Answer 1

Answer:

In a rude shock to domestic power consumers in Andhra Pradesh, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) on Monday announced a hike in electricity charges for domestic consumers by 90 paise per unit, if their monthly consumption exceeded 500 units.

“At present, the power tariff for a consumption of above 500 units per month is Rs 9.05 per unit (kilowatt hour). It will now become Rs 9.95 paise per unit. There is no change in the power tariff for consumers, whose power consumption does not exceed 500 units,” APERC chairman Justice (Retd) C V Nagarjuna Reddy told reporters at the commission office in Hyderabad.

The new tariffs will come into effect from April 1. This is the first time in the last six years that the power tariff has been increased, albeit for a limited number of consumers, in Andhra Pradesh.

Reddy said the hike in power tariff will affect only 1.35 lakh consumers out of the total number of 1.45 crore domestic consumers in the state. This is a very marginal hike only for high-end consumers. So, for middle class and lower middle-class consumers, there is no impact,” he said.
