Inter-state power trading needs policy backup
Diesel, A Transportation Fuel, Is Cheaper For Power Generation Than Traditionally Used Liquid Fuel Jaideep Mishra NEW DELHI THERE are reports of crippling shortages of electricity pan-India and rising dieselisation in tandem, to fuel power generation. It seems to point at a deficit in policy making. Note that cross-country trading of electricity remains minuscule, notwithstanding nominally power surplus regions. It's also a fact that the margin on power trading remains clamped at a lowly 4 paise per unit. What's surely required is holistic energy policy.
