KSEB consumers’ interests will be protected: panel chairman

The interests of the consumers will be protected when finalising a decision on the plea made by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to change the metering method for grid-interactive renewable energy systems, Preman Dinaraj, Chairman, Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC), said on Friday.

The commission also plans to call a public hearing in the near future on changes planned in its regulations governing renewable energy, said Mr. Dinaraj. The changes proposed will be published as a draft ahead of the hearing.

At an online hearing on Friday, the commission noted that the KSEB plea, which drew sharp criticism from solar prosumers, has been filed at a time when the Central government is actively promoting rooftop solar projects with subsidies.
