Power sector employees up in arms against attempts to ‘privatise’ Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station
The Hindu
The main argument being advanced in favour of entrusting the O&M of SDSTPS to interested companies is that its variable cost of generation is high at ₹3.14 per KWH
Employees of the Andhra Pradesh (A. P.) power utilities are seething with anger at the government’s decision to hand over the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) of Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS), at Krishnapatnam in Nellore district, to private companies for which the Cabinet has given its nod last month. The unrest among them has since grown due to reports that bids are going to be invited soon.
The main argument being advanced in favour of entrusting the O&M of SDSTPS to interested companies for 25 years is that its variable cost of generation is high at ₹3.14 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to private generators like the nearby Sembcorp Gayatri Power Limited (SGPL)‘s ₹2.14 per KWH.
