I. General Guidelines to Consumers:

1. The complaint letter must be simple, straightforward and short. The first paragraph should grab the reader’s attention and let him or her know exactly what the letter is about.

2. Plan what you want to say and let there be logical order. Don’t jump. Thoughts should be clearly grouped in paragraphs. Give all the information that is required, but nothing more.

3. Know where you stand. Be aware of your rights and responsibilities.

4. Identify what you want. Before complaining, decide what is that you want. Do you want to just convey your feelings?

Bills challenged in any court of law shall not be considered for the purpose of collection efficiency.

(4) Reliability & Quality of Power Supply

(I) Reliability of the distribution system operated by the licensee shall be computed on the basis of number and duration of sustained interruptions in pre-defined period of time e.g. quarterly, annually etc. In a power system, it may take a few minutes or repetitive operation of protective devices, to restore power after transient faults or to reroute power in the network to restore supply to the affected area. The licensee shall compute and report the value of following sustained interruption indices, prescribed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1366 of 2003, from 1st April, 2011 and till then, the methodology for calculation of reliability indices shall continue as specified under the Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Distribution Licensees' Standards of Performance) Regulations, 2005): Sustained interruptions, not classified as a part of momentary event, which last more than five minutes duration shall be considered for judging the reliability of the system and momentary interruptions (including all reclosing operation that occur within five minute of the first interruption), not exceeding five minutes duration, from the first interruption shall be ignored in computation. a. SAIFI SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) indicates how often the average customer experiences a sustained interruption over a pre-defined period of time. Mathematically, this is as follows,

SAIFI= Σ Total Number of Consumers Interrupted Total Number of Consumers served

i.e. SAIFI = Σ Ni NT

Where, Ni = No. of interrupted consumers for each sustained interruption event during a quarter. NT = Total no. of consumers served in the area. b. SAIDI

SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) indicates the total duration of interruption for an average consumer, as consumer minutes or consumer hours, during a pre-defined period. Mathematically, this is as follows,

SAIDI= Σ Customer Interruption Durations Total Number of Customers Served

i.e. SAIDI = Σ ri Ni NT

ri = Restoration time for each interruption event 50

Ni = No. of interrupted consumers for each sustained interruption event during the quarter. NT= Total no. of consumers served in the area.

c. Consumers Average Interruption Frequency Index (CAIFI) Consumers average interruption frequency index gives the average frequency of sustained interruptions for those consumers experiencing sustained interruptions. The consumer is counted once regardless of the number of times interrupted for this calculation.

CAIFI = Σ Ni

CN Where

Ni = Total no. of interrupted consumers for each sustained interruption event during the quarter. CN = Total number of consumers who have experienced a sustained interruption during the quarter. d. Consumers Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) Consumers average interruption duration index is the average time required to restore service. Mathematically, simplified

CAIDI = SAIDI / SAIFI

-CAIDI shall be calculated for a sub-station, for a circle and for the Licensee as a whole. The index shall be expressed in interruption minutes per consumer per year. -SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIFI and CAIDI indices shall be calculated for a sub-station, for a circle and for the Licensee as a whole quarterly and the consolidated indices value should form part of the report under sub-regulation 10(1). While the indices, the following types of interruptions shall not be taken into account: (a) Planned outages i.e. interruption due to “State Annual Outage plan” prepared in advance for the financial year SLDC if not deferred taking into account the statutory requirements ( Clause 5.8.4 (f) of the State Grid Code) (b) Momentary interruptions of duration less than five minutes (c) Contingency outages in intra-State transmission network as identified under clause 3.5.1 (a) of the State Grid Code. (d) Outages due to Force Majeure reasons beyond the control of the Licensee like fire, earthquake, floods, storms, and riots etc. including forced outages i.e. an outage of a generating unit or a transmission facility due to a fault or other reason which has not been planned.

Within six months of these regulations coming into force, the Licensee shall declare Reliability Index (RI) in the form of SAIDI & SAIFI in its area of supply and shall publish it in local newspaper having wide circulation in that area. The Commission shall fix benchmarks for standards of reliability on the basis of data collected for one year and revise the levels to be achieved from time to time for ensuring improvement in the performance of the licensee.

(II) Voltage Variation Limits

Licensee shall ensure that long duration voltage variation at the point of commencement of supply to consumer as defined in Indian Electricity Rules, 1956, shall not vary from the declared voltage as below:

Type of supply and declared Variation Variation voltage maximum limit % minimum limit (+) % (-)

230 Volts single phase 50 Hz AC supply 6% of declared 6% of declared voltage voltage

400 Volts three phase 50 Hz AC supply 6% of declared 6% of declared voltage voltage

2200/660011000/15000/22000/330000 6% of declared 9% of declared Volts three phase 50 Hz AC supply voltage voltage

66000 Volts and above three phase 50 10% of declared 12.5% of Hz AC supply voltage declared voltage

The complaints with respect to voltage variation limits shall be established through portable voltage recorders or meter reading instruments.

(III) Voltage unbalance

The Voltage unbalance shall not exceed the following limits: Voltage Limit of voltage Implementation Stage Level unbalance 33 kV level 3% As specified by CEA Grid Connectivity Regulation, 2004

11 kV/22 3.5% As specified by CEA Grid Connectivity level Regulation, 2004
