Electricity rates for consumers are different in different States as these are  decided  by  the  respective  State  Commissions  depending  upon  the  various factors  like  power  purchase  cost,  AT&C  loss,  O&M  expense,  consumer  mix  etc., which varies from State to State.

The  Government  is  promoting  competition  through  power  exchanges. Most of the time there is one rate for the power traded in the power exchanges for all  the  buyers  in  the  country.    Bihar  has  been  on  active  participant  in  the  power exchange and has bought 662.3 Million Units (MUs) and sold 1428.6 MUs during the current year (upto 31.01.2021). Various measures are being taken to enhance share of  electricity  sold  through  electricity  exchanges.    As  per  the  Electricity  Act  2003 Bihar State Electricity Regulatory Commission is mandated to review the electricity rates for Bihar.
