HYDERABAD: Power consumers in the state can expect a mild shock this year too as the Telangana Discoms have decided to file aggregate revenue requirement (ARRs) for the year 2016-17.
“We will file ARRs on February 15 before TS Electricity Regulatory Commission,” Chairman and Managing Director of Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Ltd (SPDCL) G Raghuma Reddy told Express on Thursday.
In their first ARRs submitted to TSERC in February 2015, the Discoms proposed a nominal average increase of 4.9 per cent.
Last year, the Discoms had burdened the consumers demanding a revenue requirement of `1,000 crore. Asked about the quantum of increase in power tariff, Raghuma Reddy said: “Wait till we file ARRs. It is a secret till then”. The TS Genco has plans to increase the installed capacity from the present 8,000 MW to 24,000 MW by 2018.
