KSERC Approves KSEB's Short-Term Power Purchases for November 2026 to March 2027
The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) approved the Kerala State Electricity Board's (KSEB) proposal to procure short-term power worth Rs 131.26 crore from November 2026 to March 2027 to address anticipated demand increases and power deficits. The commission authorized purchases totaling 164.16 million units at an average rate of Rs 8 per unit via the DEEP portal, specifying monthly megawatt allocations. However, KSERC rejected the proposed April 2027 procurement due to high rates and limited supply during peak and off-peak hours.
