GUWAHATI, March 25 � The State Government is yet to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) on the issue of share of power from the Lower Subansiri Hydroelectric Power Project (LSHEP).
This was disclosed by Power Minister Pradyut Bordoloi at the State Assembly here today while replying to the debate on the demand for grant placed by his department for the 2013-14 fiscal.
The Central sector power company has assured 208 MW of power to the State. But the State has not accepted it. The State has demanded 600 MW of power, on top of a share of 6 per cent free power, from the project.
At a meeting chaired by Power Minister Veerappa Moily, the power company agreed to comply with the demand of the State for 600 MW of power. But an agreement to resolve the issue is yet to be inked, said the Minister.
