Lamtluang Online News: The Mizoram Government has decided to dispute a ₹102 crore shortfall energy bill sent by NEEPCO Ltd. for the Tuirial HEP power generation, citing discrepancies in the billing process. A meeting was held on November 16, 2024, at the P&E Minister's residence to discuss the issue. Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma and Power Minister Pu F Rodingliana previously discussed this with the Central Power Minister.
The Ministry of Power convened a stakeholder meeting on September 24, 2024, in Delhi to address the issue. The meeting decided to approach the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to resolve the power trading dispute. If the issue is taken to CERC, it's expected to have a significant impact.
NEEPCO sent the shortfall energy bill for the period April 2019 to March 2024. However, according to CERC regulations, billing should only be done for the preceding year. The Mizoram Government disputes NEEPCO's 5-year bill. Key officials attended the P&E Minister-led meeting.
The dispute may lead to CERC regulating Mizoram's power supply if the bill remains unpaid by November, potentially disrupting power trading and other services.
