It’s 47 degree Celsius and you have been keeping the AC on to have a good night’s sleep. Nightmare is on its way. If the summer has made you exhausted, power bills will exhaust your pockets soon. As per a news report in The Economic Times, electricity bills are expected to shoot up by 5%-20% from June as the DERC has also received an order from APTEL to pass on the charges for two quarters (from October 2014 to March 2015) within three weeks. A copy of the order has been sent to DERC
Sources informed the ET that the petition to APTEL was filed by
The discoms stated that they were getting PPAC for three quarters (July 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015) despite submitting petitions to DERC regularly. The charges of July 1 to September 30, 2014 were the first ones denied to discoms. DERC had on November 13, 2014 allowed the charges to discoms, but a day later this order was withdrawn after citing non-furnishing of complete details of the fuel bills of generators.
Discoms claimed they moved APTEL as DERC was mum on the issue. "DERC, in its reply to the interim application by discoms, cited difficulties such as frequent revision of tariffs and adverse public interest for not releasing PPAC. It added that tariff determination for the current year, which will be completed shortly, can accommodate this PPAC so the application should not be allowed," discom sources have informed the financial daily.
