No change in power tariff, no announcement of 300 free units yet

Power consumers of the state will not get 300 free units of power yet, as per the tariff order issued by Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSREC) even as the consumers have not been burdened with any hike in power prices.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took over the reigns of the state a fortnight ago and this is their first order on power tarrif. No change in tariff for any category has been made in the tariff for financial year starting tomorrow. The PSERC stated that it has not burdened the consumer considering that they were recovering from losses during Covid-19 pandemic.
