Pyongyang, April 12 (KCNA) -- Officials and workers of the Pukchang Thermal Power Complex in the DPRK are striving to create new standard and new record.

The complex renewed the records of operating days per ignition by improving its management method and laid a foundation for producing hundreds of millions kWh more of electricity every year.

It introduced a new method of assessment in an overall way to orient and subordinate all the economic organization and production control to the management of equipment and technical control and give priority to quality.

In the course, it over-fulfilled the first quarterly production plan, set at a high level, by increasing the number of operating days per ignition to 19 days in January and 26 in February for the first time in several decades. The number of operating days per ignition in the past had been 15 days on the average.

The innovative successes, made in raising the generating capacity 1.2 times by ensuring normal operation of the power system and updating the performance of generators, proved the validity and vitality of the strategy for readjustment and reinforcement set forth by the Workers' Party of Korea.

With the patriotic enthusiasm of officials and workers growing, the consumption of coal for producing 1 kWh of electricity in one generator alone decreased considerably as compared with the previous one, thus saving more than 6 000 tons of coal in the quarter of the year and opening up a prospect for remarkably increasing electricity production every year. -0-
