Get govt help to cut costs: CERC to Power Grid
To reduce customer burden, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has directed Power Grid Corp to seek government's help to reduce capital costs. Following delays in hydel projects, Power Grid's ₹12,000 crore high-voltage direct current line will remain underutilised for two-three years. Transmission charges for various lines are shared in the proportion of capacity allocated to users.
