Power crisis deepens as Ropar plant unit also shuts down | Chandigarh News

Patiala: Power crisis in Punjab has further deepened with one unit of the state-run thermal plant at Ropar also shutting down on Wednesday night whereas already two units of a private thermal plant, TSPL, are shut following technical problems and the remaining third unit is running on half capacity following technical snag. The closing down of one unit in Ropar and reduction to half load of the remaining one unit of TSPL has added into the state power shortage of around 500 MW (120 lakh units in a day) generation from within Punjab. One unit of Lehra Mohabbat plant also got tripped on Thursday at around 1.30pm due to technical fault, but got operational again after four and half hours.

Power experts back Sidhu, say faulty pacts led to crisis : The Tribune India

Aman Sood Patiala, July 3 Even as Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu has blamed “faulty” power purchase agreements for the current situation in the state, experts, while backing the leader, accused the PSPCL of failing to assess peak power demand. They said the state s transmission grid capacity was enhanced temporarily to 7,400 MW. A former chief engineer said just ahead of the paddy season, the PSPCL had claimed to have arranged ample power. “Now, it is blaming the high demand on delayed monsoon. It admitted that Punjab is seeing over 15,000 MW demand. Responsibility must be fixed for large variation in assessing demand,” he said.
