Keralam’s electricity regulatory commission to hold consultations on draft tariff norms on Sept. 29, 30

The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) will hold stakeholder consultations on its draft multi-year tariff (MYT) regulations on September 29 and 30. The regulations, once finalised, will govern electricity tariff-related matters for the five-year ‘control period’ starting 2027-28.

The consultations, planned in hybrid mode, will be held in morning and afternoon sessions on both days, the commission headed by T.K. Jose said. The Court Hall of the commission at Vellayambalam here is the venue for the offline mode. The commission had published the draft on its website a few weeks ago.

The proposals in the draft KSERC (Multi-Year Tariff) Regulations, 2026, are aimed at offering consumers wider choice, better price signals and improved service, while enabling electricity licensees (such as the KSEB) to manage demand, optimise the use of assets and preserve financial viability, the commission notes in the draft.
