NTPC's first 800 MW Super Thermal Power Project set up in Telangana
Hyderabad: The first 800 MW Unit of phase 1 of the Telangana Super Thermal Power Project of NTPC has been installed in the Peddapalli district.
The project inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will provide low-cost power to Telangana.
“Smooth supply of electricity gives momentum to the growth of industries in a state,” the Prime Minister remarked.
He emphasised that the second unit of the project will also be operational very soon, and upon its completion, the installed capacity of the power plant would rise to 4,000 MW.
The Telangana Super Thermal Power Plant is the most modern power plant out of all NTPC power plants in the country.
Phase I of Telangana Super Thermal Power Project of NTPC is being established at an approved cost of Rs 10,998 crore on the available land in the premises of NTPC’s existing Ramagundam station in Peddapalli district.
It will supply 85% of its power to the state of Telangana.
Being a pit-head power station with ultra supercritical technology, this project will also help the state of Telangana with low-cost power.
