BHUBANESWAR : The State Government will draw 50 per cent power from the Stage-III power projects of NTPC\u2019s Talcher Thermal Power Station at a price to be decided by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission. \u201cThe State Government has committed to buy 50 per cent of the power from TTPS under the power purchase agreement (PPA) while States like West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Sikkim will procure 35 per cent of the power. The remaining 15 per cent will be in the central pool as reserve power,\u201d said a senior NTPC officer.<\/p>\n
The other contentious issues of power tariff from the new project have been resolved. The cost of power will be determined by CERC and this has been accepted by the State Government. The expansion plan of NTPC for TTPS Stage-III projects is hanging fire from 2017 due to delay in granting clearance by the State Government. \u201cWe are in advanced stage of sorting out pending issues with Odisha Government for TTPS projects. There are some glitches in the evacuation of power from NTPC\u2019s new projects under execution in the State. We are confident of resolving these issues shortly,\u201d said NTPC Regional Executive Director (Eastern Region II) Sanjeev Kishore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
