To Provide 1,200 MW Addl Power

Lucknow: The power situation in the state is likely to improve a bit with two private sector power plants -- Rosa and Lanco -- getting operational to their full capacity. The UP Power Corporation Limited officials said that all the units of these two plants with combined stalled capacity of 2,400 MW were not working due to commercial dispute, ostensibly caused by non-payment of dues. With all the units of these two plants switched on now, the power situation would be eased out by 1200 MW.
