KSEB to file review petition against KSERC order to pay Rs 6.3 crore to power company

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: KSEB has decided to file a review petition after the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) issued a favourable order to Indsil Hydro Power and Manganese Ltd, a private company based in Coimbatore, which had provided excess energy injected into the grid during the general lockdown period last year at Rs 5.50 per unit. A whopping Rs 6.30 crore has been slapped on KSEB which fears it may have to pass on the buck to consumers in due course. During the lockdown period, KSEB was not interested in getting power, even for Rs 1.50 per unit due to low consumption when the industries were shut down.
