UP to buy power from Gujarat

The Uttar Pradesh Government entered into a year long power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Gujarat Government and private utility Adani Power for 600 MW of electricity.The state government's move helped narrow the demand supply gap. As per a report of the Central Electricity Authority, the state received 6,028 MW power in June against a requirement of around 6,564 MW. The PPA has been introduced at a time when Gujarat is facing a problem of over supply. There are few takers for its 3,000 MW of surplus power, which is set to double in the coming months as private power producers add capacity.Contact: Adani Power.Tel: 079-2555 6900.
