The DISCOMs claimed that in light of the higher RPO targets set by the TSERC and increasing load growth at 8.9%, the procurement of solar power through the petitioned projects would help them comply with the same.ĭISCOMs sought the approval to procure 1,045 MW of solar power from NTPC and 500 MW of solar power from NHPC under Tranche-III of the Phase-II Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Program and 1,000 MW of solar power from SECI under Tranche-IX Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) Program.ĭISCOMs, in their petition, said that they had signed the Power Usage Agreements (PUAs) with NTPC at ₹2.45 (~$0.029)/kWh. The present renewable installed capacity tied up by the DISCOMs under power purchase agreements is 8,411.04 MW. But with the state’s growing demand, DISCOMs would be unable to meet the RPO targets set by TSERC.
