我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以总结文章信息。德里政府计划从四月起提高电价,以清偿对三家电力分销公司的逾 3800 亿卢比的未付款项。将提供补贴以减轻对消费者的影响。最高法院要求支付监管资产,这些资产因十年来未进行电价上涨而激增。总监管资产达到 3855.2 亿卢比,其中大部分欠款归 BRPL、BYPL 和 TPDDL 所有。根据法院的指示,回收可能通过在七年内对电费账单加收附加费的方式进行
The electricity rates in the city are likely to rise from April as the Delhi government is preparing for disbursal of pending dues of over ₹38,000 crore to the three power discoms, officials said on Sunday.
The government is, however, planning to subsidise the hike in power tariff to cushion the impact on the consumers, they said.
The Supreme Court in August last year directed that the regulatory assets, including carrying costs of ₹27,200 crore, be paid to Delhi's three private discoms, BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL, in seven years.
Regulatory assets - costs that are expected to be recovered in future - have risen sharply due to a lack of any power tariff hike in the past decade under the Aam Aadmi Party rule.
Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), city's power regulator, informed the central agency, Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL), in January that total regulatory assets in Delhi stand at ₹38,552 crore.
As per DERC filing, the outstanding amount includes ₹19,174 crore for BRPL, ₹12,333 crore for BYPL and Ra 7,046 crore for TPDDL. The amounts are approved expenditures incurred by the discoms for supplying electricity.
The original regulatory asset amounts have increased due to piling up interest because of the delay in recovery, they said.
The court had also directed DERC to prepare a recovery plan, account for carrying costs (interest) and conduct a detailed audit explaining the prolonged delay in cost recovery.
The recovery is likely to be made through an increased regulatory asset surcharge in electricity bills over a seven-year period.
Delhi Power Minister Ashish Sood in March last year said the discoms were authorised to recover ₹27,000 crore accumulated as regulatory assets, hinting that the electricity rates may go up in the city.
