  2. Recovery of Charges by kWh Single Part Tariff : Charging only the actual amount of energy (measured in kWH) supplied to the consumer. The simplest form of charging and completely understood by all consumers does not have the scope of over recovery of the charges by the distribution companies. 9/13/2014 9/13/2014 2 2

  3. Recovery of Charges by MDI MDI Tariff : Charging based on the Demand Recorded along with the energy consumed by the consumer. The Demand based Tariff suitable for high tension consumers should not be forced on the low tension consumers who do not have any provision to maintain high load factor . Hence there is over recovery of the charges by the Distribution Companies from consumers with low load factor. 9/13/2014 9/13/2014 3 3

  4. Recovery of Charges by kVAh kVAh billing : Charging for apparent energy {real + reactive} consumed by the consumer. The cost of Automatic power factor correction panel / capacitors form the part of the Distribution System. kVAh billing allows over recovery of the charges from Low Tension consumers who are not capable to maintain high power factor. 9/13/2014 9/13/2014 4 4

  5. Recovery of Charges by TOD TOD Tariff : Charging based on the energy consumed by the consumer at a particular time of the day. The Tariff which allows the Distribution Companies over recovery of the charges from consumers at the peak load period. 9/13/2014 9/13/2014 5 5
