Sub :- Release of power supply on priority basis to agricultural consumers - “ KRISHI – VIKAS – III SCHEME”.
The total number of agricultural consumers in the State, though is maximum among all other State Electricity Boards, the number of prospective agricultural consumers who have completed all the formalities, including payment & submission of Test Report, is also considerably large. Any abnormal delay in getting power supply sometimes results in increase in tendency to obtain the same illegally, resulting in undesired strain on our Distribution System and also adversely affects the “Transmission & Distribution Loss “ in the system. There is also consistent demand from the prospective agricultural consumers for expeditious release of power supply against payment of capital cost, instead of only normative Service Connection Charges payable as per the prevailing provisions.
In view of the above and as approved by the Board vide Item No. 8 dated 26/10/2005, it has been decided to introduce a scheme “KRISHI – VIKAS –III SCHEME ” which will facilitate the prospective agricultural consumers to get the power supply quickly. The salient features of the said scheme are as follows.
- The Scheme will be called as “KRISHI-VIKAS-III SCHEME” consumers having connected load of
i) upto 5 HP and ii) above 5 H.P. and upto 15 H.P. will be eligible for the said Scheme.
- The Scheme will be implemented as per the following schedule:
