TS discoms failed to file ARRs for three years
The Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission is considering implementation of the Uttar Pradesh model of streamlining the functioning of power distribution companies (discoms) and other power establishments here in the wake of irregularities in submission of annual revenue requirements (ARRs).
The two discoms of the State had recently submitted the ARRs for three years (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) in one go without tariff proposals. So, the ERC had returned the proposals to the discoms. In fact, the ARRs were supposed to be submitted by November 30 for the coming years because the ERCs were given 120 days by the Electricity Act to invite public opinion on tariff proposals, hold public hearing and finally issue tariff orders.
However, the discoms of the State had not only failed to file ARRs for three years but found wanting in implementation of ERC orders.
