In a major relief to over two lakh consumers, the UT Electricity Department has decided not to propose any hike in the rates of electricity for the next fiscal (2020-2021) to the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) in the aggregate revenue requirement (AAR) to be submitted by the end of this month. The JERC had fixed November 30 as the deadline for filing the tariff revision petition, also known as the AAR.
As per the rules, the JERC will hold public hearings on the AAR and also invite suggestions and objections and take a decision.
