Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy instructed the officials of the Energy Department to properly assess the demand and accordingly plan ways to meet it so that the prevailing crisis could be put to an end at the earliest.
He suggested that while trying to fulfil the requirement of industries, an action plan should be chalked out to prevent power shortage next summer as the sector would otherwise be crippled.
Necessary steps should be taken to ensure a continuous supply of coal to the thermal plants, and focus should be laid on commissioning the 800 MW units at Dr Narla Tatarao Thermal Power Station (NTTPS) and Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS) at the earliest, he said.
