Report of the 6
th
Joint Co-ordination Committee Meeting of IPPs
Granted LTA in WR held on 27.09.2013
High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors IV (MP+Chhattisgarh),
High Capacity Power Transmission Corridors V (Chhattisgarh) and
Up-gradation of WR-NR tr. corridors with IPPs in Chhattisgarh


1. The 6
th
meeting of the Joint Co-ordination Committee of IPPs in WR associated with
various high capacity power transmission corridors was held in POWERGRID office,
Gurgaon on 27
th
September, 2013. The meeting was attended by CEA and the
representatives of IPPs who have been granted LTA in the Chhattisgarh complex and
M.P. The list of participants of the meeting is enclosed at Annexure-1.

2. POWERGRID welcomed the participants and made a presentation about the status of
implementation of transmission system including establishment of pooling stations in
these corridors. The location of pooling stations is enclosed at Annexure-2. The land for
all the pooling stations is under possession by POWERGRID. It was informed that for
implementation purpose, high capacity corridor in Chhattisgarh has been divided in nine
sub-projects, out of which 8 sub-projects are already under implementation. For
remaining 1 sub project the location of HVDC terminal point has been modified from
Dhule, Maharashtra in WR to Pugalur, Tamil Nadu in SR.

3. POWERGRID stated that it has been generally observed that generation developers
implement the interim transmission arrangement and after connecting to ISTS through
interim arrangement, they do not focus on implementing the final dedicated
transmission lines. It was emphasized by POWERGRID that interim arrangement have
been provided as a contingency measure, till the availability of final system. As a result,
transmission system constraints may be observed when IPPs are connected to the
network through LILO of existing lines. Therefore, to enable power evacuation from the
generation project, IPPs should also focus on implementation of final dedicated
transmission system along with the commissioning of generating units.

4. The progress of generation project and dedicated transmission system of various IPPs
connected to High capacity corridors which have been granted regulatory approval by
CERC, was reviewed by CEA & POWERGRID. The details are given in following
paragraphs:

a) Chhattisgarh Complex 14 no. IPPs have signed the BPTA and submitted the BG for this
corridor. List of IPPs in Chhattisgarh Complex is enclosed at Annexure-3.
