PATNA: The state will soon get over 405 MW of additional power to add to its present allocation of 6,560 MW from NTPC plants as the fourth unit of 5 x 660 MW supercritical thermal power project of NTPC Barh was successfully synchronised with the national grid on Sunday, said NTPC spokesperson Vishwanath Chandan.
The state’s average daily allocation from the NTPC will go up to 6,950 MW as against a total of 7,350 MW (approx) from central sectors, including 400 MW hydel power from the NHPC, after the commissioning of the fourth unit of the Barh plant by May this year.
Bihar’s peak load demand had gone up to 6,700 MW during the summers last year.
