Summary:
Thanks to this fall, many Tangedco thermal units have been put in standby mode. The demand is expected to increase from Monday, said officials.“Since last Monday, power demand has been low because of the holidays. CHENNAI: Prolonged holidays and a nip in the air brought down power demand in Tamil Nadu to below 8,000MW on Thursday. We have not shut thermal units. They have only been put on standby mode such that they can be stepped up whenever demand increases,” said a senior Tangedco official.Two units, each with a capacity of 210MW, have been shut at Mettur Thermal Power Plant (MTPP)..
