The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) is proposing significant changes to the Consumer Service Manual (CSM) to include higher charges for grid-sharing services, dedicated transformers, feeders, and grid stations. These changes also aim to remove the requirement for electric vehicle charging stations, as the government has already liberalized EVCS margins.
Nepra has proposed five major modifications to the CSM, focusing on high-rise buildings, industrial consumers, and temporary connections. The proposed changes would apply to loads exceeding 5MW, requiring dedicated grid stations and associated transmission lines, with charges refunded once the connection is provided. Additionally, the regulator has proposed that consumers must reconnect within the temporary disconnection period or face charges upon reconnection.
