The company has been selling the power generated to Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and various private corporate clients in Karnataka such as Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Private Limited, Karnataka Distilleries Limited, United Breweries Limited, H&R Johnson India Limited, Delphi Automotive Systems Private Limited and Spicer India Limited. The electricity charges recovered for the corporate clients in Karnataka are more than the revenue generated from the sale to SEBs. Since the wheeling charges under the new policy are very exorbitant, the company has decided to sell the power generated from the proposed 9 MW project to BESCOM (KPTCL) where the realization per unit is higher as compared to sale to private corporate clients under the current guidelines.
