Bhakra Beas Management Board has generated 11,482.051 million units of energy up to March 3, 2021, from its all power houses against the target of 9,600 million units fixed by the Central Electricity Authority, Government of India.
Till date, BBMB power houses have generated 19.60 percent more energy than the target.”This has been possible due to judicious operation of reservoirs as well as efficient operation and maintenance of the generating units of its six power plants,” said BBMB chairman Sanjay Srivastava.
BBMB chairman said that the plant load availability of generating machines in BBMB power houses has been 97.04 percent which is one of the highest in the country. The transmission availability has been registered as 99.82 percent which is much more than normative availability of 98.5 percent for hydro generating stations. Srivastava lauded all the employees of BBMB for maintaining high brilliance even during the grave situation of COVID-19 pandemic. He congratulated the BBMB team for their untiring efforts for surpassing the CEA target by generating 19.60 percent more energy.
