Power supply on without interruption, despite rains: Genco CMD

Power utilities geared up for the heavy rains, says Prabhakar Rao

Chairman and Managing Director of TS-Genco and TS-Transco D. Prabhakar Rao has stated that all sections of power consumers are being supplied quality power despite heavy rains lashing the State except a few areas here and there where the distribution network is affected due to flooding and inundation. At a review meeting held on power supply position in the State in the backdrop of heavy rains, the CMD said adequate coals stocks were being maintained at the thermal stations of TS-Genco keeping in mind heavy rains this season. Such preparedness had helped the Genco keep generation process uninterrupted. The Genco was also coming to the rescue of a few States that were struggling with power generation due to delay in coal supplies with heavy rains. He stated that flood water from Garikavagu, a nearby rivulet, had entered Kothagudem Thermal Power Station premises but the authorities there broke open a portion of compound wall so that a foot deep water was drained out without causing any obstruction to the installations there as also power generation.
