Ranchi, Jan. 27: Deputy chief minister Raghubar Das, who holds charge of the energy department, has set up a three-member committee to probe frequent breakdowns at the Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Ltd (TVNL) plant.

The entire state went without power for several hours today after generation from the Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Limited (TVNL) plant stop-ped following a technical problem.

The crisis was compounded by the tripping of Patratu Thermal Power Station

State government on Thursday signed two memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with private companies which might pave way for generation of much needed 2380 mega watt (MW) power.

Barely 24 hours after power supply was back to normal, most parts of the state plunged into darkness again with three units at Patratu Thermal Power Station developing technical snags and power generation plummeting to 270MW against a peak time demand of over 850MW.

BHUBANESWAR: While the State faces acute shortage of power, the aggregated technical and commercial (AT&C) loss is more than 41 per cent as against sustainable level of 15 per cent.
