Move will kill industrial development, they say
The Uttar Pradesh unit of Federation of Chamber Of Commerce of India (FICCI) has written to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath raising objections against the state government’s introduction of cross-subsidy charges on open access electricity consumers.
“Most of our members of FICCI have conveyed their deep concerns regarding cross subsidy charges being imposed on Open Access Consumers vide Electricity Tariff Order for the year 2020-21 from nil to ₹1.56 per unit,” Sharad Jaipuria, Chairman, FICCI UP State Council, has written in the letter.
“This steep hike in cross subsidy charges for industrial units during this unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic year 2020, which is still persisting, is highly uncalled for and is not conducive for industrial development as well as for investment-oriented sentiment generated so far by your good offices,” the letter continues.
ASE4PL, a subsidiary of Adani Green Energy, commissioned 100 MW (2x50 MW) Solar Power Plants at Jalalabad in Shahjahanpur district
and Sahaswan in Budaun district of Uttar Pradesh. The plants were commissioned almost 1 month ahead to their scheduled commissioning date.
Both the plants have Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation
(UPPCL) at Rs. 3.22/kWh and 3.19/kWh, for a period of 25 years.
With this, the company has added a capacity of 700 MW capacity since the beginning of challenging
COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This places AGEL s total renewable portfolio of 14,815 MW well on
track to reach its vision of 25 GW capacity by 2025.
