Quarterly Review Report | Renovation & Modernisation of Thermal Power Stations | Quarter: April - June, 2019
Overview: Renovation & Modernization (R&M) has been recognized as one of the cost effective options for obtaining the additional generation and better outputs from the existing old thermal power units. The R&M of such units is very essential for performance improvement of the units as well as to comply the stricter environmental norms for improving environmental conditions. On the other hand, the Life Extension (LE) of the old thermal power units is carried out with an aim to extend their useful life 15 to 20 years beyond the original design economical life.
The Thermal Projects Renovation & Modernization (TPR&M) Division is entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring the progress of R&M/LE activities in thermal power generating units in the country under Section 73(f) of the Electricity Act, 2003. Based on the interaction and information received from various utilities, the Quarterly Review Report (QRR) is prepared highlighting the latest status of the physical progress of R&M/LE works at various thermal units.
