MoP clarification enables BSES discoms to exit NTPC PPA for the first time

The Union power ministry has allowed BSES Delhi discoms to exit power purchase agreement with NTPC’s Dadri-I unit, in a first of its kind move that is likely to trigger many such requests. In a clarification to its March notification, the power ministry on Tuesday said power distribution companies can exit entire allocation from a particular project after completion of 25 years. ”In case of bulk power supply agreement also, the state/discoms may relinquish entire allocated power from such projects which have completed 25 years since commissioning of the project,” the clarification said.
