Installing power plant machinery at Pallivasal Extension Scheme
Fed up with delays, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is looking at other options to get past the ‘Chinese hurdle’ and install the power plant machinery for the 60 MW Pallivasal Extension Scheme in Idukki district. The KSEB has now invited bids from firms experienced in installing the electromechanical and hydromechanical equipment which were originally supplied by M/s Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC), Chengdu, China. If things pan out, the much-delayed scheme should be ready for commissioning in one to one-and-a-half year’s time, a KSEB official said.More Related News
