To study energy usage and ways to cut electricity costs, the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) has directed the UT Electricity Department to complete the annual energy audit on priority.
On a petition submitted by the department to grant approval for revision of the tariff, the commission noted that it had not submitted the energy audit report for the fiscal 2021-22. The commission further noted the petitioner was yet to submit the energy audit reports for previous years, despite repeated directions. On this, the JERC directed the department to submit a report on quarterly action plan within a month and complete the annual energy audit on a priority basis.
