Two of the five thermal power plants (TPPs) in the state are facing acute shortage of coal.
As per a latest report of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), a statutory body of the ministry of power that oversees the electric system in the country, Goindwal Sahib plant is left with fuel reserves that will last for only four days while that of Talwandi Sabo is left with only two days’ stock. It has been learned that two units of the Goindwal Sahib plant had to be shut for a couple of days earlier this month due to the ongoing shortage of coal.
Any further disruption for any reason in the supply line would make the situation worse for both the plants, said experts.
