Mr. GS Kangar, Power Minister Punjab, informed that the State Government has approved a Super Critical Thermal Plant for Ropar which will have 5 units of 800 MW generation capacity each. Besides, a 60 MW Biomass Plant and a 100 MW Solar Plant are also coming up soon. So, “the closure of existing units by no means amount to the dominance of private sector; it is just a switchover from the existing technology to the cheaper, greener, state -of -art technology,” said by the minister.
