• He licensee has the power to recover expenditure which is incurred in providing power supply to a consumer. The licensee shall calculate the remunerative norm. If it is found to be remunerative, the consumer shall bear no extra cost. If not, the consumer has to bear the portion of charge to make it remunerative • For calculating the remunerative norm, the licensee shall make a cost benefit analysis i.e. expenditure on material, power, repair and maintenance etc. and the expected benefit to be accrued from the consumer in the form of various charges. The comparison between the two shall tell whether the power supply is remunerative.
