CERC grants temporary relief to Adani Power to offset costlier coal import

04 Apr 2013 Evaluate

In a major relief for Adani Power, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has offered a ‘compensation package’ to offset losses on account of the unexpected increase in the prices of imported coal and the unavailability of domestic coal for its 4,620-MW Mundra plant. However, the compensation packaged will be revised or removed when the company starts coming out of the woods.

The company had petitioned the CERC that it had become economically unviable to sell electricity to Gujarat and Haryana State utilities at rates decided in 2007-08, given the steep rise in the price of Indonesian coal, which the company imports to operate its power plant.

However the ruling was disagreed with one of the commission’s member, S Jayaraman, who contended that the company was using notifications of the Indonesian Government as an opportunity to cover some of its commercial risks or to improve its margins further.

Further, in its order CERC decided to set up a committee within a week that would suggest various measures that can be taken up, however, the final report will be submitted by the panel only by April 30.
