Due to current energy crisis in sight, the government has developed a ‘novel idea’ of providing ‘guaranteed and uninterrupted power supply’ to wealthy consumers who agree to pay high tariff for electricity produced by expensive power plants.
As a first step the scheme called “uninterrupted electricity supply tariff” would be introduced in industrial zones, but would also be available to consumers agreeing to forgo normal tariff and purchase electricity produced at high cost, a senior government official said in a statement.The scheme is expected to be made part of the new federal budget.
