Marginal improvement in power situation

Due to good rain fall in the last two days power curb is slowly erasing with the power cut at noon is being now suspended. The captive generating power plants are now supplying some satisfactory water to suit the needs of electricity. The distribution companies are slowly removing the load shedding in the state of Odisha. The twin cities are now free from load shedding but at Puri it is still from eight to nine in the morning and then at noon from three to four then at evening from six to seven and then at night from ten to eleven. The captive generating power plant has been generating more than eight hundred MW and the hydro power plants are generating more than six hundred MW of electricity. The Balimella hydro station remained idle for more than three months is now generating one hundred fifty MW of electricity. The situation also likely to be improved further with the advent of good day of rains and also there is prediction that more rains to follow. Other two units are scheduled to be lighted on July thirty but due to advance rain both the units are expected to be alive again. Two units of Burla powerhouses are down due to technical snag.  Second unit is not operative due to heavy leakages of water and the third unit is not operating due to accumulation of trash. There was the cleaning process going on but it is been suspended due to the leakages of rain water and heavy rain in and around the city during these times. Earlier the hydro power project at the upper Kolab has been suspended due to the inadequate water shortages. Water level at the Rengali barrage is also worsened during that time. During those times the one of the private plant has seen the out rage and that worsened the condition further to maxim. From that private plant state is being benefitted with one hundred and twenty MW. From the eastern region due to the closure of three plants the share of the State reduced drastically and for this the power situation has become worse than ever.
