New Delhi: The Union power ministry has said that it is not convinced that Delhi’s electricity distributors have tied up sufficient capacity for uninterrupted supply before surrendering 756-Mw from NTPC’s Dadri-I unit and that the utilities are buying expensive power from certain gas-based stations and power exchanges.
In a letter to Delhi’s electricity regulator, the ministry has asked the regulator to re-examine the discoms’ deallocation request and ensure that the loss caused to the public on account of purchase of expensive power is recovered from the concerned distribution companies, according to an official.
