TNPGCL Expects Smooth Power Supply From CGS

Tamil Nadu Power Generation Corporation Limited (TNPGCL) is expecting the Central Generating Stations (CGS) to provide a smooth supply of power this summer. Tamil Nadu has the highest power demand in the southern region. The State’s peak power demand is likely to touch 22,000 MW this summer, surpassing the previous year’s record of 20,830 MW. Tamil Nadu has a share of over 6,000 MW from CGS, including Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP), NLC, and NTPC. It has a power allocation share of 1,150 MW out of the total capacity of 2,000 MW of Units I and II of KKNPP, and 2,195 MW share from NLC’s capacity of over 4,000 MW. The remaining share comes from NTPC and Madras Atomic Power Station. In the previous years, the State power utility had flagged issues of refuelling activity undertaken?at KKNPP Unit-I during the summer. TNPGCL is also making arrangements for short-term power through tenders, swap arrangements and long duration contracts, to overcome the expected power deficit during the summer. Swap power arrangement refers to energy-to-energy transactions between two utilities without monetary considerations. Tamil Nadu meets its power demand from the State-owned conventional thermal and gas plants, and non-conventional hydro, wind and solar plants, along with its share of power from CGS and long-, medium- and short-term power purchase agreements. Power purchased through exchanges help meet the remaining day-to-day shortages.
