Tangedco has sought clarification in a Central Electricity Regulatory Commission’s suo motu order allowing generation companies to blend domestic coal with up to 20% of alternative sources, including imported coal, without taking permission from the beneficiaries (distribution companies).
On July 26, 2022, the Commission issued the order amid coal shortage and said it would remain operative till October 31 this year or until further orders, whichever is earlier. For blending the imported coal, generation companies were allowed to pass on the cost to the distribution companies.
