The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) has rejected a plea by industries seeking a review of the revised power tariffs for two categories of high-end industrial electricity consumers.
The commission, in a September 19 order, rejected the petition filed by the Kerala High Tension (HT) and Extra High Tension (EHT) Industrial Electricity Consumers Association seeking a review of the tariffs fixed for the EHT 66kV and EHT 110kV consumers as part of an overall revision in June.
The association had approached the commission saying that anomalies had crept into the commission’s tariff orders, resulting in excessive tariffs for the two categories. Another grievance was that the commission had “blindly reproduced” the tariff hike proposed by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) for the said consumers.
