The Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission (TGERC) will conduct a public hearing on May 28 regarding the licence application of the newly formed Telangana Rythu Power Distribution Company Limited (TGRPDCL). Citizens can submit objections or suggestions by May 18.

As part of this, the government has decided to encourage the installation of solar plants in non-agricultural lands by motivating farmers under the PM-KUSUM scheme

The TGERC has directed Discoms to address major issues such as transmission and distribution losses, outdated infrastructure, and obsolete equipment, sources said. The growing debt burden of the state-run distribution companies has become a significant concern for the state government, which is exploring ways to rescue them from the crisis.

The Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation (TGREDCO) has been appointed as the nodal agency for the implementation of this scheme

The TGNPDCL and TGSPDCL have to file the ARR before the TGERC by the end of this month so that the ERC could give order on the tariff by the end of March

As the government failed to deliver its poll promises, the Congress leaders have been misleading the people by making false accusations against the BRS, the MLC Tata Madhusudhan said

Since the discoms did not propose an increase in tariff of domestic consumers, there will be no change in the traffic for the current financial year.

They voiced their protest against the proposed power tariff hike at a public hearing organised by the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TGERC)

The average cost of service (CoS) for the entire State has been fixed at Rs. 6.04 per unit. The DISCOMS had proposed a tariff of Rs.6.10 per unit.

Wheeling charges are the charges levied by the electricity department for the distance the electricity is transported. The electricity board applies this charge when electricity is generated at one location but consumed at another.

At present, a fixed charge of Rs.10 per kilowatt is charged if the electricity used by households exceeds 300 units per month. The discoms have asked to be allowed to raise it to Rs.50. For HT consumers, the discoms have asked to increase the fixed charge of Rs. 475 per kilowatt to Rs. 500 from the industries.

The meeting hosted by the Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission ( TGERC )discussed issues related to various new norms brought in the Electricity(Amendment)Rules, 2022.

The DCR solar PV modules refer to solar panels in which both the solar cells and modules are manufactured within the country, adhering to the Domestic Content Requirement policy brought by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
