According to sources, the total installed capacity of all thermal plants in the state is 4,320 MW. Power generation at one of the five units of the Mettur Thermal Power Plant remains suspended after a coal bunker collapsed in December last year, halting 210 MW production. Despite ongoing repair work, resuming operations is proving to be a major challenge.
