APERC allows Discoms to claim Rs 3,103 crore as true-up charges

VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has disposed of the petitions filed by power distribution companies (Discoms) seeking approval for true-up charges and allowed APSPDCL and APEPDCL to claim only `3,013 crore as true-up charges as against the proposal to collect `19,603 crore between 2014-15 and 2018-19.

True-up claim is the expenditure incurred by the Discoms over and above the approved annual revenue requirement by the electricity regulatory commission due to variations in actual costs, and would be collected from consumers concerned.
