Chennai: The global crisis that has triggered a lack of coal in India has not dodged Tamil Nadu.
The power utility of the Tangedco state, five thermal power stations in North Chennai, Tuticorin and Metture have an average of only four days of coal shares remaining with them.
Tangedco relates to the Union of the Ministry of Rights and Indian Coal Limited (CIL) to ensure fuel supply.
Tangedco, NTecl Valur and NTPL Tuticorin have fuel supply agreements with Indian coal limited.
Has fallen inventory from CIL since September last week.
“While coal consumption by all stations on Wednesday is 60,265 tons, we only accept 36,255 tons.
Total stock at the end of the day is 1.92 lakh tons, which can only last for several days,” said a source to Ti.
“We hope to manage the crisis because we hope a better supply in the coming days, he said.
Stock in Tuticorin can last 2.6 days, in Mettur for 3.4 days and in North Chennai for 2.2 days.
With a daily supply still happens, even though it is cut off, plants can run for about four days.
Dynamic management keeps the system running as a renewable energy source that is useful for the country.
Shooting water power plants up to 12 million units on Wednesday.
While the total capacity of the Tangedco thermal unit is 4,320MW , coal requirements are 62,000 tons a day.
At 100% (the practical possible) plant load factors, the discom will require 72,000 tons of coal per day.
Blame the Chinese power crisis and desperate efforts to knock all coal markets, coal imports have dropped dramatically in India .
Coal prices have surged on the international market and companies that have signed a sales contract Long and medium-term power cannot fulfill commitment.
They get half of the necessary supplies and have reduced generations.
Tangedco now bought around 20 million units of power per day from power exchanges with rates starting from Rs 10 to Rs 15 per unit.
The average daily power consumption of Tamil Nadu is 290 million units.
Because power consumption can fall over the next three months because the level of mercury levels, the manager of the power is sure to draw until the middle of January.
Ntecl Valur, a joint venture of NTPC Limited and Tangedco, personal electricity producers such as IL & FS Tamil Nadu Nadu Power Company Limited in Cuddalore, Pearl Coastal Energen Factory in Tuticorin, Balco, DB Power Limited, KSK Mahani Power Company Limited and Jindal Power Limited all exposed to coal deficiency.
“Coal India Limited continues to monitor it.
The situation is precarious, especially this month.
Tangedco urged the central body to supply 64,000 tons a day but there were an average drawback of 20,000 tons a day,” another official said.
Metorm TPS requires 7.17 million tons of coal every year, while the North Chennai polling station requires 10 million tons and Tuticorin 3.8 million tons.
TN: Tangedco has enough coal for only 4 more days
