PSPCL to impose power cuts of upto 3 hrs for next 3 days as coal crisis worsens 

                Punjab State Power Corporation Limited on Monday appealed to the government/public sector offices in Punjab to use power judiciously and switch off ACs . In a release it said that due to lack of coal in the state and due to power shortage owing to failure of one unit of the Talwandi Sabo thermal power plant in Bathinda district, PSPCL is facing problem in meeting the power demand of more than 14,500 Plus MW. As a result, the corporation is not only buying power at a whopping ₹11.80 per unit, but it also missed an opportunity to sell electricity to the national grid in October.
