Power generation stopped at Nagarjunasagar as inflows recede
The Hindu
A total 140 million units of power generated till Friday night since June 29
With receding inflows from the upstream Srisailam Project, the TSGenco halted power generation at the Nagarjunasagar hydroelectric power plant on Saturday. According to officials, a total 140 million units of power was generated till Friday night since June 29, when the production first began. “About 16 million units were generated each day at the rate of 2.6 tmc water utilisation. As at closing of the production, 140 million units of power was generated,” Superintending Engineer (O&M) Raghu Ram told The Hindu. The Nagarjunasagar Project, a bone of contention between the Telugu States for respective Krishna water shares, had once again turned a ‘high tension zone’ on June 29 after TSGenco started early production of power. The last time the States faced off was in 2015, when police officials attacked each other in the Nagarjunasagar border town.More Related News
