ANGUL: Power generation from the Rengali Hydroelectric Project in the district has stopped since Saturday due to a major technical snag. The fault was detected in unit 4 of the power plant but all five units were shut due to safety reasons.
As per official sources, the power plant was in operation on June 26 when suddenly the vacuum breaker valve of unit 4 went kaput. As a result, the river water started gushing into the turbine prompting authorities to shut down the entire plant. Unit 4 of the plant had reportedly undergone maintenance recently.
