LUCKNOW With the UP Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) repeatedly emphasising on the need for introduction of direct benefit transfer (DBT) system in the power sector, discoms in UP are working out a mechanism for direct transfer of power subsidies to the targeted consumers, including farmers.
The UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL), which owns five discoms in the state, may submit an action plan to the regulator in this regard in November, when it files the annual revenue requirement (ARR) petition for 2024-25, said officials.
“Initially, the DBT in the sector may be started as a pilot project in a district or a zone, instead of the entire state, to assess its results.
