Scrap Rajghat power plant, utilities tell government
Source: Indian Express, Date: , 2015
Addressing serious concerns over high pollution levels, ageing
and costly power generation, multiple power utilities in the capital and the
State Load Dispatch Centre have recommended that the Delhi government
permanently shut down the Rajghat power plant. The centre, which has the
discoms and transmission firms among members, has recommended the total closure
of the 26-year-old power station, citing “environmental issue” and the plant’s
failure to deliver the required capacity of the power leading to higher power
cost.
