Electricity Bill: Common people of Delhi are going to get a shock. The electricity bill of the people of the capital is going to increase. Electricity customers of Delhi will have to face an increase of 7 to 10 percent in the bill of May-June. This increase has been done under the Power Purchase Adjustment Cost (PPAC), which the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has approved the three electricity distribution companies (discoms) to recover from the customers.
PPAC is the amount recovered due to the increase in fuel cost like coal and gas of electricity production companies. It is added as a percentage on the fixed charge and energy charge (ie consumption unit) of the electricity bill.
Discoms got approval
BRPL 7.25%
BYPL 8.11%
TPDDL has been allowed to collect 10.47% PPAC.
After this decision, lakhs of Delhi customers will have to pay huge electricity bills in summer.
United Residents of Delhi (URD) criticized this decision and said that it is arbitrary and legally wrong. They also said that why the rates of PPAC have been kept different for different discoms, while the cost of fuel is almost the same. Without PPAC recovery, discoms may face financial crisis. This increase is sure to increase the burden on the pockets of Delhi’s electricity customers, especially in this summer season when electricity consumption is the highest.
