Karnataka Free Power Scheme Guidelines Issued
The Karnataka government on 5th June 2023 issued detailed guidelines for the implementation of the Gruha Jyothi scheme - which promises free electricity to all households that use below 200 units of power every month. The order issued by the Karnataka Energy Department noted that the free power supply with an upper limit of 200 units will be dependent on the monthly average consumption of a household.This average will be calculated by the electricity supply companies, based on the power used by a household in 2022-23. Power usage of up to 10% more than the average monthly usage calculated will be free for the household. For instance, a house with a monthly average usage of 100 units of power, will get free power supply for 110 units of power.
If the consumer exceeds this limit, s/he will have to pay for the excess units used. The excess consumption will be the ‘net bill’ for such consumers. This will be reflected in bills generated from the month of August. All users who use 200 units or more will have to pay the full bill amount.
