Telangana government to bear FCA charges of farmers

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The Telangana government will bear the fuel surcharge adjustment for electricity consumed for agricultural purposes by farmers. Sources said Chief Minister K.Chandrashekar Rao reportedly instructed the finance department to release funds to the discoms towards FSA charges for farmers to avoid financial troubles to Discoms. The TS Electricity Regulatory Commission has set a cap on the highest FSA charge at 30 paise per unit. If FSA costs are more than 30 paise per unit, discoms must first obtain TSERC permission to levy the higher charge. Further, the TSERC made it clear that it will not allow discoms to recover them from annual true-up charges filings later if the FSA charges of farmers are not reimbursed by the state government.
