Chairman and managing director of TS-Genco and TS-Transco D. Prabhakar Rao said that Telangana State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) is among the top three SLDCs in the country in scrupulous implementation of Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC).
Speaking after hoisting the national flag as part of the 77th Independence Day celebrations held at Vidyut Soudha here on Tuesday, he said that the Telangana SLDC, with advanced technologies, was in the forefront in maintaining the grid discipline and had been adjudged among the top three SLDCs in the country in implementing the IEGC.
He said the State power utilities were fully geared-up to meet the power load up to 17,000 megawatt (MW) in the coming days as they had already handled a peak load of 15,497 MW on March 30 this year against the peak load of 13,162 MW handled in the combined Andhra Pradesh in March 2014. The peak load for Telangana was just 5,661 MW then.
