Generation project of 30MW in Kolhapur Circle with a Connected Load of 4155 KW and 1695 KVA Contract
Demand. The Consumer is fed on 110 KV level.
The sanctioned contract demand of above consumer is 500KVA.Consumer has exceeded the Contract
demand for more than three occasions in a calendar year 2017, hence for billing purpose MSEDCL has restated
contract demand to 1695KVA which is highest recorded demand in calendar year 2017.The same was conveyed
to consumer vide notice for disconnection dtd.15.01.2018.

Consumer request:
Now, M/s Shree Renuka Sugars Ltd. have requested and applied for restoration of originally sanctioned
contract demand of.500KVA i.e. reduction in Contract Demand by 1195 KVA i.e. from 1695KVA to 500 KVA
without change in Connected Load of 4155KW. Also stated that due to short crushing season they don’t need
enhancement of Contract Demand and henceforth they shall take precaution to avoid exceeding Contract
Demand and maintain Contract Demand within sanctioned limit.
