In response to a petition filed by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), the Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC) has determined the applicable additional surcharge for April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 as Rs 1.145 per kWh.
This additional surcharge will be leviable on the consumers situated within the area of supply of PSPCL, on the actual open access power brought by them from sources other than PSPCL, subject to the condition that the contracted capacity of PSPCL continues to remain stranded during the period. Further, this order will have an overriding effect on the commission’s order dated March 20, 2020.
