Development charges will be levied, depending on whether the consumer is served through overhead lines or the cable.
If a domestic consumer comes under the first category, they will have to pay ₹2,000, up from ₹400 (for single phase) and ₹1,400 (three phase).
With respect to a three-phase connection, the unit of the charge will be the load utilised, measured in terms of kilowatt, instead of the present arrangement of service connection. If the consumer is served by cable, they will have to pay ₹7,200 per KW.
During 2018-19, around 29 lakh new connections were given. The earnest money deposit, which a new industrial unit will have to place with Tangedco, will go up from ₹600 per KW to ₹2,000 for low tension category and to ₹3,100 per KVA (kilovolt ampere) from ₹800 for high tension consumer.
Inspection and testing of the electricity system at a consumer’s place, will hereafter be charged ₹580 for a domestic single-phase and ₹1,920 for domestic three-phase whose load is above 18.3 KW. With respect of a high tension category, it will be ₹3,810.
A senior official of Tangedco said the revision in the charges was carried out in 2004. Chairperson of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission, M Chandrasekar said a public hearing would be held.
