BHUBANESWAR: As Covid-19 restrictions have been relaxed and functioning of offices and educational institutions normalised, the demand for physical public hearing of applications by the Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) for determination of power tariff for coming financial years is growing louder.
As per the public notice issued by OERC, the hearing of aggregated revenue requirements and tariff applications of power generating, bulk trading, transmission and distribution companies for 2022-23 will commence from February 15 through virtual mode.
