Chandigarh: Chairman of the Minister of Amarinder Singh on Wednesday ordered Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) to cancel or revisit the “One Side” Power Power Agreement with a private company that was not in a contracted contract to supply enough strength to meet the country.
Peak demand during the summer of rice fields and summer.
Amarinder has taken serious records of failure relating to Talwandi Sabo Power Limited (TSPL), Mansa – one of the largest private thermal plants in the state, which “failed to do” in the current rice season.
“CM has directed PSPCL to revoke his PPA,” which is “very biased in supporting the company,” said an official spokesman for the state government.
He also asked PSPCL to examine all the PPAs signed by the former SAD-BJP government.
With various manufacturers Independent (IPPS), which was founded basically to meet the demands of state power, especially during the rice summer and summer.
He has directed PSPCL to end / review all the tilted PPAs that are not beneficial for the country.
The minister’s chief notes that the PSPCL has signed 14 PPAs With thermal or hydro plants and 122 long-term PPAS with solar / biomass factories after 2007, to make the country’s power surplus with a generation capacity of around 13800 MW.
However, in the current rice season, the three TSPL units failed to produce power for several days during the rice season Peak.
One unit TSPL failed fully to operate from March 202, and two units remained out From the power plant for the last one month, he said.
At present, only one unit TSPL operates, he said, adding that these factors have caused a lack of great power in the state.
PSPCL has issued a notification to TSPL by imposing a penalty but because the PPA is one side, the penalty applied will be slightly compared to the losses caused by this thermal plant failure.
Furthermore, according to the provisions of the PPAS, currently, it is not mandatory for the IPP to supply the power during the summer / rice peak period.
Therefore, taking advantage of the gap in the PPA, IPPS claimed the full fixed fee from PSPCL by supplying the power in the season when the state requires it.
