If you don't take action now .. you may end up paying higher electricity bills .. again !!
Just a small reminder that there is a Public Hearing on Dec 6th at the YB Chavan Auditorium (Opp. Mantralaya), Mumbai - at 11 am.
This is to hear public suggestions / comments on MSEDCL's petition to increase electricity tariff in lieu of imposing second "staggering" day.
MSEDCL proposes to purchase "costly power" from Kawas/Kayakulam (at around Rs.8-9 per unit) and from Captive Power plants (at around Rs. 11-12 per unit). It proposes to distribute this expensive power through a FRANCHISEE arrangement, to Industries and other consumers
who will be charged higher tariff.
My response (already filed with MERC) is available here on the bijlee Group site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bijlee/files

I wonder how many of you (in this group) are affected by the MSEDCL's proposed hike .. and how many have filed a response.
Just goes to show that we are great at e-mailing - but poor when it comes to taking action !
More such stuff if you join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bijlee/
I can be reached at snohri2004@yahoo.co.in
Incidentally, MERC has allowed the public to send emails (instead of the cumbersome procedure it had earlier) .. something I had taken up in the MYT tariff hearings ...
Moral of the story: When you keep at it .. your chances of success are greater ...
