Power Grid inks pacts with 37 private developers

25 Feb 2010 Evaluate

In a big push to private power generation capacity, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) on Wednesday signed long-term transmission pacts with 37 private developers, entailing a gross generation capacity of over 42,000 MW.

 

The signing of the pacts would help PGCIL to go ahead with the implementation of the seven proposed high-capacity transmission corridors for wheeling power from a bevy of private projects coming up in the eastern and southern States. The move, entailing investments of about Rs 48,000 crore, is aimed at facilitating transfer of electricity to the power-starved northern and western regions of the country.

 

The projects, including the 1,000-MW OP Jindal Super Thermal project and the 600-MW Lanco Amarkantak project (both in Chhattisgarh), the 1,200-MW Coastal Energen project in Tamil Nadu, the 300- MW Simhapuri and 900-MW Meenakshi Energy projects (both in Andhra Pradesh) and the Lanco-promoted Teesta-VI hydro project in Sikkim, are scheduled to come up over the next four years.

 

In all, 41 private project developers were invited for the signing of the pact and submission of back guarantees to PGCIL. Of these, 37 signed the long-term transmission agreements on Wednesday and 22 have furnished bank guarantees amounting to a total sum of Rs 835 crore. The remaining project developers are expected to submit the requisite bank guarantees by March 31.
