MERC appointed me as an Authorised Consumer Rep!!

Guess what?? MERC (on their own) actually appointed me as an Authorised Consumer Representative, under section 94(3) of the Electricity Act 2003 - in a case filed by RINFRA.

I guess with a new Chairman at MERC, the consumers are finally beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel!

Already, we have a choice in Mumbai now... we can chose to move to Tata Power, from RINFRA, BEST or MSEDCL.

Soon this will pave the way for competition in the electricity sector, across India - and the consumer will be able to move freely between electricity providers - very much like telecom providers!

Happy Independence Day :)
