Andhra Pradesh Government has asked all wind and solar power developers to stop power production besides notifying all power units that they are curtailing wind power procurement by 100 percent. There are no written instructions but all the developers are given verbal instructions.
The companies are already fighting it out in the courts and now they have complained about the same to the central government as well. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy wrote to the State Government that except for the reasons of Grid Safety or Security, all the wind and solar projects should be in ‘must run’ status under the Electricity Act 2003.
The Ministry told the State Government that they shall be liable for the loss incurred by the Power Generators in case the Power is not taken except for the cases of Grid Safety and Security. It has to be seen if Jagan’s Government resuming honoring the PPAs.
On the other side, around 50 companies have knocked the door of the high court against the government’s decision to revise the PPAs signed during the TDP regime.
