Judicial preview rejects objections to 10K MW solar projects

VIJAYAWADA: The judicial preview of Andhra Pradesh has “rejected” and found “untenable” certain objections — capacity addition when the state already has surplus generation, long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), fate of APGENCO units, and others — made in the case of 10,000 MW solar power plants proposed by the state government to meet the future demand of the subsidised agriculture power. Recommending rectification of certain “defects” in the tender documents and that other findings be considered, it permitted AP Green Energy Corporation Ltd (APGECL) to float the tenders.
