Builders across Haryana will have to pay through their nose by way of hefty charges —ranging from Rs 1.70 crore to whopping Rs 166 crore — for the installation of electricity substations in their respective colonies.
The external electrical system development charges (EESDC), which have been introduced by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC), will be collected by the power distribution companies (discoms) from the builders in lieu of building electrical substation.These charges will be collected from the builders for the requirement of 33 kilovolt (KV) and above voltage level.
