We have been required to pay this extra charge every month while making our electricity bill payment since its introduction in 2017. However, very few people are actually aware of what Wheeling Charges are and why we are required to pay them. But not anymore.
Why should you pay for something without knowing what it is for? Read on and get yourself educated on what Wheeling Charges are. And in case you already know, you can still read to reaffirm your knowledge.
What Are Wheeling Charges On Your MSEDCL Bill?
Introduced into the MSEDCL bill in 2017, ‘Wheeling Charges’ is an amount charged by an electrical system to wheel the power from the generation station to end-users. To put it in simple terms, it is the fees that one needs to pay for the transportation or transmission of electricity from the generation source to our homes.
MSEDCL is one of the distributors of electricity in Maharashtra. However, it transports the required electricity from remote generation plants to load points via a transmission company.
Wheeling Charges are calculated based on the units of electricity consumed by a user in a month. It is charged on a per MWH basis. So, if you want to use an MSEDCL connection, you need to pay the wheeling charges for this process.
