State run power producer NTPC today said it has inked an agreement with Assam Power Distribution Company for selling 75 MW of electricity to the state.
"NTPC Ltd signed supplementary power purchase agreement with Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd (APDCL) for supply of 75 MW power," the New Delhi-based power major said in a statement.
The power will be supplied to Assam from NTPC's Farakka Super Thermal Power Station Stage-III, it added.
The release, however, did not mention the financial implication of this sale.
At present, APDCL is allocated 190 MW power from unallocated capacity of NTPC stations Farakka Stage-I, II and III, Kahalgaon Stage-I and II and Talcher Stage-I.
APDCL will also be provided with 381 MW from the under- construction Bongaigaon Thermal Power Project of NTPC.
The agreement was signed by NTPC Additional General Manager (Commercial) S K Kar and APDCL Chief General Manager (Commercial) A Baishya, the release said.
