KPCL Increases Thermal Power Generation to Offset Hydropower Decline in Karnataka
Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) has increased thermal power generation to an average of 84.34 million units daily in July to compensate for reduced hydropower due to deficient rainfall. The corporation aims to raise output to 100 million units soon, maintaining thermal plants optimally. Energy Minister K.J. George has reviewed operations and directed measures to align generation with demand. Thermal power output at Raichur, Ballari, and Yermarus plants has notably increased compared to last year, supported by higher coal supplies during the monsoon.
