Kerala State Electricity Board Limited has given us many opportunities to renew or adjust our connected load free. Currently the last date is 31st December 2023. The link to download the related order and Application form is given below.
This article is going to tell you why the load is renewed and how it will affect us in the future if not renewed.
First let us understand what is the connected load. Our connected load is the total amount of power that each appliance we use with electricity. For example the power taken by a fan is 100 watts and the power taken by an induction cooker is 2000 watts. The load is calculated based on the light or plug points. Or the cash deposit is fixed. So some people show less load to reduce the cd.
But this is not the problem. The fixed charge found in every bill except the house tariff is determined by our connected load. For example, the fixed charge on a commercial tariff is Rs. 70 per 1000 watts. If our load is 1001 watts, it is in the range of 2 kW. In other words, the fixed charge will be Rs. 140. Or if the load is reduced, this fixed charge will be waived.
KSEB has a vigilance unit called APTS or Anti Power Theft Squad to detect such offenses.
But the fixed charge in the house tariff is calculated according to the unit we are using. However, if our actual load is not shown, it may cause problems in the future.
This load change is required when we are renovating our house.
This process is time consuming and costly. After downloading the application , fill in the details of your connected load and submit it to the Assistant Engineer or Revenue Officer of the concerned Electrical Section Office. Remember, the last date is December 31 2023.
