PUNJAB STATE ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION

SCO 220-221, SECTOR 34A, CHANDIGARH

 

PUBLIC NOTICE

 

Notice is hereby given to all that the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited has submitted that continuous process industries are getting uninterrupted power supply for the full load whereas actual load required to run continuous process is far less than the total load. Even in the peak load season when the PSPCL is short of supply, Continuous Process Consumers avail uninterrupted power supply for the full load whereas peak load restrictions are imposed on other industrial consumers. To sort out this problem, PSPCL has proposed the following changes in the criteria for allowing continuous process status:
