State-owned NTPC on Friday said its Singrauli unit has recorded the highest plant load factor (PLF) of 100.24 per cent among all thermal units in the country during April-December 2020. The company’s unit in Singrauli, Uttar Pradesh, is its oldest unit in the country commissioned 38 years ago, NTPC said in a statement.
“NTPC’s first unit at Singrauli has achieved the highest PLF of 100.24 per cent among all thermal units in the country between April 2020 and December 2020, data published by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) showed,” it said.
