Punjab plans to introduce two-part power tariff for retail supply [1]

The Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL) is contemplating the introduction of a two-part tariff in electricity for retail supply consumers except agricultural pumpset consumers, temporary supply consumers and public lighting. The proposed move would not only help the state power utility to raise additional revenue, which has already invested significant amount in transmission network, but also strengthen its existing network.

The state has, at present, a single part tariff policy. In a two-part tariff policy, the consumer would have to pay fixed charges, based on the sanctioned load or contract demand of the consumer besides variable charges, based on the actual consumption of power.
