: Generation of 840 Mega Watts at Dr. Narla Tatarao Thermal Power Station (NTTPS) came to a halt in the early hours of Thursday due to tripping of feeders connected to units 3 to 6. However, engineers restored power generation by evening.
According to sources, the four units with 210-MW capacity each went out of order around 1 a.m. after lightning struck the feeders and generation had to be suspended. The other units functioned normally.
Due to the suspension of generation, many areas in the region, including Vijayawada city, experienced several interruptions in power supply in the early morning. However, the supply was stabilised after a few hours.
