Posted on: 24/Oct/2012 3:27:16 PM
Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa has made a fresh appeal to the Union government to relocate the enitre quantum of surrendered power by the Delhi Government to Tamil Nadu on Tuesday(23Oct,2012).
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday(23Oct,2012), a copy of which was released to the media, Jayalalithaa said the government of national capital territory of Delhi had proposed to surrender power from various central generating stations for the period between November 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The quantum is estimated at 230 MW for 24 hours and 1,491 MW for six hours ending 6 am.
There is a severe shortage of power due to failure in the south-west monsoon and constraints the state faces in buying power from sources outside the southern region, due to corridor congestion. The agriculture sector has also been amongst the worst hit due to failure of monsoon and inadequate power supply, affecting the food production.
