JEYPORE: For the first time in a decade, Odisha Hydro Project Corporation (OHPC) has cut down on daily power generation from Upper Kolab project after farmers of the region cited low requirement of irrigation water in ayacut areas of Kotpad.
The OHPC generated up to 100 MW (megawatt) daily last month and released 40-50 cumec (cubic meters per second) water in main canal for irrigation. But with reduced water requirements, the power corporation is now generating 50-75 MW power since last week.
