Power plants to run at full capacity as electricity demand rises: Singh

Union Minister R K Singh on Monday asked his counterparts in states to run all power plants at full capacity to meet the peak demand against the backdrop of rising electricity consumption and coal shortage.

The minister made the remarks at the inauguration of two-day National Conference of Power and New & Renewable Energy Ministers of States & UTs in the national capital.

“To meet the growing demand, all states need to run all power plants and at full capacity,” Singh said.
