NEW DELHI: Power regulator CERC on Thursday proposed norms for utilisation of transmission assets by utilities for other businesses, including mobile services, besides imposing an annual charge of Rs 3,000 per km.
CERC has mooted a revenue-sharing mechanism for use of transmission assets by Power Grid Corp of India and other inter-state transmission licensees for telecom business such as laying of optical fibre communication cables over towers.
CERC has proposed that transmission owners would share revenues at the rate of Rs 3,000 per year per km for laying one optical fibre cable over the transmission towers, it said in a statement. Revenues will be adjusted toward the transmission service charges payable to the transmission owner.
