Causes of High Electricity Bill

1 Inefficient light bulbs and electrical devices Electricity is one of the most energy-intensive aspects of our houses, but it is also something we cannot live without. There are numerous illumination options available, ranging from traditional incandescent bulbs to advanced light-emitting diode (LED) lights. All of these bulbs have varying energy ratings.

2 Peak time Energy Consumption Another important reason for high electricity bill is due to the high Consumption of energy at the peak time. Energy providers use the same supply and demand algorithms to decide how much they will charge you for electricity. These are known as time-of-use rates, and they are the costs that are passed on to consumers to cover the additional cost of urgently raising capacity during peak hours. Your energy costs will be highest first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

3 Using Older Home Appliances Large-scale equipment, such as washing machines and refrigerators, is built to last for many years before needing to be replaced. While this may appear to be a good thing, many older models are not good for your electricity costs. Many households put off upgrading because of the high upfront expense of newer, more energy-efficient models. However, this will not save you any money. ENERGY STAR-certified appliances consume up to 50% less energy than their older, less efficient counterparts. The fact that, while supported by the government, the certifications are completed independently is what makes this certification so significant.

4 Running Appliances on Half-Power Understanding what creates a high electric bill requires an honest examination of how we utilise energy in our daily lives. Modern amenities in everyone's kitchens have only increased the country's energy use. For example, your dishwasher and washing machine are the two machines that use the most energy.

5.Extreme Weather.

6.Leaking Hot Water Pipe and other Faulty Appliances.

7.Overused Home Appliances.

Significant investment needed to increase Kerala’s power generation capability

Augmenting Kerala’s internal power generation capability is not going to come cheap, if a Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) estimate is any indication. The power-deficit State, which has seen a sharp increase in electricity demand in recent years, will need an investment of about ₹42,800 crore for adding 7,750 megawatts (MW) to its installed capacity for power generation, according to the…

Disciplinary Authority can't assume the role of Enquiry Officer

Bhaskaran KP v. Kerala State Electricity Board Limited

Writ Petition 40499/2017 allowed on 31.07.2023

By Hon’ble Mr. Justice Devan Ramachandran,

Kerala High Court

Petitioner Bhaskaran KP, filed Writ Petition (WP) before the Kerala High Court seeking quashing of the order passed by Disciplinary Authority of Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) and confirmation of the modified order by the Appellate Authority.

Background

1.    Petitioner, an Assistant Engineer at Electrical Section – Desamanglam retired on 31.03.2015 but was denied retiral benefits on account of uncorroborated shortfall in materials of which he was in charge.

2.    Charge memo was issued to the petitioner to which he denied.

3.    Enquiry was conducted and two charges were framed against him. First charge was account for the material. This charge was not proved in the absence of proper verification of the accounts and the materials. Second Charge was gross insubordination, it was proved.

4.    Consequent to the enquiry report an investigating team was constituted to quantify the liability against the petitioner which found Rs. 14,51,286/ as shortfall amount.

5.    Disciplinary Authority imposed Rs.14,51,286/ as personal liability of the petitioner but didn’t impose any punishment on account of second proved charge of gross misconduct.

6.    Disciplinary Authority however modified its earlier order and reduced the liability to Rs.10,54,844/- by another order.

7.    Petitioner Challenged modification of order by Disciplinary Authority before the Appellate Authority.

8.    Appellate Authority confirmed the order of Disciplinary Authority that Rs. 10,54, 484 is personal liability of the petitioner thus the amount is liable to be recovered from the retiral benefits.

Contention of the Petitioner’s Counsel

1.    Review of its order by Disciplinary Authority is improper and impermissible.

Contention of the Counsel of the KSEB

1.    Report of the investigating team is not available because of lapse of time.

2.    On humanitarian ground figure of Rs.14,51,286/- was reduced to Rs. 10,54,844/- by the Disciplinary Authority.

3.    Thus, Disciplinary Authority issued another order treating the amount as personal liability.

4.    Thus, order of the Disciplinary Authority and Appellate Authority can’t be challenged by the petitioner.

Observation of the Court

1.    Disciplinary Authority didn’t impose any punishment on the proved charge rather inflicted Rs.14,51,286 as personal liability of the petitioner. This is the first error.

2.    The matter should have gone back to the Enquiry Officer for completing the disciplinary proceedings. Instead, Disciplinary Authority himself took the role of the Enquiry Officer and found the petitioner guilty and concluded that Rs.14,51,286/- be reckoned as his ‘personal liability’.

3.    The input of the investigating team ought to have gone back for enquiry and enquiry officer should have concluded the guilt or otherwise of the petitioner.

4.    Disciplinary Authority reviewed its own order and reduced the liability to Rs.10,54, 884/- and affirming this as his personal liability.

5.    The Appellate Authority failed to notice that the order of the Disciplinary Authority was not one which emanated out of the disciplinary enquiry, but was based on his own assessment of liability. The second error committed by the Appellate Authority.

6.    The failure of the KSEB to produce the report of the Investigating Team casts aspersion on the manner in which the proceedings against petitioner were taken forward and completed by them.

7.    Court fails to understand how the Appellate Authority affirmed the order of the Disciplinary Authority reducing personal liability to Rs. 10,54,884/- on the basis of untraceable report against the petitioner.

Decision

The modified order of the Disciplinary Authority & affirmation of the order by the Appellate Authority is set aside. The KSEB is directed to pay the petitioner his eligible amounts within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment issue.
