DERC turns down city discoms’ request to relinquish 98 MW power allocation
The power regulator DERC has turned down city discoms’ request to allow them to relinquish 98 Mega Watt of power allocation from three generation plants of NTPC, official sources said on Wednesday.
The three discoms BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL had through Delhi government last year sought reallocation of 98 MW of power from NTPC power plants-
Kahalgaon-I (51 MW), Farakka (23 MW) and Unchahar -I (24 MW).
“The request was turned down by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission considering lower cost and their contribution in meeting the existing demand,” the sources said.
It was communicated by DERC to Delhi government’s additional chief secretary(power) in a letter in December 2022, they said.
