Discrepancies in power tariff calculation cost consumers 37.5 paise more

BHUBANESWAR: Even as the power tariff order for 2021-22 is under review of the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) with July 20 the next date of hearing, a fresh affidavit filed in the Commission has pointed out several shortcomings in the order that are resulting in higher tariff for the consumers.

Objecting to the manner in which OERC determined the average cost of supply (ACoS) of retail supply tariff (RST) at 548.4 paise per unit, petitioner Ananda Mohapatra in an affidavit claimed that the actual cost will be 525.39 paise per unit.
