Power cut at many places in Andhra Pradesh

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Several places in Andhra Pradesh, including some outlying areas of Hyderabad, had to go without power supply for nearly four hours on Wednesday as the APTransco lost an installed capacity of about 1,200 MW due to breakdown of nearly half-a-dozen power plants.

In rural areas, however, the duration of power cut has gone up to eight hours. The major loss to the grid originated from Neyveli in Tamil Nadu where all the units were shut down following lignite shortage. As a result, Andhra Pradesh lost its entire share of 346 MW from this source. Similarly, another 220 MW was lost as 500 MW Central generation station at Talcher in Orissa tripped.
