Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant

Bathinda District, India

The Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant at Bathinda was one of the three coal-fired thermal power stations in Punjab (the other being at Lehra Mohabat and Ropar). It was a medium-sized power station with four units that were begun to be built in the early 1970s and completed in 1982. All total generate up to 460 MW (2x110+2x120 MW) of power that meets the irrigation needs of lower Punjab. Having generated electricity to meet the power demand of Punjab, the thermal plant shut down indefinitely on September 27, 2017. The plant was named after the first Sikh guru and founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak.
