but sir on the other side he earn his livehood and he is a consumer of electricity board

some consumer though buying goods for commercial activities are 'consumer' within the scope of CPA such as a small dealer who buys a photostat machine to earn his livelihood, a taxi driver who buys a vehicle for self employment etc. A cold storage owner will not fall in this category.
