Solar Energy Corporation Of India ... vs Wind Four Renergy Private Limited

The Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity's decision to condone a delay of 132 days in the commissioning of a wind power project, emphasizing that the delay was due to the inter-state transmission licensee's failure to operationalize the Long Term Access as required under the Power Purchase Agreement. The Court noted that the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy's letter provided for an extension of 60 days post-operationalization of the LTA, which justified the revised commissioning date. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's order, thereby allowing the extension sought by Wind Four Renergy Private Limited.
