VIJAYAWADA: Even as consumers, civil societies and political parties have been opposing the true-up charges recovery approved by the AP Regulatory Commission (APERC), the commission stated that protection of consumer interest and strengthening power utilities are its twin objectives.
It also said that 40 lakh out of the total 1.86 crore consumers will not be burdened because of the true-up recovery as the state government “will bear the burden” by providing subsidised power to farmers, artisans and other category consumers.
