8The energy charge is capped at Rs 2.50/unit with an additional fixed charge of Rs1.25/unit, totaling Rs3.75/kWh below average IEX rates, signaling state support for cement sector competitiveness.
Supply tied to Raghunathpur TPS: No change in generation profile
8The allocation is source-specific Raghunathpur TPS Stage-I, ensuring no load dilution elsewhere. DVC’s generation planning remains unaffected.
Shree Cement allowed open access through DVC lines
8DVC will facilitate transmission of the 25 MW to Shree Cement’s load centre via open access on its own system. No ISTS use means no CTU involvement easing integration.
Tariff and scheduling through DVC: No CERC/PPA route
8The power will be scheduled, billed, and paid for under DVC’s system. No central tariff or separate PPA, indicating streamlined intra-state control.
Allocation valid till Section 11 remains in force
8The 25 MW allocation is temporary effective only as long as Section 11 directions are active. This could be revoked with policy shifts.
Order bypasses standard competitive procurement norms
8Power is allocated administratively rather than through bidding or DEEP portal raising questions on transparency but justified under force majeure-like Section 11 conditions.
State industries quietly gain amid power stress
8While DISCOMs face LC shortfalls and merit order rejections, captive industrial buyers like Shree Cement are getting direct MoP allocations suggesting backchannel balancing.
No impact on grid security as no interregional flow involved
8Since the supply is entirely intra-DVC and does not touch ISTS or NLDC scheduling, no additional transmission security risk is introduced.
Raghunathpur TPS gets partial guaranteed offtake
8With this allocation, Raghunathpur TPS improves its PLF certainty amid low merchant realizations. A 25 MW carve-out may appear small, but adds fixed-charge reliability.

Coal stock status: An analysis
Jun 05:
31 critical plants below 25% coal stock buffer
8As of 1 June 2025, 31 plants reported critical or supercritical coal stock levels. Of these, 20 had less than 3 days' supply, risking forced unit derations during monsoon volatility.
Coal pithead stations paradoxically understocked
8Even plants near coal mines like Durgapur, GMR Warora, and Barh-II show 0–1 day stocks raising concerns of evacuation or allocation mismatch despite pithead proximity.
NTPC’s Barh-II hits zero days of coal again
8Barh-II recorded 0 days of coal despite being a central pithead plant with dedicated linkage highlighting persistent logistical or prioritization gaps.
Maharashtra’s power fleet: 5 plants below 2 days stock
8Chandrapur, Parli, Koradi, Khaparkheda, and Nashik continue to operate on razor-thin coal margins in Maharashtra exposing state utilities to monsoon-linked dispatch risks.
North India vulnerable: No rail rake, no road stock
8Stations in Punjab and Haryana face simultaneous shortage of both rail-delivered and road-delivered coal Talwandi Sabo and Ropar have no rakes in queue.
Private IPPs outpace state units in stock sufficiency
8 JSW, Adani and other private players maintain higher coal buffer (5–12 days average), while many state-run plants struggle below 4 days indicating stronger logistics and planning resilience.
No change in imported coal stockpile: 0.20 MT stuck
8 Imported coal usage remains stagnant with 0.20 MT stock across 11 plants showing poor traction on import contracts despite Ministry pressure.
10 GW capacity tagged ‘supercritical’ by CEA
8Over 10,000 MW capacity was flagged as ‘supercritical’ coal-short as per CEA norms, with no rake movement on 1 June risking dispatch curtailment in peak hours.
Plants report NIL rakes received despite requisition
8Anpara, Rayalaseema, Kahalgaon, Mauda, Panipat, and Singrauli show NIL rakes received suggesting failure in last-mile logistics or prioritization.
Southern region holds firm: Andhra and Telangana plants stable
8Unlike North and West, most Southern plants reported more than 5 days of stock. Krishnapatnam, Rayalaseema and Kothagudem showed improved rail-fed replenishment.

NRPC RE sub-committee reconvenes amid rising curtailment alarms
8With monsoon RE generation poised to surge, the June session is expected to address congestion, curtailment risk, and regulatory compliance gaps especially at ISTS-connected solar and hybrid hubs in Rajasthan.
12 June is cut-off: Members risk agenda exclusion if silent
8Participants have until 12 June to submit key agenda items. Missing this deadline could block deliberation on new RE integration projects or deviation settlement concerns for Q2 FY26.
Record turnout expected: 80+ solar and hybrid firms summoned
8From Adani and Azure to Hero and ReNew, more than 80 RE developers have been invited. The meeting signals tighter coordination ahead of July’s peak ramping and SCED recalibration efforts.
Hybrid bottlenecks on the radar as Jaisalmer zone leads additions
8With multiple Adani and SB Energy hybrid sites going live near Jaisalmer, the sub-committee may focus on ISTS congestion management, forecasting accuracy, and dynamic line loadability in RE-heavy corridors.
SCADA visibility, SLDC data integrity may face scrutiny again
8Recurring gaps in telemetry, scheduling errors, and low-fidelity forecast submission are likely to re-emerge particularly for plants lacking primary response compliance or real-time generation tracking.
Behind-the-meter capacity disclosures may trigger compliance debate
8Unregistered behind-the-meter capacity and uncoordinated export injections have recently surfaced as systemic risks. The forum may push stricter reporting norms for C&I and IPP developers.
RE pooling substations under stress: nodal CTU may face hard queries
8With pooling station loading surges reported in recent OCCs, CTU may be asked to explain long-term decongestion timelines and real-time remedial actions under dynamic load flows.
Policy-action disconnect: RE execs flag lag in state-level nods
8Sources hint at mounting frustration among RE firms over delayed SLDC approvals for revised scheduling and storage integration potentially pushing for NRPC-level escalation mechanisms.

Monsoon blackout risks rise: July outage load hits peak corridors
8Planned shutdowns for transmission lines and generators in July will be scrutinized for their impact on Delhi–UP–Rajasthan corridors during high-demand, high-RE volatility weeks. Expect tough vetting of outage overlaps and contingency slack.
10 June is final call for outage entries: No portal, no schedule
8NRPC warns that entities failing to upload July outage proposals via the OCC portal by 10 June will forfeit processing rights. Discoms and generators risk non-clearance for planned works during peak season.
No-shows risk quorum breach: 12 entities yet to name delegates
8Despite repeated follow-ups, over a dozen OCC constituents have not confirmed their representatives. This jeopardizes quorum-sensitive outage finalizations and could delay grid-critical work approvals.
NRPC flags tight timelines: 232nd OCC to clear entire July calendar
8With mounting system complexity, NRPC’s two-day session (16–17 June) aims to clear July's full roster of outages. Expect an intense round of approvals, rejections, and real-time coordination mandates.
Genco–Discom coordination under lens as outage overlaps escalate
8Recent OCC data shows rising trend of overlapping generator and line outages without coordination. The upcoming session will pressure states and central generators to justify sequencing and ensure minimal RE curtailment.
RE-rich states may face outage restrictions if ramping buffers fall
8With July’s solar and wind ramp-up expected to peak, NRPC may impose outage curbs on corridors with tight ramping or voltage buffers especially affecting Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Western UP interfaces.
SCADA granularity and outage tagging compliance to face fresh scrutiny
8Unstated but expected: constituents lagging on SCADA-linked tagging accuracy and real-time outage data submissions may face stronger action. System visibility gaps are under central scanner post SRPC anomalies.
Market-dispatch sync gaps likely to draw RLDC attention
8Northern RLDC is likely to flag recent short-term market mismatches where declared outages diverged from actual availability. This impacts RTM visibility and forces reactive grid balancing.

Tamil Nadu loses 964 MW CGS share as outages stack up
8A 745 MW outage at lignite and coastal plants, plus a 219 MW shortfall on 12-May, wiped nearly 50% of TN’s 1999 MW CGS entitlement. Grid balance collapsed during the evening ramp STOA buffers proved inadequate.
Narendra–Pune delay deepens: export corridor pushed to Sep-25
8Planned for July 2024, the 765 kV inter-regional link is now delayed by two months due to fresh RoW issues. NLDC warns angular separation at Narendra Kolhapur risks breaching 30° under monsoon N-1 events.
AUFLS SCADA rollout remains frozen at <25%
8Despite previous warnings, no new SCADA integrations occurred. Only 4 out of 13 substations are visible to RLDCs undermining fast-response automation for 49 Hz containment.
Frequency dip to 49.42 Hz avoided, but fragility persists
8The extreme under-frequency event recorded on 21-April did not recur in May. But with major corridors still under repair, system inertia and response time margins remain dangerously thin.
Pavagada FSC restored after 8.5-month blackout
8Offline since 31-Aug-2024, the Fixed Series Capacitor was revived on 17-May. NLDC notes 3 of 6 FSCs in SR remain out raising fresh demands for corridor-wise redeployment.
SPS logic revised at Hosur, but still no field test
8After a 240 MW load-shed in March, revised Special Protection Scheme logic was shared in April. Yet TANTRANSCO has not implemented the LC or validated the patch leaving the grid exposed.
Puducherry misfires on RTM: 50 MW shortfall declared, 40 MW sold
8On 14-May, Puducherry declared a power shortage while simultaneously offloading power on RTM. SRLDC flagged a 60 MW deviation pointing to poor load forecasting and commercial misalignment.

Tamil Nadu secures 266 MW more from Kudankulam Stage-2
8MoP reallocates 266 MW additional share to Tamil Nadu from NPCIL’s KKNPP Stage-2 (Unit 3 & 4). This boosts state entitlements amid growing demand and cuts inter-state dependency.
KKNPP Unit 3–4 now 100% Tamil Nadu-owned
8With this order, Tamil Nadu becomes sole beneficiary of 2x1000 MW from KKNPP Stage-2. Earlier allocations to Kerala and Karnataka have been withdrawn entirely.
Kerala and Karnataka lose entire KKNPP Stage-2 allocation
8Kerala’s 60 MW and Karnataka’s 284 MW from KKNPP Stage-2 have been reallocated to Tamil Nadu. This marks a significant central policy shift favoring the host state.
MoP invokes Section 62(1) of the Electricity Act for reallocation
8The reallocation order is issued under Section 62(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003—highlighting central authority in tariff-based allocations of nuclear power.
KKNPP Stage-2 exits inter-state allocation framework
8With Tamil Nadu taking full entitlement, NPCIL’s KKNPP Stage-2 is removed from the broader inter-state allocation pool—reconfiguring South India's power balance.
Stage-2 power to be supplied under regulated tariff only
8NPCIL has been directed to supply the reallocated 266 MW to TANGEDCO strictly under regulated tariff, maintaining tariff discipline despite full state allocation.
Order overrides 2014 MoP allocation framework
8This new order supersedes the Ministry’s 2014 allocation instructions, marking a departure from shared federal beneficiary models in nuclear energy.
Allocation change signals future trend for nuclear host states
8The 100% allocation to Tamil Nadu could set precedent for future nuclear plants, where host states may seek full entitlement during commissioning.
TANGEDCO gains strategic base-load nuclear buffer
8With sole access to 2 GW nuclear capacity at KKNPP, TANGEDCO now secures a long-term firm supply hedge against variable renewables and thermal volatility.
NPCIL directed to modify PPAs and scheduling accordingly
8The order instructs NPCIL to amend all scheduling and commercial documentation to reflect the revised Tamil Nadu-exclusive allocation—ensuring billing realignment.

IEX: Weekly review
Jun 02:
Grid frequency hits 49.42 Hz as overdrawals persist
8Despite AUFLS being in place, ER grid frequency crashed to 49.42 Hz in April. No corrective evidence in May OCC. NLDC red-flagged overdrawals by Bihar and WBSEDCL both yet to show remedial action.
Patna islanding DPR still missing; only Siemens data submitted
8Bihar SLDC has yet to finalize the DPR for islanding. Only Siemens provided a detailed cost estimate. NPC flagged the gap again, warning that the region lacks resilience in case of grid collapse.
TRAS compliance absent despite CERC mandate
8No SLDC in Eastern Region submitted evidence of primary frequency response testing. This violates CERC order 2/SM/2025 and blocks POSOCO’s ability to validate TRAS performance.
UFR SCADA mapping stuck below 25% in Bihar, zero in Jharkhand
8No progress since April. Bihar’s SCADA mapping still covers only 130 MW out of 1578 MW of UFR feeders; Jharkhand reports zero SCADA linkage for Stage 3 and 4 a systemic blackout risk if frequency drops.
ERS drill logs missing from Odisha and Jharkhand
8Both states failed to submit mandatory ERS mock drill records for yet another quarter. Odisha is now four quarters overdue. No evidence that drills were conducted a silent failure in disaster preparedness.
HP-DAM sees zero buyer interest for second month
8Despite 93,568 MWh sell volume offered on June 2, no transactions cleared under the High Price DAM segment. April also saw zero cleared volume pointing to poor design or lack of buyer-side incentives.

Eastern India: Some critical issues
Jun 02:
Frequency floor collapses to 49.42 Hz as overdrawl spikes across ER
8Grid frequency dropped to 49.42 Hz in April, well below the IEGC tolerance band. Sustained overdrawl by Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal forced NLDC to escalate directly to Principal Secretaries. No structured action recorded in May minutes.
Farakka islanding remains blocked due to Lalmatia line delays
8Despite repeated OCC flags, Farakka’s islanding continues to hinge on the pending Lalmatia line. NTPC cites single-line dependency and power evacuation risks. No workaround or progress shown in the May meeting.
IBTPS islanding hits stalemate; Odisha SLDC non-responsive
8NPC's concern over lack of progress on IBTPS islanding went unaddressed in May. No reply from Odisha SLDC, no status update — a critical reliability risk in the Eastern corridor.
Bihar UFR SCADA coverage stuck at 130 MW vs 1578 MW required
8Bihar has mapped just 130 MW of UFR under SCADA against a requirement of 1578 MW. No movement since April. This breaks compliance with IEGC 2023 and compromises automatic frequency protection.
HP-DAM segment logs zero buy bids for second consecutive month
8HP-DAM saw no cleared volumes despite high sell-side availability in April and May. Persistent non-participation suggests either price-setting inefficiencies or structural design issues in the high-price window.
Emergency Restoration Systems (ERS) audit still not launched
8OCC flagged the need for a unified ERS audit in April. Yet by May, no pan-ERPC stock audit is initiated. Only Powergrid and OPTCL show full inventory; others lag without scrutiny.
Mock islanding drills unreported in multiple states
8Bihar, Sikkim, and parts of Jharkhand haven’t submitted islanding mock drill reports in either meeting. With monsoon vulnerabilities approaching, untested plans remain a blind spot.
DPL and Kolaghat plants continue operating with sub-60% coal stocks
8While Jharkhand improved to over 190% stock in May, WBPDCL stations like DPL and Kolaghat remain critically understocked at 51–55%, well below the safety buffer.

NERPC: 225th and 226th OCC Minutes reveal repeated delays in Northeast gas and hydro revival
May 30:
Baramura Unit-4 stuck in limbo as fuel and rotor issues collide
8Despite prior commitments, Tripura’s Baramura Unit-4 remains offline in the 226th OCC due to an unresolved rotor problem compounded by TNGL’s continued inability to restore gas supply. The promised early-May revival has now slipped further, forcing deeper reliance on alternate capacity.
Rokhia Units 7 & 8 return but red flags remain on technical depth
8While Rokhia Unit-7 was revived by May 5 and Unit-8 by May 10, the outages driven by chamber leakage and bearing issues required sustained OEM intervention. The recovery may be complete, but the frequency of shutdowns raises fresh questions on Tripura’s preventive maintenance regime.
Kameng HEP recovery delayed again as rotor repair stumbles
8Kameng HEP’s Unit-2, earlier targeted for May 2025 revival, has now slipped to June following failure in aligning the stator and rotor due to a V-block issue. With no additional capacity stepping in, the delay continues to affect peak management and frequency control in Arunachal Pradesh.
Khandong hydro revival timeline unmoved Unit-II remains silent
8The 226th OCC shows no acceleration in Khandong’s recovery. Unit-I is still pegged for May, and Unit-II lacks any update since the 225th OCC. Nearly two years after flood damage, the delay signals deeper structural and contractual issues with repair execution.
LTPS Unit-7 revives, providing Assam short-term grid relief
8After being offline for over a year due to severe vibration, LTPS Unit-7 was finally revived on May 4. The unit’s return brings temporary relief to Assam’s gas-based supply cushion but its past unreliability underscores fragile asset health.
NER’s hydro assets fail to contain price spikes amid DAM-RTM split
8Hydro assets like Kameng and Khandong remain critical for grid stability, yet continued outages have left DAM prices exposed. Even with excess availability in RTM, lack of hydro balancing pushed DAM prices past ?5000/MWh in recent blocks, revealing structural dispatch imbalance.
Frequency response metrics show no progress; Kameng and Doyang flagged
8Both OCC meetings highlighted poor FRP scores from Kameng and Doyang units. With frequency excursions increasing, NERPC has demanded concrete action plans, but no turnaround measures were confirmed in either session raising system reliability concerns.
OEM sluggishness and fuel insecurity now systemic across Northeast assets
8Across both meetings, the dominant theme is clear: gas-based plants are throttled by fuel non-availability while hydro recovery remains hostage to OEM delays. This double-bind is steadily eroding the Northeast’s base load confidence heading into the monsoon season.

MoP bypasses market norms to allocate 25 MW to Shree cement under section 11

MoP allocates 25 MW to Shree Cement under Section 11
8Ministry of Power approves 25 MW firm allocation to Shree Cement from DVC’s Raghunathpur TPS Stage-I. Order dated 4 June 2025 invokes Section 11, ensuring industrial supply continuity.
DVC to supply power at Rs 2.50/kWh plus fixed charge
8The energy charge is capped at Rs 2.50/unit with an additional fixed charge of Rs1.25/unit, totaling Rs3.75/kWh below average IEX rates, signaling state support for cement sector competitiveness.
Supply tied to Raghunathpur TPS: No change in generation profile
8The allocation is source-specific Raghunathpur TPS Stage-I, ensuring no load dilution elsewhere. DVC’s generation planning remains unaffected.
Shree Cement allowed open access through DVC lines
8DVC will facilitate transmission of the 25 MW to Shree Cement’s load centre via open access on its own system. No ISTS use means no CTU involvement easing integration.
Tariff and scheduling through DVC: No CERC/PPA route
8The power will be scheduled, billed, and paid for under DVC’s system. No central tariff or separate PPA, indicating streamlined intra-state control.
Allocation valid till Section 11 remains in force
8The 25 MW allocation is temporary effective only as long as Section 11 directions are active. This could be revoked with policy shifts.
Order bypasses standard competitive procurement norms
8Power is allocated administratively rather than through bidding or DEEP portal raising questions on transparency but justified under force majeure-like Section 11 conditions.
State industries quietly gain amid power stress
8While DISCOMs face LC shortfalls and merit order rejections, captive industrial buyers like Shree Cement are getting direct MoP allocations suggesting backchannel balancing.
No impact on grid security as no interregional flow involved
8Since the supply is entirely intra-DVC and does not touch ISTS or NLDC scheduling, no additional transmission security risk is introduced.
Raghunathpur TPS gets partial guaranteed offtake
8With this allocation, Raghunathpur TPS improves its PLF certainty amid low merchant realizations. A 25 MW carve-out may appear small, but adds fixed-charge reliability.

Coal stock status: An analysis
Jun 05:
31 critical plants below 25% coal stock buffer
8As of 1 June 2025, 31 plants reported critical or supercritical coal stock levels. Of these, 20 had less than 3 days' supply, risking forced unit derations during monsoon volatility.
Coal pithead stations paradoxically understocked
8Even plants near coal mines like Durgapur, GMR Warora, and Barh-II show 0–1 day stocks raising concerns of evacuation or allocation mismatch despite pithead proximity.
NTPC’s Barh-II hits zero days of coal again
8Barh-II recorded 0 days of coal despite being a central pithead plant with dedicated linkage highlighting persistent logistical or prioritization gaps.
Maharashtra’s power fleet: 5 plants below 2 days stock
8Chandrapur, Parli, Koradi, Khaparkheda, and Nashik continue to operate on razor-thin coal margins in Maharashtra exposing state utilities to monsoon-linked dispatch risks.
North India vulnerable: No rail rake, no road stock
8Stations in Punjab and Haryana face simultaneous shortage of both rail-delivered and road-delivered coal Talwandi Sabo and Ropar have no rakes in queue.
Private IPPs outpace state units in stock sufficiency
8 JSW, Adani and other private players maintain higher coal buffer (5–12 days average), while many state-run plants struggle below 4 days indicating stronger logistics and planning resilience.
No change in imported coal stockpile: 0.20 MT stuck
8 Imported coal usage remains stagnant with 0.20 MT stock across 11 plants showing poor traction on import contracts despite Ministry pressure.
10 GW capacity tagged ‘supercritical’ by CEA
8Over 10,000 MW capacity was flagged as ‘supercritical’ coal-short as per CEA norms, with no rake movement on 1 June risking dispatch curtailment in peak hours.
Plants report NIL rakes received despite requisition
8Anpara, Rayalaseema, Kahalgaon, Mauda, Panipat, and Singrauli show NIL rakes received suggesting failure in last-mile logistics or prioritization.
Southern region holds firm: Andhra and Telangana plants stable
8Unlike North and West, most Southern plants reported more than 5 days of stock. Krishnapatnam, Rayalaseema and Kothagudem showed improved rail-fed replenishment.

NRPC RE sub-committee reconvenes amid rising curtailment alarms
8With monsoon RE generation poised to surge, the June session is expected to address congestion, curtailment risk, and regulatory compliance gaps especially at ISTS-connected solar and hybrid hubs in Rajasthan.
12 June is cut-off: Members risk agenda exclusion if silent
8Participants have until 12 June to submit key agenda items. Missing this deadline could block deliberation on new RE integration projects or deviation settlement concerns for Q2 FY26.
Record turnout expected: 80+ solar and hybrid firms summoned
8From Adani and Azure to Hero and ReNew, more than 80 RE developers have been invited. The meeting signals tighter coordination ahead of July’s peak ramping and SCED recalibration efforts.
Hybrid bottlenecks on the radar as Jaisalmer zone leads additions
8With multiple Adani and SB Energy hybrid sites going live near Jaisalmer, the sub-committee may focus on ISTS congestion management, forecasting accuracy, and dynamic line loadability in RE-heavy corridors.
SCADA visibility, SLDC data integrity may face scrutiny again
8Recurring gaps in telemetry, scheduling errors, and low-fidelity forecast submission are likely to re-emerge particularly for plants lacking primary response compliance or real-time generation tracking.
Behind-the-meter capacity disclosures may trigger compliance debate
8Unregistered behind-the-meter capacity and uncoordinated export injections have recently surfaced as systemic risks. The forum may push stricter reporting norms for C&I and IPP developers.
RE pooling substations under stress: nodal CTU may face hard queries
8With pooling station loading surges reported in recent OCCs, CTU may be asked to explain long-term decongestion timelines and real-time remedial actions under dynamic load flows.
Policy-action disconnect: RE execs flag lag in state-level nods
8Sources hint at mounting frustration among RE firms over delayed SLDC approvals for revised scheduling and storage integration potentially pushing for NRPC-level escalation mechanisms.

Monsoon blackout risks rise: July outage load hits peak corridors
8Planned shutdowns for transmission lines and generators in July will be scrutinized for their impact on Delhi–UP–Rajasthan corridors during high-demand, high-RE volatility weeks. Expect tough vetting of outage overlaps and contingency slack.
10 June is final call for outage entries: No portal, no schedule
8NRPC warns that entities failing to upload July outage proposals via the OCC portal by 10 June will forfeit processing rights. Discoms and generators risk non-clearance for planned works during peak season.
No-shows risk quorum breach: 12 entities yet to name delegates
8Despite repeated follow-ups, over a dozen OCC constituents have not confirmed their representatives. This jeopardizes quorum-sensitive outage finalizations and could delay grid-critical work approvals.
NRPC flags tight timelines: 232nd OCC to clear entire July calendar
8With mounting system complexity, NRPC’s two-day session (16–17 June) aims to clear July's full roster of outages. Expect an intense round of approvals, rejections, and real-time coordination mandates.
Genco–Discom coordination under lens as outage overlaps escalate
8Recent OCC data shows rising trend of overlapping generator and line outages without coordination. The upcoming session will pressure states and central generators to justify sequencing and ensure minimal RE curtailment.
RE-rich states may face outage restrictions if ramping buffers fall
8With July’s solar and wind ramp-up expected to peak, NRPC may impose outage curbs on corridors with tight ramping or voltage buffers especially affecting Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Western UP interfaces.
SCADA granularity and outage tagging compliance to face fresh scrutiny

8Planned for July 2024, the 765 kV inter-regional link is now delayed by two months due to fresh RoW issues. NLDC warns angular separation at Narendra Kolhapur risks breaching 30° under monsoon N-1 events.
AUFLS SCADA rollout remains frozen at <25%
8Despite previous warnings, no new SCADA integrations occurred. Only 4 out of 13 substations are visible to RLDCs undermining fast-response automation for 49 Hz containment.
Frequency dip to 49.42 Hz avoided, but fragility persists
8The extreme under-frequency event recorded on 21-April did not recur in May. But with major corridors still under repair, system inertia and response time margins remain dangerously thin.
Pavagada FSC restored after 8.5-month blackout
8Offline since 31-Aug-2024, the Fixed Series Capacitor was revived on 17-May. NLDC notes 3 of 6 FSCs in SR remain out raising fresh demands for corridor-wise redeployment.
SPS logic revised at Hosur, but still no field test
8After a 240 MW load-shed in March, revised Special Protection Scheme logic was shared in April. Yet TANTRANSCO has not implemented the LC or validated the patch leaving the grid exposed.

Eastern India: Some critical issues
Jun 02:
Frequency floor collapses to 49.42 Hz as overdrawl spikes across ER
8Grid frequency dropped to 49.42 Hz in April, well below the IEGC tolerance band. Sustained overdrawl by Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal forced NLDC to escalate directly to Principal Secretaries. No structured action recorded in May minutes.
Farakka islanding remains blocked due to Lalmatia line delays
8Despite repeated OCC flags, Farakka’s islanding continues to hinge on the pending Lalmatia line. NTPC cites single-line dependency and power evacuation risks. No workaround or progress shown in the May meeting.
IBTPS islanding hits stalemate; Odisha SLDC non-responsive
8NPC's concern over lack of progress on IBTPS islanding went unaddressed in May. No reply from Odisha SLDC, no status update — a critical reliability risk in the Eastern corridor.
Bihar UFR SCADA coverage stuck at 130 MW vs 1578 MW required
8Bihar has mapped just 130 MW of UFR under SCADA against a requirement of 1578 MW. No movement since April. This breaks compliance with IEGC 2023 and compromises automatic frequency protection.
HP-DAM segment logs zero buy bids for second consecutive month
8HP-DAM saw no cleared volumes despite high sell-side availability in April and May. Persistent non-participation suggests either price-setting inefficiencies or structural design issues in the high-price window.
Emergency Restoration Systems (ERS) audit still not launched
8OCC flagged the need for a unified ERS audit in April. Yet by May, no pan-ERPC stock audit is initiated. Only Powergrid and OPTCL show full inventory; others lag without scrutiny.
Mock islanding drills unreported in multiple states
8Bihar, Sikkim, and parts of Jharkhand haven’t submitted islanding mock drill reports in either meeting. With monsoon vulnerabilities approaching, untested plans remain a blind spot.
DPL and Kolaghat plants continue operating with sub-60% coal stocks
8While Jharkhand improved to over 190% stock in May, WBPDCL stations like DPL and Kolaghat remain critically understocked at 51–55%, well below the safety buffer.

NERPC: 225th and 226th OCC Minutes reveal repeated delays in Northeast gas and hydro revival
May 30:
Baramura Unit-4 stuck in limbo as fuel and rotor issues collide
8Despite prior commitments, Tripura’s Baramura Unit-4 remains offline in the 226th OCC due to an unresolved rotor problem compounded by TNGL’s continued inability to restore gas supply. The promised early-May revival has now slipped further, forcing deeper reliance on alternate capacity.
Rokhia Units 7 & 8 return but red flags remain on technical depth
8While Rokhia Unit-7 was revived by May 5 and Unit-8 by May 10, the outages driven by chamber leakage and bearing issues required sustained OEM intervention. The recovery may be complete, but the frequency of shutdowns raises fresh questions on Tripura’s preventive maintenance regime.
Kameng HEP recovery delayed again as rotor repair stumbles
8Kameng HEP’s Unit-2, earlier targeted for May 2025 revival, has now slipped to June following failure in aligning the stator and rotor due to a V-block issue. With no additional capacity stepping in, the delay continues to affect peak management and frequency control in Arunachal Pradesh.
Khandong hydro revival timeline unmoved Unit-II remains silent
8The 226th OCC shows no acceleration in Khandong’s recovery. Unit-I is still pegged for May, and Unit-II lacks any update since the 225th OCC. Nearly two years after flood damage, the delay signals deeper structural and contractual issues with repair execution.
LTPS Unit-7 revives, providing Assam short-term grid relief
8After being offline for over a year due to severe vibration, LTPS Unit-7 was finally revived on May 4. The unit’s return brings temporary relief to Assam’s gas-based supply cushion but its past unreliability underscores fragile asset health.
NER’s hydro assets fail to contain price spikes amid DAM-RTM split
8Hydro assets like Kameng and Khandong remain critical for grid stability, yet continued outages have left DAM prices exposed. Even with excess availability in RTM, lack of hydro balancing pushed DAM prices past ?5000/MWh in recent blocks, revealing structural dispatch imbalance.
Frequency response metrics show no progress; Kameng and Doyang flagged
8Both OCC meetings highlighted poor FRP scores from Kameng and Doyang units. With frequency excursions increasing, NERPC has demanded concrete action plans, but no turnaround measures were confirmed in either session raising system reliability concerns.
OEM sluggishness and fuel insecurity now systemic across Northeast assets
8Across both meetings, the dominant theme is clear: gas-based plants are throttled by fuel non-availability while hydro recovery remains hostage to OEM delays. This double-bind is steadily eroding the Northeast’s base load confidence heading into the monsoon season.
