No shortage of Power for West Bengal: NTPC
Currently, one unit of 500 MW is under operation.
The situation is likely to continue till Apr 10.
"However there will not be any shortage of power to the West Bengal as a result of these closures," NTPC said in a statement.
"The total allocation to West Bengal from NTPC stations is 786 MW, which can be fully met by NTPC from its stations, if power is requisitioned by the State. In fact, even now Farakka and Kahalgaon Stations are not fully scheduled, leading to partial loading. If required by the State, NTPC can also supply more than its allocation to West Bengal by supplying surplus power from NTPC stations. The State has also surrendered its 199 MW power allocation from NTPC Barh Stage-II (2X660 MW) in the State of Bihar," it said.
In short, enough power is available with NTPC to meet any requirement of the state, NTPC said.
