The association has also been demanding a meeting with Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to resolve the pending issues.
“But we are not given time by the CM to discuss our issues till date despite writing several times,” he said. The utility has already been grappling with the problem of gaps between demand and supply of power, primarily because of less power generation in its own power plants due to less coal supply by Panem coal mines, delay in commissioning of new power plants and reduced availability of power under banking arrangements.
PSPCL has now decided to purchase 5047 million units (MU) of short term power through competitive bidding in order to bridge gap between demand and supply during May till September.
