In determining the retail supply tariff order for the financial year 2022-23, which will be effective from April 1, 2022, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has merged all the three existing groups in the domestic category into one with a telescopic billing system.
Under the system, lower slab consumption of the consumers will be billed at the corresponding lower slab tariffs, and the entire consumption will not be billed at a single slab in which it falls.
According to an official release from the Energy Department, if a consumer has a monthly consumption of 250 units, the first 30 units will be billed at ₹1.90 per unit, the next 45 units at ₹3 per unit, the next 50 units at ₹4.50, the next 100 units at ₹6, and the last 25 units at ₹8.75. Thus, the total bill will be ₹1,235.75.
