The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is seeking a change in the time slot marking peak electricity consumption in the evenings, a move which can have implications for consumers who are subject to differential pricing under time-of-day (ToD) tariffs.
The State power utility wants the present 'time zone' — 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. — changed to 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. so as to be in alignment with the energy exchanges on which it relies for power purchases to meet the peak-hour demand.
