Tamilnadu government has also revised the electricity charges for apartment maintenance common meters on 2023. Cost of electricity is calculated based on the updated fixed slab rate. Updated slab rates mentioned below:
For example if we use 150 units of electricity within 60 days cycle we will be charged for only 50 units by deducting 100 units of free electricity. A report says due to this free electricity nearly 80 lakhs consumers are using electricity at free of cost.

Now a days it is very easy to find out the reading and we can do it by our self due to the digitization in EB sector. Check the total units consumed by noting down the reading manually in the EB meter and subtract it from the no of units used in the last paid bill.
If we fail to pay the bill within due date they may disconnect our service connection. We have to pay the bill with fine amount which is around 1.5% on the total bill amount to reactivate our connection.
With Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) raising the EB tariff for almost all sectors in September 2022, we look at how common areas of apartments are dealing with the hike.
Before September 2022, the common area electricity connections for smaller apartments used to be charged at the domestic level, with the first 100 units being free. The current tariff does not account for the free 100 units.
Bigger apartments with hundreds of units, with sewage and treatment plants, clubhouses, gyms and swimming pools among other amenities already used to pay Rs. 8.05 per unit, which was the commercial electrical charge for the common areas. Now, all multi-storeyed buildings, big or small, have to pay Rs. 8 per unit for common areas.
As per the official, the reason for the EB tariff hike is that it has not been increased for the last eight years, and TANGEDCO is suffering a loss of Rs. 1,13,266 crore, as of March 2021. The Union Power Ministry has asked the states to revise power tariffs to be able to borrow more.
Residents of a small apartment in Kolathur, who have been living there for rent, say that their house owners have asked them to not have guests overnight because they may use the water supply more, which could increase the common electricity usage.
Yes, the inclusion of residences in common meter tariff is unjustified. It is an ill thought out scheme. A general increase in EB tariff would not have been opposed. Officials may give reasons but they are all unjustified.
Madam, Pl suggest to TNEB to allot 100 free units of each flat to common meter and then charge a fixed rate between Rs.4 to Rs.8 based on excess consumption in common meters. This way all will benefit which will be a reasonable one. This is to be viewed as TNEB will increase tariff annually as proposed.
dear sir.a one ground plot developed into 4 dwellings which has one sump for essential corporation water drawing where a bore well even though it is not coming under essential services Tobe given to but a choice of favour when govt.stops corporation fetch water or due to water shortage reservoir empty for supplying will they reduce water tax for the days months if noted state govt.refuse.when registration department mention in Sale deed as for residential purposes how can the govt.make it as commercial building by increasing meter fares in kva that too double rent is a question?when catogarily mentioned as domestic for how tneb can make it commercial when the dwellings has no shops signboards or offices is also a question?while govt.encourages to high rise building for smooth sailing of the population under domestic which only lies for living as 2.3.or 4 bedrooms conversions with either covered or open car parkings is it fair to raise meter charges for those pigeons net like housings?for one ground plot conversions to 4 and completion certificate endorses purely Residencial occupation then how it is termed as commercial by way increasing s.o.p and meter charges with horrible high amounts is the last question?please if solar uses conditioned for each house this could be solved!
Before commenting on this issue, everyone should realise wastage of energy at common usage. But, one thing is;
1) there should be proper identification on Multi-storied building and number unit residents in a building and based on this Rs 8/- to all is irrational. However TANGEDCO should look back proper charging
charging rupees 8 or even 10 is ok. but should do away with fixed changes.
some small flat or house with portions using 40 units will have to pay 408=320 rupees only, which is reasonable. now they are adding compulsory 400 rupees fixed changes (they always assume 2Kva or more they do not give 1 kva). now with fixed changes we pay 720 rupees for 40 units .. not fair.
The adoption of solar PV technologies in the world has witnessed rapid growth in recent years. As per a Mercom report, in India, over 3 GW of solar has been added in the first quarter of 2022 when compared to the previous year of the same quarter. As of 31.05.2022, Tamil Nadu installed 5572.22 MW of solar power. However, in Tamil Nadu, the growth of rooftop solar (RTS) has dropped. As of June 2021, only 334 MW of the LT consumer category solar energy (ie., rooftop solar system) was installed in the state, which has a target of 3600 MW by March 2023.
Studies suggest that the introduction of a net feed-in mechanism in solar policy 2019 and a feed-in tariff regulation for solar generation has resulted in the drop in rooftop solar installation. Distributed Energy quoted that even though Tamil Nadu could become a self-sufficient state considering its solar potential, state solar policy, regulatory and administrative hurdles could be hindrances to achieving its renewable energy goals.
As per the latest TNERC order on "Grid Interactive Solar PV Energy Generating System Regulations 2021," the Regulatory Commission allows LT Domestic consumers who installed a grid-connected RTS system the option of choosing a net metering mechanism (the solar energy exported to the grid will be adjusted by deducting the energy imported from the grid. Hence the prosumer will be billed based on the net import or export on the basis of the applicable tariff) or net feed-in mechanism (where the prosumer will get a monetary value for the solar energy exported to the grid which is fixed by the licensee and the monetary value for the imported energy will be calculated based on the applicable tariff. The net billing amount will be calculated by deducting the monetary value for the exported energy with the monetary value of imported energy). However, other than the domestic service connection, all the LT connection has only the option of a net feed-in mechanism.
The network charges for the LT commercial category are Rs. 1.27 per kWh. As for the LT Domestic category, 20% of this amount is charged as network charges if the installed capacity of RTS is upto 10 kW; 75% of this amount is charged if the installed capacity is above 10 kW.
The feed-in tariff has been revised to Rs. 3.61 per unit from Rs. 2.08 per unit of export. However, the newly introduced network charges will offset this advantage; it is unlikely that the prosumers will reap any real benefits from this increase in feed-in tariff.
Since there is no meter fixed by the TANGEDCO to measure generated units, TANGEDCO assumes that all RTS systems will be generating 5.04 units per day (considering that all the system has a Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) of 21%).
However, as apparent from the CAG bill below, information regarding network charges is not transparent to the consumer. Consumers have to approach their respective section office for additional information on the network charges billed, should they need it.
It is evident that the consumers under the net metering mechanism will pay a lesser amount compared to those under the net feed-in mechanism. Introducing network charges to the electricity bill results in consumers potentially paying as much as 50% more each year, for the net metering mechanism and 29% more for consumers under the net feed-in mechanism.
If such additional charges are to be justified, the regulation must explain how the cost of operation and maintenance expenses of the network will differ for general consumers and prosumers who install rooftop solar systems, where the prosumers are also supplying electricity to the utility without overloading the present grid system. Thus, the introduction of network charges appears an unjustified burden on consumers and will only serve to reduce the growth of rooftop solar, despite the drop in solar panel costs by up to 40%.
The above analysis indicates that the introduction of network charges does not amount to consumer-friendly policies. Policies that do not burden consumers/prosumers are what we need from the state nodal agency or the respective regulatory bodies if we are to achieve the consumer category solar energy target of 3,600 MW by 2023.
As a consumer, we never think deeply about TNEB Reading but are just worried about the high electricity bill generated. People ignore a few things which can be easily avoided that cause an unwanted hike in monthly EB expenses.
TANGEDCO increased the electricity prices in 2022 after many years and introduced a new slab system for residential customers. The consumers get pretty much an increase in bills to the same amount of units consumed compared to prior the price hikes
Apart from these increased tariffs, there are some unknown charges added to the electricity bills periodically. We tell about those key unknown parameters which can save you a lot of money and some unwanted issues with EB.
The field person takes the Digital EB meter reading for each connection and calculates the total amount payable as per the new slab of tariffs. These readings and calculations are fed into the TNEB online portal and data is available for consumers to see and pay online directly. Apart from this portal, TNEB has multiple options like UPI, etc to pay the bills. 152ee80cbc
