MSEDCL and its franchisee Spanco MSEDCL and its franchisee Spanco at Nagpur

Lack of coordination between MSEDCL and its franchisee Spanco has started causing problems to Nagpurians in scorching heat. It now seems that the takeover was hasty as a lot of issues have not been sorted out.

This was apparent on Friday when the current transformer of Bijlinagar substation (in Spanco area) burst. The supply to parts of Dharampeth along VIP Road falling in Congress Nagar division was affected for about four hours. Some consumers who, rang up Shankar Nagar substation were told that power failure was due to a breakdown in Spanco area and they should contact the franchisee authorities. The consumers then called up Spanco helpline 6660000 only to be told that Dharampeth was not in the franchisee's jurisdiction and they should contact MSEDCL.

Dharampeth resident Pratap Atre was disgusted over this buck-passing. "Has the city been partitioned between two companies so that they can blame each other instead of attending the faults," he asked.

This seems to be the case for Ramdaspeth which faced a power failure between three to four hours and then intermittent power supply till 5pm. Dhantoli distribution centre staffers blamed Spanco even though the reason was a local breakdown.

The procedure for use of MSEDCL facilities by Spanco is not clear to authorities of both companies. Spanco had to seek help of MSEDCL testing squad in repairing the transformer at Bijlinagar substation on Friday. The franchisee authorities did not seek permission of nodal officer MS Kele before doing so. They contacted superintending engineer (testing) JM Pardhi, who sent a quad.

Pardhi told TOI that the MSEDCL would charge Spanco for providing services to it. "Normally we charge Rs 5,000 for testing a substation transformer. The rates for Spanco will be decided soon by me, nodal officer and EE (testing)," he said.
