- The capacity of the solar photovoltaic source should be less than or equal to the load that is sanctioned for the consumer.
- Customers whose sanctioned loads are more than 5 KW will be subject to net billing.
- Customers with sanctioned loads ranging from one kilowatt to five kilowatts have the option to use net metering.
Application for a tariff change
The registered customer will be required to fill out an application for a change in tariff on plain paper, explicitly indicating the tariff category and the purpose of consumption, giving their Consumer No., and submitting the application at the corresponding Regional Office.

FAQs
What should I do if I want to put up an air conditioner in my house?
Obtain your consumer number from your most recent utility bill and the air conditioner’s capacity by sending an application to the Commercial Department of your regional office. This information will be used to generate a bill for the additional security deposit. Afterwards, the AC can be installed, subject to the replacement of the metre and/or the strengthening of services.
If my address and name are incorrect, how can I fix them?
You’ll need to fill out an application and include your most recent bill, your consumer number, and any necessary documentation, such as a picture ID card, to prove your identification.
Do I have to pay an extra Security Deposit (SD) if anything happens?
In April of each year, the Security Deposit is recalculated based on the previous year’s usage. In the bill for the month of April, you will see a statement of your SD account. Additional SD must be deposited if the maintained SD is greater than the SD ‘held’ amount.
What factors go into determining the amount of the security deposit?
Basically, a consumer’s security deposit is three times the average bill amount for the reference financial year. It will be decided by the amount of weight that is attributed to an applicant’s profile when determining the SD.
