Telugu States to fight some more time over Power!

It is known to our readers that the Union Government has pressed Central Electrical Authority (CEA) to solve the ongoing power issues between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh over the cancellation of PPAs and Power sharing in Krishnapatnam and Hinduja Power Plants. CEA has invited both the states for a meeting on 22nd of this month.

CEA is expected to deliver its final decision in this meeting. However CEA has postponed the meeting in the last minute. CEA has sent letters to both the states that the meeting will not be happening on 22nd as planned earlier. The letters do not intimate about the reason for the postponement and the new dates of the meeting.

According to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, the power available in United State is divided according to the usage of the power in each region over the last 10 years. Accordingly Telangana is given 52.12% power generated in the state and AP is given the rest of the 47.88% power. However AP has withdrew few unapproved PPAs and is refusing Power for Telangana in some plants. They are also refusing power for Telangana in new plants like Krishnapatnam and Hinduja where there are no PPAs at all.
