Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) has updated electricity load norms for residential and commercial areas to ensure fair and accurate charges. The norms vary based on city classifications and property types. Consumers will be billed based on their prescribed load, benefiting those with lower consumption. These changes aim to align with actual consumption patterns, encourage responsible energy usage, and enhance billing transparency. The revisions cater to different property sizes and classifications, creating a more equitable system while maintaining the quality of electricity supply.
Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) has made significant revisions to the electricity load norms for both residential and commercial areas in the city. This move aims to provide more reasonable and accurate electricity charges based on the actual usage and requirements of different types of consumers.
The revised electricity load norms vary based on the classification of areas and the type of properties. These classifications are referred to as Class A, Class B, and Class C cities, with different load norms for each class. For instance, in Class A cities like Faridabad - Ballabgarh complex and Gwalpahari - Balola Bandhanwari complex, the load norms range from 4kw to 2kw for residential areas. Similarly, in Class B cities like Hisar, Palwal, Hodal, Rewari, Dharuhera-Bawal, the load norms vary.
The size of the property plays a crucial role in determining the electricity load. For example, group housing flats with smaller areas are prescribed lower load limits, while larger apartments have higher limits. Industrial plots are also differentiated based on green rating and non-green rating.
One of the main advantages of the revised norms is that consumers will only be billed for the minimum amount based on their prescribed load. This means that if their electricity usage is below the prescribed limit, they will not be charged for the higher load. This change is expected to benefit a wide range of consumers, including group housing and commercial users.
The revisions have been carefully designed to align with the actual consumption patterns and the needs of different types of consumers. This not only ensures fair billing but also encourages responsible energy usage. The changes are expected to have a positive impact on consumer bills, reducing fixed charges for those whose consumption falls below the prescribed load.
Ultimately, the aim of these revisions is to create a more equitable and transparent system of electricity charges that reflects the diverse energy needs of various consumers. By tailoring the load norms to different property sizes and classifications, DHBVN seeks to provide accurate billing and encourage efficient energy usage while also enhancing the overall quality of the electricity supply.
