No Comments Sub Category:Awareness,Community Posted On: Nov 09, 2011

“Power tariff likely to increase” has become a common saying from the power distributors as there seems to be no end to the hike, the residents of Bhubaneswar are also turned numb with the rapidity increase in power tariffs. However it seems like even the Supreme Court has rejected a petition passed on by the Orissa Electricity Regulation Commission (OERC) in concern with the power tariff hike. However the official sources reported saying that, the apex court has guided OERC to implement new tariff provision as directed by the Appellate Tribunal (AT).

This time the power tariff hike will be completely varying with different categories of consumers, meanwhile the tribunal said to have not supported OERC method of calculating the tariff. OERC has been ordered to redo the cost of supply duly on voltage basis. Senior energy department official reported saying that they are not aware of the judgments passed on by the apex court. Only when they receive the judgment in the soft copy they will respect the same, he added. Residents are fed up with this act and they are ready to stage a protest against OERC.
