BBMB power houses surpass CEA target

Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) today said its power houses have surpassed the Central Electricity Authority target by more than 30 per cet during the year 2015-16.
It generated low cost green hydro energy generation of 11,853 million units against the target of 9,076 million units fixed by the CEA, it said in a release.
This feat was facilitated by ensuring all time high machine availability of 97.22 per cent as well as optimal water reservoir operations leading to effective utilisation of inflows, it said.
All BBMB power houses individually have also surpassed power house wise targets set by CEA.

Another hallmark of BBMB performance was generation of 3,339 MUs at its challenging Dehar Power House (DPH) which is the highest generation since year 2000, release said.
