The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (Tangedco) has written to the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited, asking it to defer implementation of the scheme notified by the Union Ministry of Power to create a common pool of coal and gas-based power plants from central power stations, which have completed over 25 years of operations.
As per the scheme, a single-window system has been created through which the desired State distribution companies, including the existing beneficiaries, shall submit the willingness for power allocation (in terms of period and quantum) within 15 days from the formation of the common pool and enter a power purchase agreement for a minimum of five years from the date on which power is procured.
