The Managing Director (MD) of UJVNL Sandeep Singhal held a meeting with the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of BHEL, Nalin Singhal in order to expedite the Renovation, Modernization and Upgradation (RMU) works of Chilla power house of the corporation in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Singhal said that the machines of Chilla powerhouse have completed their useful life and their capacity of generating power has begun to decline. Therefore in order to enhance the capacity of the machines and to maintain the generation it became necessary to carry out the RMU works. He added that after the RMU works the installed capacity of the Chilla powerhouse will be enhanced from 144 megawatt to 156 megawatt and the annual generation will increase by 250 million units. Singhal said that the President of India during her recent visit to Uttarakhand had laid the foundation stone of the RMU works.
He said that detailed discussion was held on various technical aspects along with the plan to mitigate these issues during the meeting. It was agreed that the RMU works of machine number one of the plant will get started soon so that the work can be completed on time.
