JERC seeks audit report before call on hike in power tariff
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.
