Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission pulls up HVPNL over Green Energy connectivity delay, orders Rs 1 lakh reimbursement

Panchkula, Sep 22 (UNI) The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has held Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) in clear contravention of statutory timelines over delay in granting grid connectivity to a 6-MW captive solar project and ordered the state transmission utility to reimburse Rs 1 lakh to the petitioner towards court fee and litigation expenses.
The Commission, however, took a lenient view of the case and refrained from imposing a financial penalty under Sections 142 and 146 of the Electricity Act, 2003, while discharging show-cause notices issued on July 10.
In its 51-page final order issued on September 21, HERC described the delay as indicative of “administrative lapses, red-tapism and an unacceptable degree of bureaucratic inertia” and warned HVPNL against recurrence of such delays.
