Projects
Brief details of the projects are as follows:
1. 2 x 800 MW Krishnapatnam Thermal Power Station: The Power station is designed for blended coal in the ratio of 70% washed domestic coal from Talcher to 30% imported coal. Sea water is proposed for cooling purpose and potable water by desalination. Krishnapatnam port (about 5 Kms from site) will cater to the requirement of importing heavy machinery and both domestic & imported coal of 3.5 and 1.5 million tons per annum respectively. EPC contract for the main plant has been awarded during July,2008 and for BOP during February 2009. Both units are likely to be commissioned during 2012-2013. The estimated complete cost of project is about Rs 8432/- Crores. The Debt & Equity ratio is 80:20 and Project is being financed by PFC and KfW, Germany.
In view of the exemplary Statesmanship and dedicated services rendered to the state by late Sri.Damodaram Sanjeevaiah, Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, the Govt.of Andhra Pradesh ordered Vide G.O.Ms.No.130 dt 12.12.2007 that the 1600 MW Thermal Power Project proposed to be established at Nelatur, Krishnapatnam, Nellore Dist be named as "Sri.Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station" with immediate effect.
2. 2100 MW Karimnagar Combined Cycle Power Plant: The 2100 MW Karimnagar Gas based combined cycle power plant was originally proposed using Natural gas as main fuel. In absence of linkage of natural gas for the said project, it was deferred subsequently. Meanwhile, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh has accorded in principle approval, during February 2010, to take up Karimnagar Gas Power Station using RLNG as Fuel for the first module of 700 MW initially. Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri K.Rosaiah laid foundation stone for the 1st block of 700 MW Unit on 14.2.2010. EPC contract is expected to be awarded by July,2010 and the gestation period for the project is 33-36 months from the award of EPC Contract.
