APERC allows meter reading in green zones
VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has approved the power distribution companies’ (discoms) request to resume spot billing by taking meter readings, wherever possible, such as green zones, for generating low tension (LT) domestic power bill for the month of May. In the areas where it is no possible to collect the meter readings, the bills would be issued provisionally based on consumption recorded in May, 2019.
The power discoms had dispensed with spot billing in view of pandemic imposed lockdown and as it was not safe for meter readers to work amid COVID-19 outbreak.
