New UserCoal shortage: Centre likely to restart NTPC plants on imported gas
14 Jun 2022
The imported gas-produced
electricity might cost Rs 22-23 per unit, pegged at about four-five times
present tariffs, ET reported.
This could be the highest-ever
tariff however the final resort since all accessible energy plants are working
at full throttle to fulfill the excessive electricity demand amid
scorching climate situations, officers mentioned.
Power
ministry officers have held conferences with NTPC.
Sources
privy to the development told ET that the government is examining the
possibilities to operate gas-based power plants but there are a lot of challenges,
high tariffs being the biggest one.
“The
tariff in all scenarios is four-five times that of current tariffs, which puts
a question mark on acceptability by states,” ET quoted the source as saying.
