Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited (RUVITL) filed a petition seeking approval for procurement of 3200 (4 * 800) MW power from Thermal Power Stations for 25 years to be set up on Design, Build, Finance, Own & Operate basis through competitive bidding. Given the impact of adding 3200 MW of Round the Clock (RTC) thermal power locked in for 25 years, on the state's power sector and the electricity consumer, Prayas (Energy Group) made a submission on the following: 

• Weaknesses and inconsistencies in consideration of Peak demand and Energy requirement in CEA's Resource Adequacy Plan for Rajasthan
• Lack of consideration of net demand for assessment of requirement from coal-based generation
• Insufficient consideration of generation from RE and the declining trends in prices for options such as FDRE and RE+storage
• Unrealistic timelines for commissioning of thermal power stations
• Scrutiny of deviations in the tender documents towards ensuring accountability from the project proponent
