

them, the Commission framed the following issues for consideration.

(i)

The developers have not constructed adequate electrical infrastructure as per approved plan in some of

the residential complexes with the result, the residents are not getting uninterrupted and quality power

supply.

(ii)

The RWA/Developers /Facility Managers in case of certain Single Point Supply Connections are not

charging the residents as per the regulations, instead wrong tariff is being charged i.e. highest slab tariff

to bulk supply domestic category etc., other consumers like NDS consumers, shopping complex, offices

etc. are being charged as per their own rates and terms and conditions.

(iii)

Few RWA s /Developers are charging Administration Charges @ 12% on energy consumption

charges which is contrary to the provisions of the Regulations.

(iv)

The Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges have also been linked with electricity charges and in

case of non-payment of CAM charges, the electric supply of the Residents is disconnected and

TDCO/RCO fee is levied as per their own rates.

(v)

There is no separate metering for recording the consumption of NDS, Common facilities services and

the loads other than the residents in some Societies/Residential cum Commercial Complexes.

(vi)

The GHS/Developers/RWAs have not installed the meters as per standard specifications of the

Distribution Licensee at the premises of individual consumers and other loads like NDS and Common

Services etc.

(vii)

The RWA/developers do not ensure that the meters getting defective or dead stop are replaced

immediately resultantly such residents and the NDS Load are billed on average basis.

(viii) The Residents raised the issue of meter accuracy and testing/ sealing and submitted that the meter

installed by the developers are running fast and need to be tested/ recalibrated.

(ix)

The Developer/RWAs requested to make provision in the Regulation for recovery of electricity charges

along with DG supply and Common Area Services Maintenance Charges (CAM) through prepaid

meters.

Commission observed as under: -

(i)

That in order to ensure continuity and reliability of supply in such Societies/Commercial

Complexes/Shopping Malls/Industrial Estates, SEZ, the Electrical infrastructure has to be necessarily in

place as per approved electrification plan, prior to the release of electricity connections.

(ii)

In case of supply on Single Point, the tariff charged by the society/employer should not be higher than

the rates determined by the Commission and the developer/RWA, are estopped from recovering the

tariff in variance with the tariff determined by the Commission.

(iii)

The Commission in its various order(s) has made it clear that common area maintenance charges

(CAM)/backup supply charges should not be clubbed with the licensee’s supply charges and the

connection ought not be disconnected in case the consumer has paid the charges for grid supply.

(iv)

Further, the Commission is of the view that for proper accounting of energy, no consumption points in

the Colony/complex be allowed unmetered. The meter deployed be of standard specifications, accuracy

and healthiness of the metering is to be ensured. The defective or dead stop meter should be replaced

expeditiously to avoid billing on average bases and adjustments in bills later.

(v) Commission further observed that recovery of electricity bills, DG supply charges as well as electricity

charge for the common area supply may be recovered by the supplier through prepaid meter

arrangement, provided, these are separately indicated in the bill.

Further, Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited also filed a petition HERC/PRO-66 of 2017 seeking

amendment in the existing Single Point Supply Regulation.

The Commission prepared the draft Regulations, Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission “Single Point

Supply to Employers Colonies, Group Housing Societies, Residential colonies, Commercial complexes/Shopping

Mall, Industrial Estate/IT parks/SEZ of Developers” Regulations, 2019 and invited comments, objections from the

various Stake holders/ after putting it in public domain, through web site and Newspaper by 28.11.2019. The public

hearing was held on 06/02/2020 and after consultative process, the following regulations are framed.

the users/ residents, common services, NDS and other category of loads if any in such complexes as per

the terms and conditions specified in the Regulations.

6.4

Billing of Single Point Supply

For the purpose of billing of Single Point Supply the energy consumption and combined

maximum demand of Employer Colony/GHS/Residential -cum-commercial Complex/Commercial

complex will be recorded by Single Point Supply meter. A rebate of 4% in case of supply at 11 kV and

5% in case of supply at higher voltage in the energy consumption will be admissible to cover the

expenses that may be incurred by the GHS/ Employer in meeting their obligations such as individual

Metering, Billing, Collection of charges from individual Residents/Users etc. Provided in case of

Single Point Supply to Commercial Complex, Shopping Mall, a rebate of 1% in their energy

consumption will be admissible to cover the above such expenses.

Further, in case of single point supply to Industry/IT parks /SEZ the billing will be on the

consumption of electricity recorded by the meter provided at single point supply.

The energy consumption after allowing the rebate as above and the maximum demand recorded

by Single Point Supply meter will be billed at the tariff as applicable to Bulk Supply (Domestic)

category for GHS/Employers colonies and other relevant category tariff i.e. NDS /bulk supply

/Industrial tariff in case of Commercial Complex /Users Associations and the Group of Industries:

In case of Employer Colony/GHS the bulk supply (domestic) tariff shall be charged on the

consumption of domestic loads and the common services loads including the load of lifts, water and fire

pumps. Provided the common services load is in the ratio of 15:85, with domestic load. In case the

common services load is more than the ratio prescribed 17.64% of domestic load the excess load shall

be charged at the NDS tariff along with other NDS load if any:

Provided further, that all other terms and conditions as applicable to Bulk Supply (Domestic)

category as laid down in the Schedule of Tariff notified and as amended by the Commission from time

to time shall be applicable for Single Point Supply unless otherwise provided for in these Regulations.

In case an office complex or other non-domestic loads are also existing within the GHS/Colony,

the apportionment of energy (after allowing the rebate) and combined maximum demand for billing

under Bulk Supply (Domestic) category and NDS category shall be as detailed in the Annexure-2.

In case of Single Point Supply to categories covered under the definition of appropriate

government, Users Association and Group /Cluster of Industries, the tariff as applicable to bulk supply

/NDS /Industries shall be chargeable respectively.

6.5

The Distribution Licensee may accept part payment against energy bills for Single Point Supply not

less than 80% of the amount due as per the energy bills raised in GHS/Employer’s Colonies. The

GHS/Employer shall, however, ensure that pending payment is cleared in such manner that outstanding

arrears at any time are not more than one month old failing which the connection shall be disconnected

by the licensee. However, in case of part payment the late payment surcharge, as applicable, shall be

payable on the unpaid amount.

6.6

(a) The Employer/GHS/Users Associations will not charge the Residents/Individual Consumer,

Common Services and other category loads in the Colony/GHS/ Complex for electricity supplied, at a

Commission from time to time.

(b) In case any Employer /GHS/Users Association charge the individual consumers with in its complex

for electricity supplied at rates higher than the Domestic supply tariff/ other relevant category tariff (as

per usage of electricity) approved by the Commission, the aggrieved Residents/Members shall have the

right to jointly file a complaint against such GHS/Employer/Users Associations before the

CGRF/Ombudsman as per these Regulations for Redressal of their grievances.

6.7 The Single Point Supply meter will be read and billed on monthly basis after completion of each

calendar month for proper application of tariff as the

reading prior to completion of month or post

completion of the calendar month may affect the bulk supply (Domestic) tariff slab applicable on

Single Point Supply to Employer’s Colonies / GHS.

The Employer /GHS shall update the occupancy status (nos. of flats/dwellings occupied as on

each billing date) in writing to the licensee for proper billing to avoid any wrong application of tariff for

Single Point Supply.

6.8 In case the DG backup supply has also been made available for the Residents, the Employer/GHS

/Developer/Users Associations will be free to charge the residents separately for the same either in the

form of annual charges for backup supply or based on individual consumption of such supply by each

Resident/user by providing separate/dual register meters for backup supply. It will, however, be

mandatory for the Employer/GHS /Developer/Users Associations to install a meter at their cost, to

record total energy generation by such backup supply generator, which will be got duly tested and

sealed from the Distribution Licensee by payment of requisite charges.

Subject:

Undertaking as per Regulation 4.1(b) of HERC (Single Point Supply to Employer’s Colonies

Group Housing Societies, Residential Colonies, Office cum Residential Complexes and

Commercial Complexes of Developers, and Industrial Estates/IT Park/SEZ) Regulations, 2020.

Dear Sir,

It is stated that we do not opt for Single Point Supply for our GHS/ Commercial cum Residential Complex and

want individual connections to the members/residents as well as for common services/other non domestic loads as per

option-2. We, hereby, give our acceptance to the following:

(a)

The Distribution Licensee shall provide and install a single reference meter at the incoming supply

point at its own cost to measure consumption of electricity within the GHS.

(b)

The readings of reference meter and all individual meters within the GHS shall be taken on the same

day for each billing cycle by the Distribution Licensee in the presence of the security guard and a

representative, if any, of the GHS/ Developer/ RWA.

(c)

The total energy consumption of the electricity recorded at the incoming supply point of the GHS as per

reference meter (say ‘A’) shall be compared with the total electricity consumption of all the

members/employees residing in the GHS as per their individual meter readings plus the consumption

for the common services /other non-domestic loads as per readings of relevant meters (say ‘B’) for each

billing cycle. An energy difference of up to 4%, in case of supply up to 11 kV, and up to 5%, in case of

supply at higher voltage, between ‘A’ and ‘B’, to be worked out as {(A-B) x 100}/A, shall be

permissible towards transformation and/or LT losses. In case the difference in energy consumption as

above for any billing cycle works out to be more than 4%/5%, it will be presumed to be on account of

unwarranted/unauthorized use of electricity within the GHS and the GHS/ Developer/RWA shall be

liable to pay for the difference in energy consumption over and above 4%/5% at the rate of energy

charges as applicable for the highest slab under Domestic Supply (DS) category.

(d)

The Distribution Licensee shall raise bill for the energy difference over and above 4%/5% for each

billing period on the GHS /Developer/RWA and the same shall be payable by the

GHS/Developer/RWA. Late payment surcharge, as applicable, shall be leviable if payment is not made

within the due date. In case of non-payment of the bills for the energy difference for two consecutive

billing cycles, supply to GHS may be disconnected from the single point energy meter (reference

meter). The supply will be restored only after clearance of the dues for energy difference along with the

surcharge and applicable reconnection charges.

Annexure-2

Method of Billing/apportionment of Energy/Maximum Demand recorded by Single Point Supply Meter for

billing under Bulk Supply Domestic BS(D) category and Non Domestic (NDS) Category in case of

office/commercial complexes situated within the GHS/Colony.

In case of an office or other commercial complexes [other than covered under BS(D) Schedule] located

within the GHS/Colony, the total energy consumption after allowing the rebate of 4%/5% as per

Regulation 6.4 and the combined maximum demand for the GHS/Colony as recorded by Single Point

Supply meter shall be apportioned for billing under BS(D) category and NDS category as per the

method given below:

Let us assume:

Total domestic load inclusive of load of Lifts, water supply pumps

and fire fighting pumps

: Ld kW

ii)

Total load of common facilities for the residents

: Lc kW

iii) Total Load of office/commercial complexes located within the

GHS/Colony covered under NDS Schedule of tariff

: Lnds kW

iv) Total of domestic load and common facilities load

= (Ld+Lc)

= Lbs kW

Total Energy Consumption recorded at the Single Point Supply Meter

EC kWh

vi) Total Energy consumption to be billed after allowing rebate of

4%/5%

Ect kWh

vii) Combined maximum demand recorded at Single Point Supply Meter

MDc kW

In case total load of common facilities i.e. Lc is more than 15:85 of Ld, the load upto the ratio allowed

shall only be considered as load of common facilities to be covered under BS (D) and the balance load

shall be included in the NDS load; Provided, in case of Single Point Supply to a complex where

significant load of NDS category is served besides the bulk domestic load, separate metering for the

NDS load with in the premises shall be mandatory and the energy consumption along with the

maximum demand of such load shall be accounted for while raising the bill for the Single Point Supply

by the licensee The modified values for Lc, Lbs and Lnds shall accordingly be worked out as under:

(i) Load of common facilities to

Lc(mod) =

15/85 of Ld

be covered under BS(D) Tariff

(ii) Total load to be covered under

Lbs(mod) =

Ld+Lc(mod)

BS(D) Tariff

(iii) Total load to be billed under

Lnds(mod) =

Lnds+(Lc-Lc(mod))

NDS Tariff

Apportionment of total energy consumption, after allowing rebate of 4%/5%, and combined

recorded maximum demand for working out energy consumption/maximum demand to be billed

under BS(D) category and energy consumption to billed under NDS category shall be done as under:

(i)

(a)

Energy Consumption to be billed under

ECt ×

Lbs

Bulk Supply (Domestic) Category when

(Lbs + 1.70

Lnds)

Lc is not more than 15/85 of Ld

(b)

ECt × Lbs

(mod)

Bulk Supply (Domestic) Category

(Lbs(mod) + 1.70

Lnds (mod))

when Lc is more than 15/85 of Ld

(ii)

(a)

Energy Consumption to be billed under

ECt × (1.70 Lnds)

NDS Category when Lc is not more than

(Lbs + 1.70 Lnds)

15/85 of Ld

(b)

Energy Consumption to be billed under:

ECt × (1.70 Lnds(mod))

NDS Category when Lc is more than

(Lbs(mod) + 1.70 Lnds(mod))

15/85 of Ld

(a)

Maximum demand for Billing under

MDc × Lbs

BS(D) when Lc is not more than 15/85 of

(Lbs + Lnds)

(b)

Maximum demand for Billing under

MDc × Lbs(mod)

BS(D) when Lc is more than 15/85 of Ld (Lbs(mod) + Lnds(mod))

Where 1.70 is the factor to account for higher load factor for non domestic load (17%) as compared to load

factor of Domestic Load (10%). Due to Load factor of BS(D) and NDS load being different, it is appropriate

that For apportioning total energy consumption in the ratio of BS(D) load and NDS load, the NDS load is

notionally increased by a factor, to be worked out as (load factor of NDS) /(load factor of BS(D) load). If

load factor for NDS is taken as 17% and for BS(D) as 10%, this factor works out to 1.70.

Total electricity charges for BS(D) load and NDS load shall be worked out as under:

a) For BS(D) load

(i)

Energy Charges = Energy consumption as at 2(i) × energy

charges for BS(D)

(ii)

Fixed Charges = Maximum demand as at 2(iii) × fixed

charges per kW for BS(D)

(iii)

Total Electricity Charges = a(i) + a(ii)

b) For NDS load

(i)

Energy Charges = Energy consumption as at 2(ii) × energy

charges for NDS

(ii) Fixed Charges = Total NDS load i.e. Lnds or Lnds(mod) × fixed charges per kW for NDS

(iii)

Total Electricity Charges = b(i) + b(ii)

23000 kWh

per Single Point meter

Total energy consumption to be billed after

22080 kWh

allowing 4% rebate as per clause 4.3

Combined maximum demand

175 kW

As the load of common facilities for the residents is more than 15/85 of domestic load of 170 kW, the

load of common facilities i.e. Lc shall be taken as 15/85 of 170 i.e. 30 kW and the balance load of 20 kW (50 – 30)

of common facilities shall be included in the NDS load.

Therefore, in this case domestic load, load of common facilities and NDS load for the purpose of billing

shall be modified as under:

Ld = 170 kW

Lc(mod) = 30 kW

Lbs(mod) = (170+30)=200 kW

Lnds(mod)= 70 +(50-30) = 90 kW

Energy consumption to be billed under BS(D)
