DERC hikes power tariff by up to 7%

14 Nov 2014 Evaluate

In a move, which is likely to increase the cost of electricity bills for consumers in national capital, Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) approved the Power Purchase Cost Adjustment charge (PPAC) under which power tariff was hiked by up to 7%. The regulator, who will review the surcharge again in February, has hiked the tariff to help the power distribution companies to recover their power purchase cost.

The DERC approved a hike of 7% for BSES Yamuna Power (BYPL), 4.5% for BSES Rajdhani Power (BRPL) and 2.5% for Tata Power. BRPL supplies electricity of south and west Delhi, while Tata Power supplies it to north Delhi and BYPL supplies to east and central Delhi.

While hiking the power tariff by up to 7.5% for domestic consumers, the DERC in July had withdrawn Power Purchase Adjustment Cost (PPAC) of around 8% till October. The regulator had introduced PPAC in 2012 to help the private power distribution companies recover additional cost on account of increase in coal and gas prices. However, its withdrawal had resulted into marginal decline of tariff for the consumers, whose monthly consumption does-not exceed 400 units.

Delhi has seen series of hike in power tariff in the past two years. The tariff was hiked by 22% in 2011, followed by 5% hike in February 2012. The tariff was increased by up-to to 2% in May, 2012 and again by 26% for domestic consumers in July, 2012. It was hiked by up to three percent in February last year and again by 5% in August.
