Hyderabad: Major changes in the issuance of new electricity connections will come into effect in Telangana from Thursday, following the issuance of fresh guidelines by the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TGERC).
Under the new rules, consumers will no longer be charged based on the distance required for electricity poles and transmission lines. Instead, fixed charges will be levied depending on the sanctioned load.
For domestic electricity connections, the revised charges are as follows: connections up to 1 kW will attract a fixed fee of ₹500, while connections ranging from 1 kW to 5 kW will be charged ₹500 plus ₹600 for each additional kilowatt.
