Thermal stations brace to produce more power as output dips in hydel units
- The demand for electricity is set to rise drastically in the coming summer months of March, April and beyond. The demand is already 300 million units (MU) a day.
- Electricity generation has been stopped at the 210-megawatt unit II of RTPS due to a technical defect.
- RTPS and the Yarmarus thermal power station (YTPS) will be increased to plug the shortfall from hydel stations as well as solar and wind energy.
- Currently, 1,060 MW of power daily is being produced from the two units of YTPS.
