The Power Ministry has said that overdrawing states from the northern region (NR) should follow grid discipline or face power cut by the regional load despatch centre (RLDC). The RLDC has been authorized to take necessary steps in this regard so that overdrawing of power is curbed and grid discipline is maintained.
The Ministry has also asked plants operating on liquid fuel and gas to operate and not to remain idle especially when there has been a surge in demand and also a reduction in hydro-power generation following an onset of winter.
The Ministry has called upon GAIL India to explore option of procurement of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the spot market up to March 2008 so that power plants either closed down or running below their capacities can function fully.
"The Power Ministry will hold fortnightly review to assess the situation. All efforts will be made to maintain the grid discipline," said Mr Anil Razdan, Power Secretary.
The northern regional load despatch centre (NRLDC), operted by PowerGrid Corporation of India Ltd, has approached the central electricity regulatory commission (CERC) to review the unscheduled interchange charges to curb overdrawl of power by NR states.
