Penalise power plants for not keeping coal stock for 30 days: Navjot Sidhu
Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday sought action against private thermal power plants in the state for “punishing consumers” by not maintaining adequate coal stock for electricity generation.
His remarks came a day after state-owned utility Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) was forced to cut down power generation and impose load shedding in the wake of a severe coal shortage.
Punjab must prevent & prepare, rather than repent & repairPrivate Thermal Plants floating guidelines, punishing Domestic Consumers by not keeping Coal Stock for 30 Days should be penalised. It is time to aggressively work on Solar PPAs, & roof-top solar connected to the Grid! tweeted Sidhu.
