Reliance Power Limited (R-Power) has approached the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to revise the tariff of all of its 3 Ultra Mega Power Projects in the country.
Tilaiya UMPP
According to the company, the cost of Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) has been increased seven fold from Rs. 530 Crores to Rs. 3,500 Crores over the original pre-bid estimated. The increase in project cost has led most of the lenders to doubt the bankability of the Project.
- Due to this it has asked the CERC to revise the tariff of its Tilaiya UMPP (Jharkhand) to RS. 2.25 per unit which is more than 25% increase from the bid price of Rs. 1.77 per unit.
Sasan UMPP
R-Power has also sought compensation from the government for the falling rupee and cost escalation due to increase in taxes and input costs for its 4,000 MW Sasan UMPP at Madhya Pradesh
Krishnapatnam UMPP
- Krishnapatnam UMPP in Andhra Pradesh, which is based on imported coal, is facing regulatory issues over rise in coal prices and water costs.
- R-Power has sought a revision in tariff after Indonesia increased coal prices.
