Each RTPS unit has an installed capacity of 210 MW, totalling to 1,260 MW from six units. In the absence of wet coal supplied from Singareni collieries, sub-standard quality coal is being utilised leading to technical problems.
Thereby, only 1,000 MW of power is being produced. At present, the RTPS has a stock of 1.4 lakh MT of coal.
Two rakes of coal are being supplied from Talacher and West Coal Mine (each rake contains 3,500 tonne of coal) to the RTPS, once in two days.
If the supply of wet coal from Singareni resumes, optimum power supply can be achieved, according to sources.
