At public hearing, consumers reject proposed power tariff hike

The Hindu  

At a public hearing in Chennai on Monday, a cross-section of domestic and industrial consumers urged the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission to reject Tangedco’s tariff hike proposal. V. Rama Rao, secretary, People’s Awareness Association, Nanganallur, said the proposed tariff of ₹11 per unit for those consuming above 1,000 units was extremely high. V. Purushothaman, a consumer, objected to the proposal to introduce separate categories for common lighting, water supply, lifts, sewage treatment plants and RO plants at ₹8 per unit with fixed charges of ₹100 per unit. On the criticism that the public hearing was held only in three locations, TNERC Chairman Chandrasekar said all procedures were followed, and an option was given for consumers to respond through mail.
