Appellate Tribunal fixes amount based on POSOCO report
The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (Aptel) has directed Tangedco and the Tamil Nadu State Load Despatch Centre to jointly pay compensation to solar energy developers for curtailment of generation from March 1 to June 30, 2017. The tribunal had asked the Power System Operation Corporation Ltd. (POSOCO) to prepare a report on the issue. Based on the report, it concluded that the curtailment instructions were issued for reasons other than grid security and fixed the compensation at 75% of the tariff per unit as per the power purchase agreements.More Related News
