UPPCL’S RESPONSE SOUGHT ON OBJECTIONS TO TARIFF REVISION PROPOSAL

: Electricity regulatory body Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) has sought UP Power Corporation Ltd’s (UPPCL) response to the objections and suggestions received from various stakeholders before finalizing and announcing the tariff order for the current financial year.

UPERC plans to announce the tariff order for 2021-22 early next month.

Among the suggestions also include the UP Rajya Viduut Upbhokta Parishad’s proposal for introduction of ‘Covid relief tariff’. Many bodies representing various categories of consumers also opposed the UPPCL’s proposal for levy of regulatory surcharge and changes in the exiting tariff slabs.

“Please find an enclosed set of views/comments/suggestions/ objections/representations received by the commission from various stakeholders and public at large. You may please file your response to each of them within seven days,” UPERC secretary Sanjay Singh said in a letter to the UPPCL on Tuesday.
