They shall take over operation and maintenance (O&M) of newly-built 660 MW Power plant of Engro Powergen Thar limited (EPTL) at Thar Coal Block II.
With an aim to create a highly skilled human resource from Thar and other districts of Sindh, a group 73 engineers have returned after completing their six-months training from China. They shall take over operation and maintenance (O&M) of newly-built 660 MW Power plant of Engro Powergen Thar limited (EPTL) at Thar Coal Block II. A total of 73 engineers including three female engineers sent to China under Thar Project, were trained at Yunnan Xunjiansi and Xinyi Power plant in China through a series of classroom and simulators training modules. Of these 73 engineers, 47 percent are from Tharparkar and Umerkot districts while the rest belong to other districts of Sindh.
Upon successful completion of their training, these young engineers have become part of the engineering team to operate and maintain Thar coal power plant of Engro Powergen Thar Limited (EPTL). The EPTL’s 2x330MWs power plant at Thar Block II is all set to supply electricity to the national grid in February 2019. Construction work of the plant is 96 percent completed. During the course, the trainees acquired training on simulators especially on Boilers while working on site at the Yunnan Xunjiansi Power plant which operates on the coal like Thar coal. During their training, they were trained on three levels i.e. Theoretical Training which was spread over 12 weeks covering various modules on Boiler, Turbine, Electrical, Coal Handling, Chemical & Ash Handling. – PR
