2.3.1 Capacity Addition through IPPs
In order to attract capital investment in generation sector, around 22 Memoranda of
Understandings (MOUs) were signed with the independent power producers (IPPs).
However, the capacity addition could not materialise on account of perceived poor
paying capacity of the SEB.
2.4 RENOVATION AND MODERNISATION OF THE EXISTING PLANTS
More than 60 per cent of the generating stations in the State have served for a period
of 25 years or more. The generating stations need frequent overhaul and are in urgent
need of Renovation and Modernisation (R&M). MPPGCL has not been adequately
spending on repairs and maintenance. The position is as under:

MPERC in its tariff order dated 10 December 2004 allowed Rs 140.31 crore under
R&M of generating stations, but the GENCO once again failed to utilise the approved
amount. Vide its tariff order dated 25 January 2006, MPERC approved Rs 131.91
crore under this head. It is desirable that the GENCO should spend adequate amount
