The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is closely monitoring the coal situation in thermal plants outside the State in the wake of warnings regarding an impending crisis.
As of Wednesday, none of the thermal plants which supply power to the KSEB have reported a shortage of coal, but the situation calls for close watching. Power imports to the State progressed at a normal pace on Wednesday, KSEB Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) B. Ashok said.
“As such, none of our captive or contracted plants have reported a shortage of coal. But we have to watch the situation,’‘ Mr. Ashok said, responding to reports that several States were facing power shortages with low levels of coal inventories affecting generation in coal-based thermal plants.
