Tata Power, CLP fight over Jhajjar Plant operation

Tata Power has challenged CLP India's claim that its Jhajjar plant has started commercial operation, a declaration that allows generation companies to start billing discoms for fixed charges even if the committed electricity is not supplied.

In a petition before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), Tata Power has described CLP's declaration as "illegal". It has also claimed suffering financial losses due to CLP's action. CLP India is the fully-owned arm of the Hong Kong-based CLP Holdings Ltd. It is largest foreign investor in India's power sector and has invested Rs 12,000 crore through. The company's projects span six states with a total capacity of 2,700 mw. The Jhajjar plant in Haryana, near the national Capital, is its biggest project and has a capacity of 1,320-mw.
