TN wind power producers seek Govt support

Chennai, Dec. 30 The Indian Wind Power Association has sought the intervention of the Tamil Nadu Government to direct the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board to return the wind energy banked with it by the wind energy producers.

According to a press release from the association, the TNEB is yet to implement the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (TNERC) order of November 28 directing the electricity board to return to the wind energy generators the 315 million units of power banked with it as of October 2008.

The commission has said the power has to be returned in five equal monthly instalments between December 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009.

The Commission had reiterated this point on December 24 while dismissing a review petition by the TNEB on this issue.
