Electricity bill over Rs 10,000 even after installing solar panel; R Sreelekha lashes out at KSEB

Thiruvananthapuram: Former DGP R Sreelekha raised serious allegations against KSEB over soaring electricity bills in her recent Facebook post. She claimed that despite using solar panels, her electricity bill has been increasing constantly. 

This month she received a bill of over Rs 10,000 which made her furious. 

In her social media post, Sreelekha mentioned how the electricity consumption amount was reduced in the initial bills after installing solar panels. However, lately she has been receiving huge bills. Alleging mismanagement, she further said that 500 to 600 units of solar power was being supplied to the KSEB per month. However, they are only considering 200 to 300 units for calculation, spiking up the bill amount. 

She also added that if anyone is using solar power or planning to implement one, they should buy a battery and keep it off-grid.
