Panki Power House

Heavy rains in Kanpur caused severe waterlogging inside the 400 kV grid area of the Panki Power Plant, collapsing local drainage systems. Meanwhile, surrounding areas like Ratanpur village also face acute water accumulation from runoff. Earlier, the new 660MW unit completed successful commercial trial runs. [1, 2, 3] Recent Updates & Status • Drainage Failure: Recent heavy downpours flooded feet of water into the 400 kV substation grid zone due to a collapsed internal drainage network. [1] • Ratanpur Waterlogging: Discharge from plant areas and officer colonies has flooded neighboring Ratanpur village, raising health concerns over stagnant water. [1] • 660MW Unit Milestone: The upgraded 660MW supercritical thermal unit (built by BHEL for Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam) previously crossed commercial benchmarks by running continuously for 87 hours during trials. [1, 2] • Grid Capacity: The local transmission capacity around Panki was upgraded to 815 MVA to support smoother power distribution across neighboring districts
