Ranchi: On Wednesday, the power crisis in Jharkhand unexpectedly became worse. The cause of this is decreased output from power plants. Because of how bad things are, load shedding is being used to make supply in vital towns like the capital Ranchi.
The most of the issues arise at night, when traffic is at its worst. Electricity supply does not match demand. Officials with the Electricity Distribution Corporation said that the Harlipalli facility of NTPC has stopped producing any electricity.
The state used to receive 130 MW of power from here. The largest power producing facility in the state, Tenughat Vidyut Nigam, had tube leakage in its second unit on Wednesday. As a result, this facility's output has also been halted.
Electricity is only accessible at 700 MW
Due to maintenance, the first unit is already closed. As a result, there are 160 MW less power sources available. The central pool supplied the state with 1000 MW of power in the past. Compared to that, just 700
In a dire circumstance, Sikidari Hydel is being used for production. Rukka Dam does not, however, have enough water storage to keep the plant running continuously.
Except for seven districts within the DVC command area, the state has a requirement for 1300 to 1500 MW of power. Comparatively, there are only 900 to 1000 MW available. Due to this, load shedding is used to provide 400–600 MW of power.
policemen working to restore normalcy in the situation
An attempt is being made to launch a TVNL unit on September 1. The second unit's production is anticipated to begin on September 3. After then, there will be enough electricity.
The Electricity Distribution Corporation has requested 1,000 MW of electricity from the power exchange, citing a lack of electricity. Despite paying for it, just 55 MW of extra electricity were provided to the state, alleging a national power deficit.
