Plan for electricity bills based on region dropped

The proposed plan to base electricity bills on regional pricing has been dropped. Supporters of the zonal pricing system claimed it would have resulted in lower electricity bills for consumers. However, critics argued that the plan could have deterred investment in the energy sector. The zonal pricing system would have divided the country into different regions, each with its own electricity pricing. This was intended to reflect the varying costs of electricity generation and transmission across different parts of the country. The decision to abandon the plan comes amid ongoing discussions about ways to reform the energy market and address rising electricity costs. While the zonal pricing proposal aimed to provide more affordable electricity for some consumers, concerns were raised about its potential impact on overall investment in the energy sector. The article highlights the complex and often contentious nature of electricity pricing policies, as policymakers seek to balance the needs of consumers and the energy industry.
