Chandrababu Naidu government continues to debate the fate of the controversial solar power deal, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has defended the «transfer» of the 2,333 mw power project from Azure to Adani Group before the apex power regulator, citing Andhra Pradesh's power requirement and unchanged terms and conditions of the contract, ET has learnt.
In a December 7, 2024 submission to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), SECI stated that «Andhra Pradesh had sought for such supply and SECI could finalise the generation and supply of such quantum by Adani Group on the same terms and conditions».
It underlined that the transfer to Adani Group did not affect «the essential terms» on which the regulatory approval was given for the overall Andhra power project by the CERC on April 2, 2022.
«The additional allocation made to Adani Group companies is within the quantum for which e-reverse auction was held and parties were selected, and the quantum of 9,234 mw was approved by the commission,» SECI added.
It further pointed out that it had «not deviated from the tariff adopted and approved by the commission» in the transfer process.
