Efforts on to revive NTECL Vallur Thermal Power Station unit-2 by June end

NTECL Vallur Thermal Power Station unit-2, which is under annual maintenance since January 4 this year, will be revived by June 30.

It is a joint venture between National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited and Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Company (Tangedco) and has a capacity of 1,500 MW (3 units of 500 MW each), of which Tangedco has a share of 1,064 MW from the central power generating station.

The unit-2 tripped on January 3 and an earth fault in Stator (one of the components in the power plant) was observed subsequently. The unit has been under annual maintenance since January 4 and is yet to be revived. NTECL has sought to extend the maintenance schedule till June 30, as per agenda for a meeting of the Southern Regional Power Committee (SRPC).
