The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has proposed ₹2.54 a unit as green power tariff for consumers who have opted for it in the current financial year.
As per a proposal before the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission, this premium charge will be ‘‘over and above’‘ the retail supply tariffs applicable to the respective consumer categories.
A green power tariff for supply of power from renewable energy sources is a first for the KSEB. It has requested the commission to consider the proposal alongside the petitions on general tariff revisions for the 2023-24 to 2026-27 period which will be up for public hearings this month.
