2017. With the accreditation our company will trade power
as an independent trader. Power will be procured from other
Accredition By Central Electricity Regulatory CommissionGenerating Companies (GENCos) through Bilateral
Agreements. Our company will contribute more to the
Growth of the Nation.
The trading of surplus power in the market will pave the way for
effective utilisation of generating capacity of GENCos by
catering to needy procurers by utilising the surrendered /
surplus power which otherwise would have gone waste.
