Telangana Power Plant

India's biggest floating solar plant till date is being developed in Telangana's Ramagundam and is likely to be commissioned by May this year. It is one of the solar plants being developed by the energy conglomerate NTPC, which is all set to commission around 217 MW floating solar capacity in the next few months.

West Bengal gets 84 per cent of its thermal power from coal-based plants that are yet to comply with sulphur dioxide emission norms notified by the Environment Ministry, the maximum by any state in the country, according to a study conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Saturday took over the probe into the fire at the Srisailam hydro-electric power plant that killed nine people and injured three.

Sundar Nayak and Pawan Kumar, engineers at the Srisailam hydro-electric power plant in Telagana, had recently won their battle against COVID-19, but on Friday, Mr Nayak was not so lucky to survive a fire at the unit that left another eight dead.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has announced Rs 50 lakh compensation payment for deputy engineer Srinivas Goud's family and Rs 25 lakh each for families of others who died in a fire incident at Srisailam Left Bank Hydel Power Station (SLBHP) of the Srisailam reservoir in Nagarkurnool district of the state.

Rescue officials have retrieved bodies of nine people who were trapped inside a hydroelectric plant in Telangana which had caught fire late last night.

The power generation capacity of the second 1,000 MW unit at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) is being increased for its further synchronisation with India's national grid, a KNPP source said on Saturday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today lay the foundation stone for the first phase of NTPC's Telangana Super Thermal Power Project (STPP).

The government has asked state-run NTPC to apply for coal block for its proposed 4,000 MW thermal power plant in Telangana during the next round of allotment of mines.

The project valued at Rs 17,950 crore is one of the highest orders ever placed in the capital goods sector in India, the statement added.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and ensure that the state gets its due share of electricity from power plants in Andhra Pradesh.

The Chief Minister reposed faith and confidence in BHEL, which would execute the project as the nominated engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contractor within three years, the release added.

State-run National Thermal Power Corporation is expected to commence work on the first unit of the proposed 4,000 mw (5x800) power plant at Ramagundam in Telangana immediately.

With a severe cyclone forecast for Saturday night for Andhra Pradesh, a power crisis in the districts that are likely to be affected is about to end. Thousands of employees who work for state-run power plants have agreed to end their six-day long strike, held to punish the Centre for its decision to bifurcate the state.

The crisis in Vijaywada district of Andhra Pradesh, one of the major sites of intense opposition to Centre's plans to create Telangana, intensified further today with the closure of a power plant there.
