Kerala govt urges CERC to reinstate cancelled contracts in power sector
In a bid to meet the electricity requirements of Kerala, the state government on Wednesday decided to urge the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission to reinstate contracts in the power sector that it previously denied permission to.
The decision was taken at a state cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The state government said it would give this direction to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission under Section 108 of the Electricity Act.
State Power Minister K Krishnankutty said that the key regulator is legally bound to follow the direction of the state government.
