The Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant ( ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਥਰਮਲ ਪਲਾਂਟ ) at Bathinda[2] was one of the three 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 mammoth irrigation needs of lower Punjab.[4] Having generated electricity for 100 years to meet the power demand of punjab, the thermal shut down forever on September 27,2017.
