AEG, Electrotherm cancel solar business pact

01 Nov 2011 CW Staff

In view of insufficient solar power projects, AEG Power Solutions and Electrotherm called off their agreement to collaborate in the solar power business in India. While Electrotherm was to provide EPC services for the projects, AEG was to assist in the solar photovoltaic market as well as deliver key components, including solar inverters and monitoring equipment.

Centre Plans Nationwide Opening Of Power Retail Market

India is preparing to open up its retail electricity market to private companies nationwide, effectively ending the long-standing monopoly of state-run power distributors in most regions, according to a draft bill released by the Union Power Ministry on Friday.
