BHUBANESWAR: Samajwadi Party state committee and other organisations have opposed the draft OERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Wheeling Tariff and Retail Supply Tariff) Regulations, 2022. They alleged that this proposed regulation would exploit common consumers.
Wheeling tariff means the fees paid to transport electricity from a power plant to end customers. Retail supply tariff is charged by the distribution licensee for supply of electricity to its consumers other than open access consumers.
The Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC) has framed the draft and published it for information of the general public under the Electricity Act, 2003. Before finalisation of the regulation, the Commission had invited opinion through this publication.
