Besides, all power generation companies, including independent power producers (IPPs) and central generating stations, have been advised to generate and maintain full availability on a daily basis, excluding the period of planned maintenance or forced outage. Planned maintenance of generating units is being minimised during the high-demand period. Steady supply o .....
