Haydarabad

TaLangana Power Generation Corporation (TG-Genco) officials make arrangements to assign the second unit of the 5×800 megawatt Yadadri Thermal Power Plant in Veerlapalem Village in Nalgonda region later. One unit was assigned in January this year.

According to TG-Genco S. Harish President and General Manager, Unit-2 was commissioned in January this year and Unit-1 will be commercially operational this month. The remaining three units would be commissioned until February.

When all of the five units become operational every day, against the necessity of 50,000 tons of coal every day, the YTPs would receive 12-14 rakkes per day (all rakes) in the Southern Central Central Railway (one rake carries approximately 4,000 tons of coal) and five units.

CMD, Genco’nun Janpahad departure point to the YTPS site with a 500 crore cost of a railway line, he said. The progress of YTPs also works as the construction of the YTP’s railway siding. SCR officials participating in the meeting, the current railway network for the transport of the necessary coal for YTPs said they are completely ready.

Railway officials also said that they have doubled the railway lines between Dornakal-Bhadrachalam and Motamarri-Vishnupuram to cope with the increase in traffic. Since the railway officials may not be in a position to meet the future demand, Genco proposed to examine other alternative coal supply sources for YTPS requirements.
