PSPCL fined Rs 72 cr for not taking power-saving steps
The Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission has imposed a penalty of Rs 72.27 crore on the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited for not implementing electricity-saving measures, and also hinted at larger penalties next year in case the PSPCL failed to get its act together. HT Image In its tariff order announced on August 22, the regulator pointed out that in financial year 2013-14, shortfall of power-saving target by PSPCL is 160 million units. The PSPCL is directed to achieve a saving of 500 million units including the backlog of 2013-14 during financial year 2014-15,” said the PSERC order. Though the regulator was satisfied that the PSPCL ensured compliance of using 4-star pumpsets for tubewell connections, it said in the order further that no tangible action was taken to take up the pilot project for replacing old sets with efficient motors.
