VIJAYAWADA: With the lockdown announced in view of Covid-19 massively denting the revenue collection of the State power utilities, the officials are exploring ways to overcome the ‘unforeseen’ crisis and prepared a report on the impact on electricity sales and revenue collections for the next six months.
According to Energy department officials, notices were issued to the 315 power generators, including renewable, invoking the force majeure clauses of power purchase agreements to insulate the debt-ridden discoms from the fixed charges claims and other contractual obligations owing to the steep fall in demand and other unforeseen conditions that may arise during the lockdown.
