Haryana Government on Wednesday claimed that despite discontinuation of supply of contracted 1,424 MW power to Haryana by Adani Power ltd and a part of the contracted 400 MW power by Coastal Gujarat Power ltd (CGPl), there is no shortage of power in the State owing to better generation at State’s own plants and other arrangements.
CGPl is supplying 220 MW power to the State daily against the contracted 400 MW.
A spokesman for Haryana Power Utilities said that the State had made adequate arrangements ie upto 10,625 MW of power supply during June to September this year to meet the requirement of electricity consumers. These include power generation by State’s own power plants, shares in Central/other generating projects, banking arrangements, power purchase agreements and long term arrangements. The State still has a scope to have additional power from Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Station, Jhajjar and Gas — based Plant, Faridabad.
He stated that the peak demand of electricity is about 7,500 MW and the Discoms are supplying power as per schedule and even more than the schedule as per requirement.
Referring to the availability of coal in the State thermal plants, the spokesman said that sufficient coal stock is available to run the plants for ten days. Simultaneously, the plants are getting coal regularly from Coal India ltd and other sources, he added.
