Executive Summary:
This document contains the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission's (DERC) Fourth Amendment Regulations of 2019, concerning the Supply Code and Performance Standards. The regulations, effective from the date of publication in the official Gazette, amend the 2017 Principal Regulations. The key change pertains to the transfer of electricity connections, outlining procedures and responsibilities for both licensees and consumers.
Key Points / Main Content:
Transfer of Electricity Connection:
* An applicant wanting to transfer an electricity connection must apply to the Licensee in the prescribed format.
* If the Sub-Registrar Office shares seller and buyer data after property ownership transfer, the distribution licensee will process the connection transfer without requiring a separate request or additional documents.
* If the property has multiple owners, the connection will be transferred in the name of the first owner. Other owners can request to add their names with supporting documents.
* Deficiencies in the application will be communicated in writing and must be resolved before acceptance.
* The connection transfer will not be approved unless all recoverable dues are fully paid. No dues arrears can be recovered from the new consumer after the transfer.
* The name change should be completed within two billing cycles after acceptance or dues clearance, whichever is later.
* In case of disputes or if the name change was based on data from the Sub-Registrar Office, the distribution licensee may request documents from the new consumer or the Sub-Registrar Office.
* Regulations, including terms and conditions for new electricity connections, apply to the new consumer and the Licensee.
* If the name change is not effected within two billing cycles, the consumer is entitled to compensation as per Schedule I of the Regulations.
Impact Analysis:
Consumers:
* Impact: New procedures for transferring electricity connections, potential for faster transfer via Sub-Registrar data, and compensation for delays.
* Action Required: Follow the prescribed application process, provide necessary documentation if requested, and clear any outstanding dues.
Distribution Licensees:
* Impact: New responsibilities for processing transfer requests, utilizing data from Sub-Registrar Office, and adhering to timelines for name changes.
* Action Required: Update internal processes to accommodate data from Sub-Registrar Office, ensure timely processing of transfer requests, and pay compensation for delays.
Sub-Registrar Office:
* Impact: Sharing data with distribution licensees.
* Action Required: Ensure correct sharing of seller/buyer data, CA numbers, and relevant information to the distribution licensee.
