New Delhi: In the midst of increasing concerns over coal shortages, the Ministry of Power on Tuesday asked the state to take advantage of uniprotable forces from the central producing station (CGS) to meet their own consumer requirements.
“It has been observed that some countries do not supply power to their consumers and force load shedding in several regions.
On the other hand, they sell power in power exchanges at high prices,” the electricity ministry said in a statement.
“Countries are required to use unfined power to supply electricity to state consumers.
In terms of surplus strength, the countries are requested to be intimate so that this power can be allocated to countries that need other,” he added.
As per the guideline for power allocation, 15 percent of the power of the CGS is stored as “untreated power” allocated by the central government to countries that need to meet the requirements of consumer power.
“If there is a country found, selling power in power exchange or not scheduling this unliced strength, the power of those who are not filled can be reduced or withdrawn and be allocated to other countries that need such power,” he said.
The statement came a day after the Union Ministers Amit Shah held a high-level meeting with RK Singh’s power minister, Coal Minister Prahlad Joshi along with high-ranking officials.
