The Electricity Employees’ Federation of India (EEFI) has opposed the Union Ministry of Power’s move to circulate draft Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2020, seeking stakeholders comments during lockdown period and has demanded its immediate withdrawal.
The Union Ministry of Power on April 17 came out with the fourth draft of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill since 2014, which seeks to set up an Electricity Contract Enforcement Authority (ECEA) with civil court power to settle disputes related to power purchase agreement between distribution companies (discoms) and generation companies (gencos).
The Ministry has sought the comments of the stakeholders on the Bill by May 8.
