Inadequate Revenue Collection

Some of the purpose for inadequate revenue collection is:

-          Insufficient, collection avenues;

-          Infrequent updating of revenue accounts;

-          Unfriendly consumer commercial policies;

-          Non-existent or casual consumer surveys;

-          Non-compliance of regulatory issues; and

-          Poor energy accounting / auditing.

All the misdoings elaborate above are within the last mile which continues to bleed along with AT&C losses of 40%, which are as high as 62% in some States. Such tremendous losses also impact the tariff critically. We further take up the issue of tariff structure and subsidies.
