MahaGenco generates record 10,445 MW on Tuesday
The state government-run Maharashtra State Power Generation Co Ltd (MahaGenco) achieved the highest-ever record power generation in its history by generating 10,445 MW during the evening peak hours on Tuesday.
Proper coal and fuel management are said to be a key factor behind the record generation, state Energy Minister Dr Nitin Raut said on Wednesday.
Raut said he focused on the maximisation of generation by using coal in a judicious manner and periodic review of the situation.
He asked the officials for optimum utilisation of the plant load factor (PLF) to the capacity of at least 95 per cent while the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has set the benchmark of PLF to 85 per cent.
