After bringing about a single slab system for electricity charges in the LT category, the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) has directed electricity supply companies (escoms) to allow LT residential consumers to avail multiple electricity connections in their residential premises. The order was issued on March 26 following complaints from many consumers that escoms are not sanctioning multiple connections.
“The Commission, in its 2024 tariff order, introduced a single slab for energy charges, allowing LT residential consumers to avail multiple connections to their premises as per their requirements,” a senior KERC official said.
