This will be a controlled tariff."The tariff will increase since there would be no control on certain costs including the cost of the fuel or freight charges. However, with the non-variable component being predictable, there would a controlled increase in the tariff," he said.The draft proposal states "The objective of having a long-term plan was to ensure that load-shedding is avoided to the extent practicable, and the distribution licensees ensure that adequate capacity is contracted under long-term, medium-term and short-term contracts at optimum prices to ensure that the consumers get uninterrupted power supply and also that the tariffs are reasonable.
