Pooled cost of power purchase for 2021-22 fixed at ₹4.32/unit
Renewable Power Generators (RPGs) – Individual farmers, group of farmers, farmers cooperatives, gram panchayats, farmer producer organisations (FPOs) and water users’ associations (WUAs) – who either have or plans to have their solar power units with capacity of 500 kilowatt (kw) to 2 megawatt (mw) would continue to get a tariff of ₹3.13 per unit of energy injected to the grid.
Telangana State Electricity Regulator Commission (TSERC) has recently rejected a petition filed by the two power distribution companies (discoms) in the State with a plea to review the tariff and revise it to ₹2.80 per unit, as arrived at the norms of Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) regulation.
The TSERC felt that the petition of the discoms for tariff under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Surakshan Utthan Mahabhiyan (PMKUSUM) was devoid of merits.
