The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MSEDCL) has approved new charges, effective 1 September, for power customers seeking cheaper energy via an online open access platform. The decision followed a request from the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MERC), which said it needed to cover the costs of setting up and operating a new IT system to cope with higher user demand. However, MSEDCL approved slightly lower charges than had been requested by MERC.
