Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited has filed a petition against JSW Energy’s billing claims at the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission.

JSW Energy Ltd has informed that Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) has filed a petition with the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) challenging the invoices raised by JSW Energy. This comes after JSW Energy filed a petition in December to recover unpaid dues from MSEDCL for electricity supplied. The dispute revolves around outstanding invoices issued by JSW Energy to MSEDCL, but the exact amount has not been disclosed. The matter will now proceed through MERC’s adjudication process. This development is a result of a previous MERC order on July 22, 2024, which ruled that the PPA between JSW Energy and MSEDCL is not governed by a direction issued by the Central Government in May 2022. As a result, JSW Energy has raised invoices based on the tariff agreed upon in the PPA, but MSEDCL has been paying according to a different tariff. The dispute has led to a petition from JSW Energy to MERC for adjudication.
