Tamil Nadu Power Generation Corporation Limited (TNPGCL) expects the central generating stations (CG) to provide an energy supply without problems this summer.
Tamil Nadu has the greatest demand for energy in the southern region. It is likely that the maximum state demand of the state has 22,000 MW this summer, exceeding the record of the previous year of 20,830 MW.
Tamil Nadu has a participation of more than 6,000 MW of CGS, including the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant (KKNPP), NLC and NTPC.
It has a power assignment participation of 1,150 MW of the total capacity of 2,000 MW of KKNPP I and II units, and a 2,195 MW participation of the NLC capacity of more than 4,000 MW. The remaining participation comes from NTPC and Madras Atomic Power Station.
In the previous years, the State Energy Services Company had marked issues of fuel replenishment activities carried out in KKNPP Unit-I during the summer.
“However, this time we will not foresee problems with the generation in the KKNPP units. We also expect a supply without problems from the NLC units, ”said a seniorTNPGCL official.
The thermal power capacity of TNPGCL is 4,320 MW. Together with the participation of the State of CGS and other contracts, the total conventional capacity of Tamil Nadu is 15,839.56 MW.
TNPGCL is also making arrangements for short -term power through tenders, exchange arrangements and long -term contracts, to overcome the expected energy deficit during the summer.
The exchange energy disposition refers to energy transactions to energy between two public services without monetary considerations.
Tamil Nadu satisfies its energy demand for conventional thermal and gas plants, and unconventional hydroelectric, wind and solar plants, together with their participation in the energy of the CG and the long -median energy purchase agreements and short term. The energy bought through exchanges helps to meet the remaining day -to -day scarcity.
