NTPC planning to load cheaper power first: Report

15 Jun 2018 Evaluate

NTPC is reportedly planning a power dispatch schedule wherein cheaper power will be loaded first into the grid and dispatch accordingly as per the tariff.  The move aims to reduce the cost of power for state-owned power distribution companies (discoms) that are facing financial difficulties. This approach will replace the existing merit order dispatch of power, which is based on availability.

About half of the company’s 40.4 Gw coal-based installed capacity, generates power at Rs 3 or even lower. The power utility company will add a 5,000-Mw coal-based capacity this year.

The average tariff of the company has not increased in the past five years and remained in the range of Rs 3.23-3.25 per unit. This is despite the cost of coal increasing by 35 per cent during the same period.

NTPC is the largest power utility company in India and has presence in Coal, Gas, Solar PV, Hydro and Wind Power Generation and Coal Mining.
