CHENNAI: Even though consumers continue to cry foul over the ‘shocking’ electricity bills, TANGEDCO on Wednesday informed the Madras High Court that it cannot grant anymore extension for domestic users to pay the charges. Residents across cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai have also raised similar complaints over high power charges.
Officials have denied claims of miscalculation, stating that consumers were being charged at this point only as per their previous assessment, done around January-February. They argue that the current consumption was low back then, unlike now when the lockdown has forced people to stay indoors during the peak summer season.
