Power tariffs not to change in Haryana till 2021
Electricity tariff in Haryana will continue to remain unchanged for the 2020-21 financial year. As per Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (HERC) order on the power tariff for 2020-21 for the distribution and retail supply, the tariff for domestic consumers consuming up to 100 units per month has also been decreased from Rs 2.70 per unit to Rs 2 per unit if the monthly consumption is up to 50 units and from Rs 4.50 per unit to Rs 2.50 if the monthly consumption is up to 100 units.
However, since energy charges in case of domestic consumers are telescopic in nature up to the consumption of 800 units per month, no slab benefit shall be admissible and tariff applicable will be 710 paisa unit for total consumption in case of consumption more than 800 units per month.
The two power distribution companies (discoms) – UHBVN and DHBVN submitted that the power sales to industrial and commercial consumers is likely to be affected severely due to the lock down and possible delay in the resumption of full-scale economic activity. These categories have a lower distribution loss as compared to the other categories.
