Central and state power regulators will meet here later this week to chalk out a plan of action on various measures outlined in the national tariff policy such as tapping of renewable energy sources. | |
| "The forum of regulators will meet on April 20-21. The main item on the agenda is the tariff policy," said Central Electricity Regulatory Commission Chairman A K Basu. Basu, who heads the forum, said the meeting is also likely to discuss ways to promote connection of captive power to grid as well as price and regulation of traded power. |

| As per the policy announced in January, CERC was to lay down guidelines by April 2006 for pricing of non-firm power, especially from non-conventional sources. State electricity regulatory commissions were mandated to fix a minimum percentage of power for purchase from renewable and cogeneration sources and their tariffs. |
| |
| Besides, the CERC was to develop a national transmission tariff framework by April this year. |
