APERC Orders DISCOMs: Solar Power Sellers to Get Payments Immediately!

• Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) ordered DISCOMs to immediately complete monthly billing and settlement for solar rooftop users.
• Many solar rooftop users in AP were not receiving payments for electricity sold to DISCOMs, leading to widespread grievances.
• The issue came to light during a public hearing where citizens strongly voiced their anger over delayed payments and lack of bills.
• The PM Surya Ghar Yojana, a central government scheme, encourages installing solar panels and selling surplus electricity to DISCOMs.
• The order brings satisfaction to customers, but the full success depends on actual money being deposited into their accounts.
