The electricity Board has directed the engineers to inspect the electrical connections to detect irregularities in the metering of electricity consumption in homes. Household electricity consumption is measured every 2 months. Also, 100 units of free electricity and up to 500 units of electricity are provided at subsidized rates. Currently, electricity consumption in homes has increased.

Most of the houses have at least 2 ACs and household appliances including bridge, washing machine, water heater. As the summer heat is now burning, the use of electrical appliances such as AC, fan, air cooler has increased in the houses.

Electricity charges increase when household electricity consumption exceeds 500 units. There has been a complaint that some of the employees who go to measure the electricity consumption in the houses are understating the electricity consumption. Due to this, there is a loss of revenue for the electricity board. Also, as some employees do not go to the houses to measure the electricity consumption on time, they also have to pay extra.

In this case, the electricity Board has ordered to accurately measure the electricity consumption. In this regard, Chief Financial Control Officer of Power Board K. Malarvizhi has mentioned in the circular sent to all supervising engineers:

Various instructions have been issued to avoid uploading of arbitrary, unrealistic calculation in the system instead of proper calculation during e-enumeration and to ensure timely actual enumeration. Field survey Officers are advised to confirm the correctness of the calculation by means of test electrometry. This is stated in it.
