NTPC Kaniha plant crisis deepens

22 Feb 2011 Evaluate

Another 500 Mw unit of 3000 Mw NTPC-Kaniha thermal power plant was shut down due to lack of coal supply on the fifth day of Talcher rail blockade. So far five out of six units of the plant have been put out of operation due to coal crisis.

Only one unit, Unit no 4, linked to southern grid, is kept running with a lot of difficulties as the plant has to keep at least one unit in operation. The 500 MW Unit 4 is generating 400 MW. The power generation of NTPC-Kaniha, which was 3000 Mw daily before the crisis, has come down to 400 Mw today. The coal authorities managed to supply three rakes (10000 tones) of coal from Lingaraj coal mine to Kaniha plant through Merry-go-round system today. However, it was stopped in the afternoon by the rail roko activists.

It may be noted that in the wake of the strike, the Railways had suspended existing trains to the station. As the coalmines were off from the purview of the agitation, all the seven open cast mines operated normally but there was no coal dispatch due to blockade of rail track near the station.
