The Union Power & NRE Minister said that all government departments must be put on prepaid system, which will thereby ensure payments from government departments automatically. Shri R.K. Singh also asked the States and UTs to review the performance of the power sector on a regular basis.
“Ministers and senior officers of states should regularly review and monitor the performance of discoms and generation companies to see that the energy accounts have been prepared, billing efficiency is above 87%, collection efficiency is above 97%. Only then will accountability come into the system and the system will get maintained and get better,” Shri Singh added.
The Minister assured all states that the Government of India will work together with the States, as one team.
