Government asks CERC to relieve power plants delayed due to force majeure from transmission levy
New Delhi: The government has invoked special powers to direct electricity regulator to make changes in regulations freeing power plants delayed due to justifiable reasons from paying penalties to associated transmission projects.
The penalties would now be borne equally by all beneficiary discoms of a generation project, as per the directions issued by the Union power ministry to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) under section 107 of the Electricity Act 2003.
