Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has proposed to the OERC not to increase power tariff in 2023-24 financial year.
According to sources, the government, in its proposal to Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC), has sighted surplus power generation as the reason for not raising the tariff. The Commission would announce its decision after hearing the distribution companies on March 23.
The government has also directed the distribution companies not to resort to power-cut during the peak load hours across the state.
Energy Minister Pratap Keshari Deb on Monday said with the present generation capacity of around 7,920 MW, the state is able to meet the average peak power demand of 4,500-5,000 MW conveniently. The transmission system availability is more than 99.9% in the last 10 years, he added.
Besides, more than 100 33/11 KV sub-stations will be commissioned by March 2024 to improve the voltage in low voltage pockets across the state, the minister said.
