Astonishing! One breakdown and many load-shedding schedules. We had seen in Daily Telegrams about a similar breakdown in min-November 2016, but later there were no load shedding. Now, again same schedule is repeated w.e.f. 25.01.17 with old reason. We ponder whether is it that due to overcast almost everyday, that 5 MW NTPC Solar Plant is not able to supply the designed capacity “OR” there are additional shortages of power generation from hired power plants at Phoenix bay “OR” govt. plant at Chatham. Anyways, stakeholders are end sufferers.
