TPL has proposed to levy a regulatory charge of 22 paisa per unit from its consumers in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar supply areas. For Surat, the regulatory charge sought to be collected is 17 paisa per unit, states the company\u2019s petitions for the determination of power tariff for fiscal 2022-23, which were filed with the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) on Monday.<\/p>\n
The company has demanded to charge this regulatory levy for a period of two years to recover its past dues. The company has estimated a revenue shortfall of Rs 349.18 crore for Ahmedabad and Rs 108.74 crore for Surat supply area. These revenue gaps have mainly resulted on account of the past years\u2019 under recovery. Hence, the company has sought the state power regulator\u2019s permission to levy regulatory charge from April 1, 2022 for a period of two years with necessary adjustment of cost due to the deferment of recovery, the power distributor added.<\/p>\n
If approved, TPL\u2019s consumers will have to shell out more for power their consume. \u201cWhile any increase in base power tariff continues to remain in force till it is revised further, the regulatory charge demand by the company is for a limited period of two years, after which it is discontinued,\u201d explained people in the power tariff.<\/p>\n
Torrent Power has also proposed a \u2018Green Tariff\u2019 at the rate of 50 paisa per unit in its license areas.
