The project is commissioning and operation of a new, green field 469 MW Natural Gas fired, gas turbine based combined cycle power plant. The proposed project activity is being installed by GVK Gautami Power Ltd. (GPL) at Industrial Development Area, Peddapuram, near Samalkot in East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The project activity uses relatively cleaner fuel, natural gas instead of most common fuel in the grid i.e. coal for power generation. Thus, the project activity will avoid significant emission compared to the usual practice in coal dominated Indian power sector.

A new, green field 469 MW Natural Gas fired, gas turbine based combined cycle power plant has been commissioned and is in operation thanks to GVK Gautami Power Ltd. (GPL). Located at the Industrial Development Area, Peddapuram, near Samalkot in East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India, this project activity is using relatively cleaner fuel, natural gas, to generate power instead of the most common fuel in the grid i.e. coal. 

Key Highlights:
- The project uses cleaner fuel, natural gas, for power generation.
- This project activity is avoiding significant emissions compared to the usual practice in coal dominated Indian power sector.
- The project helps to reduce air pollution in the area.
- The use of natural gas also helps to conserve resources.
- The project has created job opportunities for the local community.

This project activity is crucial in the fight against climate change as it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By using natural gas instead of coal, the project activity avoids significant emissions and helps to reduce air pollution in the area. Additionally, this project helps to conserve resources and has created job opportunities for the local community.
