Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has written to the Delhi Government, urging it to consider permanent reallocation of power from NTPC stations.
According to the letter, the matter of surrender of power from Dadri-I is sub-judice and NTPC has filed an Appeal before the Supreme Court of India against Interim Order passed by the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL).
Average power purchase cost of Delhi is higher as compared to many other States due to higher allocation from the costly power plants, it said.
“NTPC Gas based stations like Anta, Auraiya and Dadri-Gas have higher generation cost and their 25 years period from date of CoD have already expired in case of Anta and Auraiya and will end shortly on March 31, 2022 in the case of Dadri-Gas,” it reads.
