NTPC Stations are Top Three Best Power Stations in the Country

Three NTPC Stations – 460 MW Talcher Thermal with PLF 93.15 , 2000 MW Singrauli with PLF 92.61, 3000 MW Talcher Kaniha with PLF 90.95 are the Top three Best Performing Power Stations in the country in terms of Plant Load Factor( PLF) during FY16. NTPC recorded highest ever Annual Generation of 241.98 BUs ( excluding JVs ) in the financial year 2015-16. NTPC’s solar stations achieved highest ever generation of 160.8 MUs at a CUF of 16.64 %.
