NTPCs Barh power project to start trial run this month

 

PATNA: The NTPC is set to start power generation from unit-1 of stage 2 of its super thermal power plant at Barh in Patna district within a couple of days. However, commercial generation from this 660MW unit is expected by December end.

 

 

 

"We have to fulfil certain parameters before launching commercial production as per the Central Electricity Act (CEA) guidelines," said a senior NTPC official.
