In rural areas , the Village Energy Committee should be constituted with the consent of Gram Panchayat and villagers , to manage all the electric supply related issues. The DISCOMs have to install a single meter and all the villagers have to go for prepaid/postpaid sub meters , installed by VEC. The VEC will collect the bill from all the households and will make the payment to DISCOM. The VEC will keep about 8-10 % of total collection and it will be used for village development work.

One of major change in the bill , that must be, is the load calculation system. Generally what the DISCOMs person do, they simply count the no of normal plugs , power plugs, switch points and calculate the load by adding it. In a house , a person puts the no. of switches and plugs , but use as per their convenience , but hardly all these are used at a time. So calculations should be on peak load used by a consumer , which can be find out by CHIP in the meter and it may trip power ,if overloads.

Hello sir,
I think we have to focus on renewable sources for electricity because it's very useful but point is proper utilization is not done if any power method is adopt to utilize the energy then electricity crises is vanish and also if we focus on lossless transmission method that also help but in practical sense it's difficult so determine the options for various electricity distribution and generation purpose.
