The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has announced an extension of the deadline for submitting comments on the Draft National Electricity Plan (Volume-II: Transmission) until April 15, 2024. Originally, stakeholders were given until March 26, 2024, to provide inputs and suggestions on the plan, which has been published on the CEA website. However, in response to numerous requests from stakeholders, the CEA has decided to extend the deadline to allow for more comprehensive feedback.
The Draft National Electricity Plan (Volume-II: Transmission) outlines crucial aspects of the country’s transmission infrastructure and future plans. Stakeholders, including industry experts, policymakers, and the general public, are encouraged to contribute their insights to help refine and improve the plan. The extension of the deadline reflects the CEA’s commitment to ensuring that all stakeholders have ample time to review the plan and provide valuable feedback.

The CEA emphasizes the importance of providing feedback in a timely manner to facilitate the planning and development of the nation’s transmission network effectively.
The Draft National Electricity Plan (Volume-II: Transmission) holds significant implications for the future of India’s electricity infrastructure, and stakeholder input is vital to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with national goals. By extending the deadline for comments, the CEA aims to foster a collaborative approach to planning and decision-making in the energy sector, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and sustainable electricity grid for the nation.
