Low demand keeps 26 power units shut in Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: The decline in power demand resulting from reduced electricity consumption by industrial and commercial establishments has led to temporary shutting down of 26 power generating units in Gujarat, including both state-run and private company operated entities. A single power station has multiple units with different power generation capacity.
“At present, the cumulative power generation capacity under Reserve Shutdown (RSD) is estimated to be around 5,500MW,” said sources in the government. Power units are kept under RSD if there is no demand for electricity.
