Can’t cancel all PPAs, says CM: ‘Where will we get power from’
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh Tuesday said that all controversial power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed by the previous government, cannot be cancelled, as it will leave to a major power shortage.
“There are 122 PPAs. If I cancel all, I will have to leave work and sit in the Supreme Court forever. Where will we get power from? I am reducing the price where the rates under PPAs is very high,” Amarinder said.
He was reacting to a question over Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu constantly nudging the government on the issue of PPAs.
