MSEDCL Green Meter Charges in Thane – Breakdown & Insights

I recently looked into MSEDCL charges for green meters in Thane and wanted to share my findings with fellow members, as getting clear information from EV dealers was quite challenging. I hope this proves useful, especially for first-time EV owners navigating the setup process.

MSEDCL Bill Breakdown:

- Tariff & Classification: Green meters are categorized under the "Industrial" tariff, priced at ₹6.58 per unit. Although there are supposed to be discounted rates during non-peak hours (10 PM – 6 AM), this discount is currently unavailable due to a hardware (meter) limitation. The new meters are expected to be dispatched in the coming weeks.
- Demand Charges: Calculated based on the highest recorded demand (in kVA) during the billing period. Typically, a billed demand of 6 kVA is applied at a rate of ₹80 per kVA, amounting to ₹480 per month.
- Wheeling Charges: ₹1.17 per kWh, applied per unit of electricity consumed.
- Electricity Duty (E.D.): A 7.50% tax on the total billed amount, imposed by the government.
- Contract Demand: The maximum demand (in kVA) agreed between the consumer and MSEDCL. The billed demand is usually 6 kVA.
- FAC (Fuel Adjustment Charge): A variable charge reflecting fluctuations in fuel costs for power generation. Currently calculated at ₹0.75 per unit.
