GUWAHATI: Consumers in the state of Assam will witness a sigh of relief as power tariff in Assam is set to be reduced effective from April 1, 2021.
A press release stated that there is an overall decrease of 2.0% (~15 paise/unit) as compared to the existing tariff.
Taking to his Twitter handle Kumar Sanjay Krishna, Chairman, Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission wrote, "As per today's AERC notification, a new set of tariff rules have been defined, with a reduction in electricity tariffs, effective from 1st April 2021."
Meanwhile, the night off-Peak rebate has been retained at Rs. 2.00 per kWh, while the additional charges during peak hours have been increased from Rs. 1.50 per kWh to Rs. 2.00 per kWh, in order to further incentivise eligible consumer categories to shift more of their consumption from peak hours to night off-peak hours.
Notably, APDCL shall levy category-wise tariffs after adjusting the amount of category-wise subsidy, if provided by the Government of Assam.
Here is the below tariff approved for Assam Power Generation Company Limited (APGCL), Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Limited (AEGCL) and Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) for FY 2021-22, applicable with effect from April 1, 2021.
