Though over two and a half years have passed since the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) had notified regulations making Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) compulsory for all discoms in the city, none of the three power utilities have complied with the regulation so far. Since then, the power regulator has only carried it forward to the next financial year as a result of which the defaulting amount has risen up to almost 15 per cent of the total electricity procured by the companies.
-ôWe shall not be carrying forward the RPO for discoms this time. But, whether they will have to pay a penalty for defaulting in the previous years or a time limit should be given to them to achieve the pending targets has to be decided,-ö said PD Sudhakar, Chairman, DERC.
