Hyderabad; July 1 ( PMI ): Telangana will not stop generating power from the Srisailam power plant. “We are generating hydel power only to meet our exigencies,” a senior official told Telangana Today on condition of anonymity. “There is no question of stopping power generation in Srisailam,” he said explaining the reasons for exigency.
The pumps of various lift irrigation projects including Kaleshwaram, Devadula and others in erstwhile Mahabubnagar were running full-steam. “When pumps of all the projects are being operated, we are in exigency of hydel power which is much more economical than thermal power. If we don’t generate hydel power now, we cannot do it later. We have to generate hydel power only during the monsoon season,” he said.
Stating that scope for generation of hydel power existed only during monsoon, the government took the decision to go in for 100 per cent hydel power generation in all the projects on Godavari and Krishna to meet the exigency, he said. ( PMI )
