While, the controversy over APGENCO’s proposal to terminate PPAs is still alive, a letter from AP government to Central Power Board seeking additional allocation of power supply from Central Power Plants creates havoc in T-political circles. The state principal secretary wrote a letter to principal secretary of Central Power Board principal secretary asking to justify power allocation to the state. He objects the G.O. No: 20 issued by the Central Board allotting 53.89 percent power supply to Telangana and only 46.11 percent to AP on the basis of consumption. He appeals for allotting 47.88 percent power supply from the Central Power plants.
Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu who is going to meet union minister of power Piyush Goel today evening is likely to stress this point. He may also appeal him to order the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (SRCLDC), Bangalore to allow termination of PPAs made with Telangana power distribution agencies prior to division of the state. Obviously, all these moves by AP government may irk the T-Government and thus further escalate tensions between two states.
