The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity held that the Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC) has the legal authority to issue directions to the Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) and can hear disputes involving PEDA when such disputes are closely tied to power procurement processes or tariff-related matters. This authority remains valid even though PEDA is neither a generating company nor a distribution licensee. The judgment arises from a batch of appeals involving several renewable energy developers, PEDA, PSERC, and the Punjab State Power Corporation.
