PMO directs Coal India to ink all FSA’s by November end

11 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has directed state-owned Coal India (CIL) to ink all fuel supply agreements (FSAs) with power companies by November end, even if the latter do not have binding pacts for sale of electricity. Besides, the PMO has asked the Power Ministry to verify and appraise the Coal Ministry on long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). FSA’s would now be signed with power companies having long-term and medium term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) based on confirmation from Power Ministry that it is benefitting the consumers.

Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Pulok Chatterjee convened a meeting on October 10, 2012, to sort out issues delaying signing of fuel supply agreements (FSA) between CIL and power producers, where in the same was decided. The meeting was attended by Coal Secretary S K Srivastava, Joint Secretary (Thermal) in the Power Ministry ICP Kesari, Coal India Chairman and Managing Director S Narsing Rao, among others.

Further, on price pooling mechanism, it was decided during the meeting that the Power Ministry will soon come out with more details. Coal India’s board has approved model FSA agreement which mandates 65 percent of coal to be supplied through the domestic coal available and 15 percent on import cost plus basis.
