BHUBANESWAR: Electricity consumers in the State are paying 39.35 paise more per unit of power they consume, thanks to the ‘generosity’ shown by Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) to the four Tata Power-owned distribution companies. The Commission has facilitated the largesse to the distribution companies (discoms) by not taking into account a whopping Rs 914.21 crore – non-tariff income of Rs 564.21 crore and provisional surplus of Rs 350 crore – during determination of tariff for 2022-23.
