VIJAYAWADA: The Union Ministry of Power has asked all coal-based power generation units in all states to run at full capacity, noting that electricity prices would increase if generation is not ramped up to the available capacity. The union ministry further noted that despite the earlier directive, some thermal generation units were not operating at full capacity and added that power stations are required to be available and ready to dispatch power “at all times” to meet the demand as per Tariff Policy, 2016.
