Odisha electricity body ‘violates’ multi-year tariff norms, makes power tariff uncompetitive

BHUBANESWAR: Non-compliance of multi-year tariff (MYT) principles by the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) has forced consumers to pay through their nose during the pandemic.

Stating that the hefty hike in power tariff for the current fiscal is the outcome of regulatory inertia, experts alleged that the Commission has miserably failed in its regulatory duty of ensuring supply of uninterrupted quality power at an affordable cost to the consumers.
