The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved a ‘green tariff’ of 77 paise per unit over and above the normal tariff for 2023-24.
The green tariff is payable by consumers voluntarily opting for the purchase of renewable energy power from distribution licensees. This tariff is “over and above the normal demand charge/fixed charge and energy charge of the respective tariff category,” the commission noted.
The tariff of 77 paise includes the additional cost of purchasing renewable energy power (62 paise) and banking charges (15 paise), the commission said in its interim order on power tariff revision on Thursday.
