Revive 1 lakh MW plants to tackle power problems
India's electricity problems can be solved by reviving the 1 lakh MW thermal power capacity plants that are lying idle, Chairman of the Advisory Group for Integrated Development of Power, Coal and Renewable Energy Suresh Prabhu said. Within 18 months the country can solve energy problems by putting in place thermal capacity of about 1 lakh MW, which is lying incomplete, blending it along with about 2,50,000 mw capacity available today, said Prabhu who was power minister in the previous NDA government.
