The Telangana power distribution companies TGSPDCL and TGNPDCL have petitioned the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC) to levy an additional surcharge of Rs 0.59 per unit on open access consumers. The move follows the government’s cancellation of night allowance for such consumers.
Southern States Electricity Regulatory Commissions’ Forum has decided to once again demand the union Power Ministry to review the decision and declare Raigarh-Pugalur-Thrissur system as of national importance.
