Expedite construction of 800-MW units at NTTPS and SDSTPS: Energy Minister

Energy Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy has directed the officials to expedite the construction of the 800-MW units at the Dr. Narla Tatarao Thermal Power Station (NTTPS) and the Sri Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station (SDSTPS) so that an additional 1,600 MW would be available at the earliest.

“The government is prepared to sort out any issue that may be hampering the projects,” he said in a review meeting on Wednesday.

The Minister said increasing the generation capacity was crucial as the State needed to overcome the emergency load shedding, which the power utilities were forced to resort to due to the coal crisis and other extraneous factors.
