CUDDALORE:
The 49-year-old Thermal Power Station
I at Neyveli, which was nearing its extended life, will not be
decomissioned for another five years following requests from the Tamil
Nadu government and Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB), Neyveli Lignite Corporation has said. AR Ansari, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, NLC, said it had been
decided earlier to taper down the power generation at the 600 mw power
station in phases between 2011 and 2014. The power station was built in
1962 with Soviet assistance and is one of the oldest power plants in the
country.
