The project activity involves implementation and operation of a new natural gas fired grid-connected Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) of 366 MW capacity at Kondapalli near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh by Lanco Kondapalli Power Private Limited (LKPPL).  The CCPP project operates on Brayton Cycle (Compressor & Gas Turbine) at top and Rankine Cycle (Heat Recovery Steam Generator & Steam Turbine) at bottom. The power generated from the project activity is sold on merchant basis to the state utilities in Southern, Western & Northern India. The project employs state of the art technology with estimated project life of 20 years.

Lanco Kondapalli Power Private Limited (LKPL) has implemented and operates a new natural gas fired grid-connected Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) with a capacity of 366 MW at Kondapalli near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. This project utilizes the Brayton Cycle (Compressor & Gas Turbine) at the top and Rankine Cycle (Heat Recovery Steam Generator & Steam Turbine) at the bottom. The power generated from the project activity is sold on a merchant basis to state utilities in Southern, Western & Northern India.

Key Highlights:
- The CCPP project employs state-of-the-art technology.
- The estimated project life is 20 years.
- The power generated is sold on a merchant basis to the state utilities in Southern, Western & Northern India.

This project is important for the following reasons:
Natural gas is a cleaner and more efficient alternative to coal, which is the most commonly used fuel for power generation in India. This power plant reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change, and helps to improve air quality in the region. Additionally, the power generated is sold to state utilities, which helps to increase the availability of electricity and support economic growth in the region.
