Water level up in Idukki reservoir
The Hindu
One of the generators was not operated on Wednesday
The water level in the Idukki reservoir rose on Wednesday following the trial stopping of one of the six generators at the Moolamattom power house. The water level reached 2,400.44 ft at 5 p.m.
An official of the Dam Monitoring and Research Station said it was unusual for the power plant to operate all the generators for maximum power generation during the rainy season. The dam was mainly reserved for power generation during the summer season, when demand escalated.
He said, however, due to the persistent spell of rainfall, all generators were being operated for maximum power generation. It was during the rainy season, the annual maintenance works of generators were done. “One of the generators was not operated on Wednesday and it would be back to normal in two days,” he said.
