Haryana Electricity Regulator Suspends Parallel Power Licence Following Government Directive
The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has paused the parallel power distribution licence granted to Eleven Power Private Limited (EPPL) for Gurugram and Nuh following the Haryana government's directive under Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003. The government cited concerns over consumer impact, revenue implications, and public interest, leading to employee protests and a strike. EPPL has expressed intent to pursue legal remedies. The decision marks a setback for parallel licensing reforms aimed at introducing competition in power distribution.
