CERC proposes national APPC at Rs 3.60/kWh

The CERC has proposed to fix the national average power purchase cost (APPC) for 2019-20 at Rs 3.60 per kWh. The APPC has been calculated by computing the average of APPC of all states and union territories (UTs), weighted by the volume of conventional power purchased by the respective state/UT. The commission has invited stakeholder comments on the proposed determination of APPC by May 28, 2019.
