Distribution open access - BEST objects the entry of Tata Power

MumbaiThe Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport undertaking (BEST) has objected to any attempt to have open access to power in its distribution area of the Mumbai city and has also asked the government not to allow Tata Power to build distribution networks in the area. The BEST deposition came during a hearing of a petition filed a month ago by Guruprasad Shetty of The Association of Hotels and Restaurants (AHAR) before the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), asking for power from Tata Power Company, failing which the commission should cancel their licence.

According to Tata Power lawyers, the MERC should prevail upon BEST to allow it to wheel its power through the BEST network, failing which it would put up its own networks in the city.
“Presently, we pay Rs 8.50 per unit to the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking, 130 per cent more than Tata Power rates (Rs 3.85 per unit). Any further hike in power tariff would force us to increase prices,” said  Guruprasad Shetty, Spokesperson, Association of Hotel and Restaurant. The hotel industry incurs nearly one-third of its expenses from power tariffs and any further increase — the BEST has proposed a 40 per cent hike for 2010-11 — will reflect on the menu card.

MERC has directed the BEST and Tatas to file their affidavits on the issue and has also asked for opinions from consumers. The next hearing will be on December 28.

What is this goondaism by BEST?BEST is adopting worst monopoly practices whose victims are the consumers.

Tata power cancelled its plan to spend 2000 crore to build seperate distribution network ,as MERC,under open access norms, has allowed to use existing network even though owned by other company. This decision of MERC was purely in the interest of consumers.

Now BEST neither allowing parallel network by Tata nor allowing to access to its nework, this is GOONDAISM by BEST which is exploiting the customers like Guruprasad Shetty.

MERC ORDER BEST EITHER TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY WITH THE RATE OF TATA POWER OR ALLOW TO USE ITS NETWORK.

IF NOT AGREED, CANCELL THE DISTRIBUTION LICENCE OF BEST.
