The Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant at Bathinda[2] was one of the three coal-fired thermal power stations in Punjab (the other being at Lehra Mohabat and Ropar[3]). It was a medium-sized power station with four units that were begun to be built in 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.[4] Having generated electricity to meet the power demand of Punjab, the thermal plant shut down indefinitely on September 27, 2017.
