Rise In Business Electricity Rates

Alarming rise in the Business Electricity Rates – how to tackle the situation?

 


Manufacturing sector is largely reliant upon the power supply for production. Any interruption in the production activity could be detrimental to the profits as well as the growth of the organization as a whole. It is why they make serious legal contracts with the electricity board, ahead of their start up, to make sure that there is continuous supply guaranteed 24 hours. It is why the costs associated towards the Business Electricity Rates for the industrial plants, shop floors, manufacturing centers, and so on, are very higher compared to the others. 
There are various tiers of industries, corporate offices, and so on, that pay electricity bill to the suppliers. If you are not falling under the right category, then you could write to the energy regulatory commission, with a neat description about your industrial set up, operations and the power consumption levels, so that they will ideally put you under the right category or tier, so that your monthly Electricity Rates are not too higher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example if yours is a leather firm in the market, and  you are in need of electricity according to your own specifications and needs of a specific kind, you need not have to fall under the same category of a paper manufacturing plant or a steel plant. Yes, all are industries, but there is a lot of discretion based upon the utility and the other related parameters as well. Yes, the location of the company will also matter.
Business Electricity Rates are determined by the energy regulation commission officials, respective to the type of industrial firms. It could be based upon the allocation of the particular tier categories under which your firm comes under. Electricity Rates vary depending upon the tier category to which you are belonging to. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aluminum smelter plants where there are huge furnaces that are used in the production process, to run the molten metal production from the ore of aluminum, power utilization will be heavy. Similarly, in the case of an iron plant or a steel plant, the power utilization will be heavy as well. These are heavy industries that will not seek for power from the local electricity board under any circumstances. If they do so, they will have to pay 50% of their profits just for paying to the electricity board alone as per the Business Electricity Rates that are prevailing in the current day scenario. 
What they do is, they do maintain resources of their own to meet out their huge demands. They have their own tail end power plant which will be connected to the resources of the smelter plant as well. For example enough amount of water that would go otherwise wasted from the cooling towers, could be filtered using a reverse osmosis plant, and converted into mineral water to be supplied to even a small village as a whole. 
Like that there are plenty of ways and means that one can make use of the power resources. Smart act will save power. It is good for the human kind as a whole in very many ways, and not just to cut the Electricity Rates alone.
