CERC grants transmission licence to five ISTS schemes

 

Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), over the past one week, has granted transmission licence to as many as five interstate transmission system (ISTS) schemes. For each of these schemes, CERC has also completed the tariff adoption routine.

In several petitions issued since July 5, 2023, CERC has granted transmission licence and has adopted tariff for the following five ISTS schemes, awarded under the TBCB route.

  1. Khavda II-A Transmission Ltd
  2. KPS2 Transmission Ltd
  3. Khavda II-C Transmission Ltd
  4. ERWR Power Transmission Ltd
  5. Dharamjaigarh Transmission Ltd

While “Khavda II-A Transmission Ltd” was awarded to Adani Transmission Ltd, the remaining four schemes listed above have Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) as the developer.

It may also be mentioned that PGCIL, upon acquisition of the project SPV, has changed the project SPV’s original name, in three cases. Accordingly, #2 listed above is known as “Powergrid KPS2 Transmission Ltd.” Similarly, “Powergrid  ERWR Power Transmission Ltd” and “Powergrid Dharamjaigarh Transmission Ltd” are the new names of #4 and #5, respectively.

While T&D India has covered basic project details on each of these schemes through stories in the recent past, here are some interesting highlights on the bidding process.
