HYDERABAD: The Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (APTransco) has taken up the restoration of seven double circuit towers of 220 KV Kothagudem Thermal Power Station (KTPS). Heavy gales had felled these towers early this month, causing loss of generation in the range of 600 MW to 1,600 MW. The restoration works on the towers were expected to be completed in four days, a Transco press release said here on Monday.

Another tower of KTPS-Miryalaguda, also collapsed on May 9, had been rectified.

It said the demand for power shot up in the State due to increased demand from the agricultural sector. Soaring mercury levels also called for more power. "On May 20, Transco supplied 143.5 million units as against 119.7 MU in the previous year, a growth of 20 per cent," the release said.

To tide over the shortage, Transco tied up with Power Trading Corporation (PTC) for supply of 200 MW from other States.
