already I told u what my cousin told he is residing in delhi for past 4 years.what he said was except for POWER TRIPPING there were no power cuts until kejriwal became CM.now 3 hour power cuts and in summer it might become 6 hours he told me. NOW READ BELOW REPORT Get ready for power cuts in Delhi as discoms spar with govt over tariffs NEW DELHI: People in Delhi should be prepared for power cuts as electricity distribution companies battle it out with chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over tariffs. Consultancy firm PwC has submitted a report to the Delhi government that the number of breakdowns is rising and discoms do not have enough money to make proper investment. Tata Power Delhi Distribution and Reliance Infrastructure controlled BSES Yamuna Power and BSES Rajdhani Power that are claiming to have accumulated .. PwC says lower investments in distribution systems have resulted in deterioration of quality of services. Number of breakdowns in BSES Yamuna areas rose from close to 8,000 in 2007-08 to over 12,000 in 2011-12, while for BSES Rajdhani breakdowns increased to nearly 8,000 from about 6,000 in the same period. However, Tata Power reported some improvement in quality of services with a decrease in number of breakdowns in past four years. "This year, we are anticipating the difficult summer ..We have not been able to plan in advance to meet the demands for electricity, which almost doubles during summers after lean winter season," said a top official of a discom. He added that the Delhi chief minister office used to take active interests in discoms' planning and coordination with state-owned power generation and transmission companies during December and January every year but it has not happened this time. Since privatisation in 2002, the three discoms have investedRs 8,000 .. However, the capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue decreased dramatically in case of discoms-owned by Reliance Infrastructure. Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party, on the other hand, argues that the discoms are over-charging consumers. The Delhi government had hired PwC, as directed by the regulator, to evaluate the performance of discoms. PwC reviewed power procurement, sale of surplus power, distribution losses, operation and maintenance expenses and other parameters. In a presentatio .. before Delhi's power secretary Punit Goyal this month, PwC noted that cost of power for discoms almost doubled from Rs 2.67 per unit in 2007-08 to Rs 5.25 in 2011-12. However, discoms say tariffs have not risen comparably. Net worth of these discoms eroded in past three fiscals despite equity infusion of over Rs 1,000 crore in BSES Yamuna and BSES Rajdhani in 2011-12 while Tata Power promoters too brought in Rs 500 crore last fiscal. BSES companies are claiming to have under-recovery ofRs 14,775 crore while Tata Power could not charge close to Rs 4,735 crore from consumers due to lower tariff and rising costs since privatization in 2002. "Power procurement alone accounts for close to 85% of our revenues and we are left with barely enough to mee our obligations towards cost of operations and finances. In such a scenario, we are not in a position to plan and invest for the future demand, which is increasing by 8-10% annually. We need to upgrade our infrastructure continuously to serve the consumers better," said a senior executive with one of the Delhi discoms.
