PSPCL’s power generation is fully dependent on the transmission of power on its 400/220 KV transmission system.
Facing a power demand of over 14,500 MW this year, the PSPCL is struggling to maintain its in-house operations & import power from the northern grid due to its mismanagement and financial constraints
Import limit
PSPCL can import maximum power of 7,300 MW from the northern grid. Its in-house operation capacity is 6,840 MW, of which generation of 660 MW at private TSPL plant had stopped in March this year. To meet its power demand, especially during paddy season, PSPCL in April this year had sought enhancement in total transfer capacity/available transfer capacity (TTC/ATC) from NRLDC for importing power through the northern grid.
