The deficit in the installed capacity as well as the energy availability as discussed above is likely to increase during the coming years unless corrective measures are planned immediately. In view of the above and recognizing the Ion" gestation periods necessary for large thermal / hydel projects, GDI through its resolution decided to permit private sector to establish power projects based on DG units using heavy fuel oils such as HFO, LSHS, etc as primary fuels.
In pursuance of the above policy of GOI Resolution, GOAP had announced a policy frame work vide G.O.Ms.No.l52 dated 29-11-1995 giving permission to private entrepreneurs to set up Mini Power Plants (MPP) based on residual fuels to cater the needs of industrial consumers in the state. The brief highlights of the policy are:
1. The MPPs are permitted to generate, sell power and collect revenue directly from the industrial consumer.
2. Power generated by MPPs will be supplied to its consumers through existing transmission network of APTRANSCO.
3. The total contracted maximum demand of the industrial consumers of MPP shall not exceed 1.5 times the net installed plant capacity.
4. Any excess power left with MPP up to 15% of the plant capacity can be purchased by APTRANSCO at higher of, the weighted average price of purchase of power made by APTRANSCO from central generating stations or the uniform variable cost on monthly basis and applicable to that month. The APTRANSCO can also purchase power be yond 15% of generation of the company at its option with our conferring pre-emptive right of sale on the company.
5. During schedule and unscheduled outages of the plant, APTRANSCO to extend back-up supply.
6. The energy adjustment between MPP and APTRANSCO shall be bi-monthly.
LVS power Limited was granted permission to set-up Mini Power Plant in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh and sell power directly to Industrial Consumers.
