Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has shared a Facebook post referring to the details penned in the Facebook post of the former DGP as counterfactual and misleading. This post was shared as a response to the recent allegation that R. Sreelekha raised with KSEB in connection with her spiking electricity bill. 
 
In her post, Sreelekha highlighted that there are discrepancies in her electricity bill, particularly regarding the billing for solar energy. However, KSEB has provided a detailed explanation, suggesting that the misunderstanding may have arisen due to a lack of understanding about solar energy billing.
 
As per KSEB's post, the electricity bill shared on her social media handle showed that in the month of April, 557 units were produced from an on-grid solar power plant. Out of which, the remaining 290 units of electricity after live consumption were exported to the grid. The total electricity consumption in the house was 1282 units. After deducting the units exported, the bill was released for 992 units (1282 - 290 = 992), which amounts to Rs. 10,038. KSEB strongly stated that the bill shared with her is accurate and no errors were reflected in the bill. 
 
Apart from the calculations, KSEB also addressed the misconceptions about off-grid systems that were raised by her. The board clarified that buying a battery and keeping it off-grid is not as great as on-grid systems in terms of energy efficiency. Additionally, KSEB negates the claims made about grid-tied solar power plants in her post. The board even threw light on the dynamic pricing of electricity in the country, which includes higher prices during peak hours.
