VISAKHAPATNAM: The plant load factor (PLF) at NTPC Simhadri has gone up to 65% from the last fiscal’s 48% due to considerable increase in the demand for electricity. NTPC Simhadri CGM Diwakar Kaushik said the PLF, which is the ratio between the actual energy generated by a plant to the maximum possible energy that can be generated for a duration of an entire year, at the plant will reach 70% next year.
